Things not documented in the manual

[Edratman]

Victory points requires a specific set up in the game conditions menu titled Victory Conditions.

You can then choose to assign 1 VP per capitol, and/or the number of 1, 2 or 3 victory point provinces, and the number of victory points required to win. Then computer randomly designates the non capitol victory point provinces prior to the first turn.

Once you use victory points once or twice it it pretty intuitive on the set up.

On larger maps, victory points is the preferred option for most of the forum.
