Victory Conditions on Lage maps?

[Cainehill]

I think it's that some of the people who like to start the huge map games do so because they like huge long drawn out end games.

Many of us who don't want a game to go for six months, and take 2 hours per turn for the Last hundred or two turns, don't use the hugest maps, and even on the moderately large prefer victory conditions, either by victory points, by territory (51-66% of provinces) or by capturing enough capitals. I've never seen one done by research or dominion yet.
