Choose Religion, Default otherwise.
All Victories On

Everything else random.

 

[LegionSteve]

Ancient start, marathon, monarch level.

Aggressive AI, No Tech Brokering, Choose Religions.

All victories except time and domination.
(I really want to get a Conquest victory, never done it. I try not to go for Cultural but I leave it on so the AI has slightly more chance to win.)

I tend to change the map type and size and number of AIs for each game though.

 

[oranges]

Marathon, prince, ancient start.

I'm eternally grateful for No Tech Brokering. I also play without vassal states, never liked them much.

Huge maps, fractal, big and small, custom continents, but occasionally something else is interesting. All victories enabled.

 

[jlindy]

Large or huge map custom continents or terra, normal speed, 12 to 16 unrestricted leaders,
cultural victory off. If I'm in the mood for war conquest or domination only.

 

[Caesius]

Willem van Oranje
Prince
11-13 Civs
Archipelago/Archipelago (Tiny Islands and Snaky Continents are also interesting)
Huge
Low Sea Level
Tropical or Temperate
Marathon
Ancient Start
Accelarated Start (2160 pts default)
Raging Barbs (last game I left this on accidentally and was confused when craploads of axemen were coming at me; it was fun though and I'll definitely do it more often)
No Tech Brokering
No Tribal Villages
No Vassal States


I like to play in the water

 

[DLDante]

Huge
18 civs
Marathon speed
Custom Continents or Hemispheres
3 or 5 continents
Temperate
No Tech Brokering
Choose Religions
All victory conditions

 

[BlowPhish]

Huge Fractal, Epic, Monarch, 18 civs, No Space race or Diplomacy.

 

[agni77]

Boreal/Pangaea, Large, Epic/Marathon, Unrestricted Leader

Chm/Org (Washington? forgot), Mongols.

Just build gers and spam Keshiks. Epic/marathon means a LONG time of Keshik dominance, CHM allows for lvl 4~6 Keshiks with enough retreat % that they can usually wave out swordsmen and longbowmen.

[DilithiumDad]

Advance start with the default 600 points
Emperor (or Monarch without advance start)
Standard map size, game speed, sea level, climate
Big and little with standard size islands mixed in
Default number of AI opponents
All other settings default
Raging barbarians if playing a leader with an ancient UU or aggresive or charismatic trait

I'd like to use a bigger map, but my computer can't handle it (turns too slow by the modern era)

Fascinating how different people's settings are --no wonder there are so many disagreements on this forum --we're playing different games, essentially.
