Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see that the ending score where they rank you is based on your in game score when the game ends. This means that it's actually better to win later on, instead of early.
At the moment in my Brave New World emperor difficulty game, I make 1000 gold, 3000 science, and 500 tourism per turn, and have all 40 city states as allies, and won a diplomatic victory at the year 2019. I only ranked 2nd (2300 points) at the end score list (where they rank you after all the great rulers throughout Civilization).
So if I were to not win diplomatically, and delay the game longer (i'm way ahead of everyone in technology and military), I would be able to score higher.
Initially, I thought I would earn a higher rank for finishing the game earlier, but it's only based on score which will rise as the game progresses.
What does everyone think about this?
