Well I only play SP since I can't be sure to keep up with the turns in a MP game even if I would prefer that. I only have a few houserules I follow and those has already been mentioned earlier in this thread.

My favorite way of playing SP is simply trying to break my own records in winning as fast as possible. While the AI won't challenge me, my earlier win records will. My favorite map are Dawn of Dominions (I think that's the name) where about 10 or so EA nations are preset on a very nice map. The starting locations are not balanced but very thematical placed which makes me more immersed into the game.
