One should not put too much weight to variant2 value, though. 1) Other parts of the ruleset define how much culture points accumulate/turn. 2) Variant2 is for longer games in general, so also more culture points accumulate over longer period. 3) Variant2 value is rather experimental in itself.

In experimental ruleset regular city (Library+University+Colosseum) gives 4 points of history/turn, and capital (+Palace) gives 6. 20 cities gives 82 points/turn. Over course of 200 turns that would make 16400 points. Maybe 15000 would be a good value for victory_min_points?

There's more culture granting buildings in civ2civ3 and sandbox than in experimental, so presumably they should have higher victory_min_points. But maybe not much, since not all cities have all the buildings, and anyway there's quite high victory_lead_pct. Maybe 18000?

I agree 10000 is a bit low. Something between 15000 and 20000 sounds good to me for civ2civ3/sandbox. I'd vote for 20000 with a lower victory_lead_pct. Which value of victory_lead_pct would allow to win with 20000 when the second player is below 15000?
