How to change the victory condition in a scenario game?

[jayho]

I like playing the 18civ earth scenario but the major problem in any scenario game is the victory condition has been preset. Does anyone knows how to change the victory condition and the number of turn (so it the game will last much longer) please?

Open the scenario file in any text editor. Below is the first portion of the file from the Revolutionary War scenario. You put the "Victory=..." lines in for the ones you want enabled. However, if no victory conditions are listed, it means that all are enabled.

Version=11
BeginGame
Speed=GAMESPEED_NORMAL
Calendar=CALENDAR_MONTHS
Option=GAMEOPTION_NO_CITY_RAZING
Option=GAMEOPTION_NO_CITY_FLIPPING
Option=GAMEOPTION_FLIPPING_AFTER_CONQUEST
Victory=VICTORY_TIME
Victory=VICTORY_CONQUEST
Victory=VICTORY_DOMINATION
GameTurn=6
MaxTurns=100
TargetScore=165
StartYear=1775
Description=TXT_KEY_AMREV_DESCRIPTION
ModPath=Mods\American Revolution\
EndGame

I believe the others not listed in the above example are VICTORY_SPACERACE, VICTORY_CULTURE and VICTORY_DIPLOMATIC.

Also, you can create a Custom Game with the rules settings you want, start the game, then switch to the world builder and save. The resulting scenario will have the settings you want.

Here's the section from the earth senario.

Version=11
BeginGame
Calendar=CALENDAR_DEFAULT
GameTurn=0
StartYear=-4000
EndGame

This means that all victory conditions are enabled, so you'd want to make it look like this.

Version=11
BeginGame
Speed=GAMESPEED_EPIC
Calendar=CALENDAR_DEFAULT
Victory=VICTORY_CONQUEST
Victory=VICTORY_DOMINATION
GameTurn=0
StartYear=-4000
EndGame

This would give you the longest game, especially with the GAMESPEED_EPIC put in there.
