I have something around 230k I think. The best scores are around 1 million, but that's pretty rare.

Wow! Those scores put me to shame lol!

What is the score made up from? From what I can tell it includes; Wonders built, size of empire, cultural influence, techs discovered, type of victory won, size of population... Anything else?

3 most important factors are pop, land, and finish date. Type of victory is irrelevant. Things like culture, wonders, and tech are also factors but comparatively minor.

Thanks TheMeInTeam, but that raises and interesting question... Say you are almost at an early domination victory and no other civ is likely to win another type of victory would it not then be wise to just keep your civ developing i.e. growing in population before eventually taking the last few cities needed to give you a victory? Or is the date more important than your empires population?

You have the right idea. Hall of Fame notes something called "Sushi Milking" for a reason .

I forget the cutoff, but there IS a somewhat optimal finish date. I just don't know it as I never seriously attempted to max my score that way (it isn't fun for me).

I think my highest score was around 200,000 but that was over a year ago and I havn't gotten over 150,000 since then.

Dang... I feel bad posting in this thread, the highest I have ever recorded (at least with one of my real games) is 87,000, playing Darius on Earth 34, Noble, Marathon speed.

Well done

You'll find that your scores increase massively with each level up in difficulty, too - seems to be the single biggest factor.

482573, Boudica of Rome, immortal, late 1500s domination huge pangea. In-game score was almost 7000. The other world power was Gilgamesh with 4 vassals, I had 3 vassals. So it ended in a world war in which everybody was involved. After destroying one of his vassals and Gilgamesh's 100+ stack of doom, his most powerful vassal broke off and everybody capitulated on that turn. This was also the game where I got ridiculously lucky with the goody huts early on (got ironworking).

As far as a more normal game, I got 333000ish as America on emperor. Was a good map I remember but America sucks, lol.

198691, Bismark of Germany. Prince, Fractal, Standard, Domination win in 1095 AD. A bit surprising, because I in no way played that game particularly well, but thanks to Toku I got angry and killed or vassalised the whole continent, and suddenly I'd won.

The highest score I could find, was this game. 1 085 334.

My record is 164.379. It was a conquest game on large continents on prince, where I only killed one person. I took the other seven as vassals.
