Defaults on mosehansen

So I am playing a very good game on mosehansen, however I am very worried about victory points. When I created the game I *SADLY* did not notice that they are on by default on that server.

So it looks like there are 5 on the map. Please tell me that you need to take all of them to win the game. If you only need a lesser number this will *really* spoil the game. And we are on turn 49 so it would *suck* for the game to end just by taking a couple of provinces.

In the game, go to options -> View Game Settings.

It will tell you how many victory points are actually required. If there is nothing mentioned there, then the victory points are simply vestigial and do not actually contribute to anything other than their dominion-spreading effects. Orania has victory points built into the map, which can't be disabled. However, if victory point wins are not on, then they don't do anything other than the halftemple effect.

Seems like VP victory is not on.

If you look at the game options, all the vp parameters are blank.

Once a game has started, those parameters are no longer listed from the webpage.

1. Enter the game
2. Press ESC
3. Click "view game settings"

The values on the webpage only states what values were/will be used to start the dominions server. All games options are listed in the "browse/manage" page; blank means that they have no value (i.e, they are not included in the options string).

Remember, the web pages are merely an interface to the text-mode server + a few convenience features. Nothing more
