size: medium (havent got all day to play :) )

habitable planets: occasional

Number of planets: occasional (no too many planets to conquer, thus reducing game time)

Number of stars: common

Star density: loosly scattered

Anomalies: Frequent

Technology rate: Very slow (I like to feel each tech actually counts)

Victory conditions: all possible (with AI surrenders switched off)

Game options unchecked: disable tech trading, disable minor races

Game options checked: allow AI to use CPU-intensive & blind exploration

I find this setup gives me a game that plays out very well and doesnt take too long.

Map: Varies

Habital Planets: Abundant

Number of Planets: Abundant

Number of Stars: Abundant

Star Density: Scattered (keeps there from being vast tracts of space with nothing in it)

Anomalies: Abundant (Cause I like getting a lot of those bonuses)

Technology Rate: Very Fast (I don't like hitting enter more than I have to. Sometimes I have it slower but since I usually wait until I've teched up to a certian point when I do something, it wouldn't be different)

 

Yes I am impaitent.

 

All victory except for technology victory (I HATE it when I'm doing really well and some AI player researches technology victory out of nowhere and I lose)

Minor Races and CPU-Intensive Enabled.
