How to go for Domination on Large map?

[troublmaker]

M success model was basically to always open with an attack on whoever is closest to me. With them out of the way I build up my military technologies and focus my attacks on whoever is the strongest.

With Brave New World the strongest detriment to a Domination victory is that as you take cities everyone else will hate you, if you beat too many people they'll all declare war on you.

I've found it far easier to get the domination victory on an archipeligo because if you dominate the seas everyone is easy to pick apart.

it sounds like an update is needed - to revert back to the original way domination was handled. Domination is now near impossible on crowded maps.

How so? If you take the capital of someone who has already got someone else's captial, it should be fairly easy to take that out too.

Cheers.

I just finished one where England had the Celts capitol and both were only separated by a fairly narrow waterway (small continents). I dow'd Lizzy, grabbed Edinbourgh real quick and Madrid like 3 turns later. Battleships vs. frigates FTW!

I kinda felt bad when I had to attack Theo to grab the last cap. since we had been friends the whole game.

Note: This one was easier than normal since all 8 capitols were on a coastline.
