I really appreciate your efforts (and quick responses!) to support the Dom2 MP community.

Can I "restart" the game while giving it different victory conditions, or am I better off just creating a whole new game and having another signup?

I thought I had played SP games previously with more than 25 VP's, but I gather that wasn't actually so.... I rarely finish, so it's hard to tell.

The best way to use VP's then is to set a low number with capital bonuses off?

Seems like this would lead to mobbing the arbitrary provs rather than a traditional empire game.

Does anyone have experience using VP's successfully in a fairly normal (i.e. non psychorush) game?

I believe you could change the required VP to win, but not the number of VP in game. As you wish to do both, you would have to start a new game Sorry...

To maximize the number of VP in a game, check the capital VP and set the number of VP to 25. With 17 nations, that is 42 VP. The dumm part is figuring out how many VPs should be required to win.

As for gameplay, playing with few VP makes a few (random) provinces incredible strategic important; playing with many makes VP games like normal games except they stop before getting mind-boggling dull. All depending on how many VPs are required to win.
