Recently, I've been loving playing the Earth map on Scrambled Continents, Huge, 16 Civs. I found that with 12 Civs there was just too many open spaces and 16 Civs filled them out, and engendered War a lot more easily:for instance, in the last game I played (as Portugal), Indonesia, Germany, Rome, Sweden and the Songhai spent the better part of a millenium kicking the crap out of each other in Europe, while Greece took Spain and Babylon in South East Asia, so I heartily recommend that configuration to everyone, ramping it up to 18 Civs makes things a little too cramped I've found.
Usually, I'm a Diplo/Science guy but I've got a game with the Mongols coming up and it always seems a crime to not go Domination with Civs like them.
However, I have never attempted a full on Domination on Huge Maps. Anyone got any experience with that? It seems like it'll be really laborious and drawn out, not to mention difficult to keep the economy and happiness in the black...
