A very good question, OH should probably answer this, because he will take care of winning as he probably takes over at some point after PB13 is over and I start working full-time 60+ hour weeks. I haven't thought about that too much yet as it would almost be too overconfident at this point when you are playing a 33 civ game. Anyways, rough ideas:
Cultural victory:
- I guess we would need to take control of at least this continent (there might be more land west of Mardoc though) in order to have even a remote chance of success. So 2 kills/land worth of 3 civs. Quite a bit of geopolitical luck also needed and probably also more suitable traits than our FIN/IMP.
Space:
- My rough guess would be that getting land equivalent of 6 civs share could give you a necessary teching/production power.. So two 3-player continents? Well, in the end that only depends on what your competitors get and it's difficult to say what's enough.. But it's probably safe to assume that some contenders manage to conquer at least land worth of 4-5 players before space race becomes an issue.
But if we happen to get into a winning position above considerations won't be that relevant, because we will go after Domination anyways.
Then the correct answer for kills needed is just constantly: More!
