Gandalf's Crazy Solo Games

I get victory points. But we're talking 1500 provinces here. Even with 35%, you're going to be a huge empire before winning.

I'm just curious how bad it gets in these huge games and how Gandalf handles it.

I recall reading Gandalf doesn't finish his SP games when playing 1000 or more provinces. I see he already responded...
I always finish my SP and MP games to the bitter end whether I'm winning or losing. In the scenario where 35% of VPs are needed on maps of 1400 provinces... the time to win actually becomes a matter of research and gem income. Once you have enough gems to create powerful armies all you need is the research to teleport them to the correct VP provinces.
The only downside is the AI needs to be improved to recognize provinces with VPs.
