Haven't seen this one before, a score game with an OCC.
I think I'll go with AP here.

 

[Noble Zarkon]

Yeah I wanted something a bit different

 

[Tonny]

This is a nice challenge . Completely different from a normal OCC game. Can't wait to submit my game once the HoF is working again .

Once I gave up on a religious victory and went full conquest mode, things became easier. It's always fun being one technological step ahead of your opponents. Fighter bombing runs from my carrier group were going unchallenged.

I set up opponents with civics matching my planned hereditary rule / organized religion but ended up running police state / theocracy.

National wonders were Moai statues, national epic, Oxford University, heroic epic and West Point.

My economy was fueled by pillage and the Kong Miao.

Learning moments:
You can defy an AP resolution and not automatically lose the hammer benefits.
Shaka simply will never capitulate.

does Score mean that any victory condition is allowed, but the winner is ranked by score instead of by date?

Precisely.
