You do realize Conquests isn't legal for the HOF yet, don't you?

Well, you're in luck. In the few short hours since my post, Aeson declared C3C legal.

Rock on my friend!

Since there is no Mapstats for C3C yet, good luck in counting tiles.

Bummer...

there is the victory status screen, so it isn't that difficult to get to the domination limit with some trial and error.

Actually, counting tile is very easy. By the time, I conquered more than half of the world, I usually had around 400 slave workers and at least another 200 regular workers. With railroad and everything, there isn't much to do, so I ordered them to count tiles for me.

Basically, I use workers as map marker. I group them in stack of 50 each, then line them from corner to corner one section of the map then fill them up. For example, 400 workers in a section of map = 400 tiles. Note: line them up in to form a rectangular box first, before filling them up. You still have to count coastal square the yourself, but that's easy. Btw, you don't really have to fill them up unless your landscape is in really weird shape.

PS: You don't have to count the ocean. Just count the land and coastal then subtract them by the total square in the map and that would give you the total number square of sea and ocean.
