IMHO winning by having the highest score feels the most natural, because that means that your empire is actually the greatest, instead of just being popular enough or launching a rocket. Other 4X, like Stellaris, Humankind or Dune works that way.
However, score is often ignored and because of that, it may not be very well balanced. I'll like to look into it.
Could devs provide the score formula, so we could work on that?
Which part do you think is not well balanced?
I think that maybe Wonders give too much score, because they are not that impactful, while technological progress, number of cities and population contribute too little.
