SP benchmark

What I find works is playing with victory points, where each capital is worth 1, and everything else is worth 0, and all capitals must be captured. Granted, I pretty much only use SP for testing at this point anyways, but I remember that being somewhat fun.

I play exclusively SP games since Dom2 (tried a 2 or 3 MP games but my RL schedule is inimical to MP playing), i normally like to play maps with 150-200 provinces and max AIs for the era. To be able to finish the games i do something like Knai does, with all capitals worth 1 VP, but i set that you only neet 7 VPs for victory, as i imagine that if i manage to knock out 6 AIs i´m probably unbeatable anyway, and it gives a chance that one of the strong AI empries (MA or LA Ernor for example) will beat me to the victory...

I also made a rule that i only attack an AI if attacked first...
