Those crowns aren't on the map in a local test game I started. I don't know what they are. Someone take one of those provinces and see if there's anything special there.

The latest report shows you with 1 Victory Point, and you just took a province with a crown, right?. So, it's a Victory Point.

That is kind of weird, because, this is exactly how I started the game, minus the master password: Code:

---

dom3 -T -S --port 8098 --noclientstart -q --uploadmaxp 6 --scoredump --mapfile aran.map --renaming --era 1 -s b3 

---

Can anyone help explain how victory points could have become enabled? Or how we can find out if there is a victory point condition, and if so, what it is?

I could duplicate this starting a network game through the command line.

When I start a game actually using Victory Points, they're listed in the game settings and shown in the score graphs so I think we're OK. I had to go into work for a few hours this morning, but I'll check with a test game this afternoon that taking them doesn't actually win the game.

Aren't victory point provinces supposed to raise dominion? I wonder if these do?

Yes, as if you had built a temple there, and your dominion was level 5.

I have no idea if we'll be able to tell. Dominion spread is based on probability, so you could be getting either lucky or unlucky. I guess your best plan is just to hold on to that province and hope it's doing you some good .
