So I am still a newbie at Civilizations IV and I was wondering how do I get the most points? I often play on Chieftain level but whenever I play this game I always seem to be in like place 10 out of 18 player games. I am the most technologically advanced nation in many of my games. But I always seem to be in the very middle of the game when it comes to scoring points. Even lesser advanced nations will have like 1000 points more than I do. Why is that? How do I get the most points of this game?
How to score the most points?

In game score (the one used for the in-game rankings) is based on 4 components:
Population
land controlled
Techs
Wonders
Population is BY FAR the most important. Land is a clear second. Techs and wonders have comparatively little effect. Nothing other than the above 4 matters.
So to get the largest score, the simple answer is get more cities and grow them bigger.

But its all about win... you can win never being 1st in points.. and lose, being 1st all the game (when some Mansa Musa wins culture

The turn you win at matters too. Win earlier and you generally get more points, though you need high population and so forth too of course.
For the OP, a good way to get a very high score is to spread a food corporation in all your cities, so they grow big fast, but also win fairly early.

I have no idea really, all I know is that the most points are best earned when you have more cities built in the land. World wonders add to the points as well.
