[NFP] Easiest Setup for Score Victory?

[Bojmir]

So I've been moving up the difficulties (on Emperor now) and the score victory has always eluded me. I've been trying to think of what standard map setup would make this the easiest but it continues to elude me. At lower difficulty, unintentional culture victory seems to find me despite my efforts and at higher difficulties opponent science victories always seem to be the outcome. If I do a larger map then I'd have more people at risk for a science victory and it I had a smaller map, I'd still be in danger or science and culture no? Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

Set the numbers of turns to around 275 otherwise you are never going to make it to a score victory because the AI can usually win by the end of 500 turns.

To stop AI science victory would require a lot of efforts: spies to sabotage/wars to pillage the rocketry districts. Easiest way is to uncheck the victory types you don't want to see before starting the game (advanced new game setup options).

I think to avoid culture victory you can put Greece on the map and Eleanor. Both civilization gains a lot of great writers and artists. As for science victory, you are going to wage war. There is the problem of diplomatic victory as well.

The ai will stumble into a VC after turn 300 unless you severely hamstring them so you'd have to limit turns or be a crazed pillager. Huge map going for domination is best since score is heavily based on the land you claim. Just don't self build anything that will generate tourism and sell great works to opponents. Culture is generally the only one you can trigger without actively pursuing it so you have to actively avoid it. Focus on light cavalry and coastal raiders and go nuts.

Or you could just disable all other VCs.

Have never tried it myself, but I've heard playing Peter/Russia (who gets extra territory) and setting the turn limit to 1 gives you a one turn score victory.
