Its not like there is anything at stake... Surely peoples self reports are sufficient. I find the whole competition aspect a bit odd. I'm not trying to beat anyone ... its interesting enough just to read about the different approaches. If you want to achieve a remarkable result its seems thats...

As an alternative idea you could try using some of the steam type achievements as game goals. E.g. getting all 16 luxuries as Aztecs. Or Building Cristo Redentor and Macarena in one City as Brazil. Not all of them are usable but it would be something more novel than the standard victories alone.

I'm currently trying the major but i hope to squeeze in a second go round at the minor as i am pretty sure i can top my 1st score by a good bit. I'm not sure what the upper bound might be tho ~ the highest settler score i can see in the table is 28 k but that was a std pangaea map so maybe half...

Is that you with the top score Peets?
