I am playing the adventure map
Just started a game on it yesterday. Since I didn't change the victory conditions (just have Standard Victory), do those VP provinces still spread dominion? Also, is the number of crowns the number of VP?

I normally play with indie strength 7, so that works
Although I'm using Normal AI, since it's been over a year since I last played. I need to remember how to play, hehe.

My current game I just went with Standard Victory. I like long games

I went with me + 15, so that's close
I'm playing Early Age, Niefelheim.

Is that with too few nations? Or can that happen even with 17+ Nations?
Thanks for replying, Edi!
