Id vote for the 33% or more hold for 5 turn or more
But I'm not sure about all the hold province thing. Make more sense to me to be the last pretender standing to claim godhood.

The problem with that is you'd reach a point where one player was obviously going to win, but he'd still have to hunt down the last survivors.

If I were one of the fugitives I'd want to concede because it would be boring, and I'd want to move on to a new game where I might have a chance.

If I were the winner I'd be just as bored, and hoping that people would concede so I'd have more time to put into a new, freshly challenging game.

If you're concerned that a quicker game like that means that the late game gets abbreviated (meaning the highest level spells never get researched and longterm strategies don't come to full fruition) then a big map with 22 players is more appropriate. I'd wager that with one of the bigger maps, even at 33% province victory, some players would get to see the fruits of their long term planning.
