Favorite multiplayer options

Part 2: What are your favorite options to play with in a multiplayer game?

• Civ-Specific Abilities: I always play with this on, mutliplayer or otherwise
• Accelerated Production: Playing mutliplayer without this option on is just plain crazy
• Regicide: Makes for an exciting game
• Mass Regicide: Doesn't make the game as "special" as regicide, but still adds excitement to the game
• Victory Point Locations: Never tried it in multiplayer, but I know it would be fun
• Capture The Princess: Same as above

In other words, all of them but elimination. Elimination is just too quick and, well, seems pointless. I mean, not being able to have any of your cities taken over is just a little harsh...

You also forget some others, such as cultural conversions, but no big whoop.

I just like to have AP on and civ specific. I hate eliminination.

Why? I think it spoils the game. Personally I only like to play with Civ-specific abilities.

Mostly because it makes the game go more quickly, which is good for mutliplayer. (I guess I withdraw my crazy statement. )

The thing I don't like about it, though, is that due to the doubled production the difference between units is often minimalized. For example, instead of a more expensive unit taking 10 more turns to build, it might only take 4.

I mainly like Regicide.
