Woohoo! Lowest scoring domination! You have no idea how much work that took!
Now, let's try a losing effort on prince.

i mean look at the amount of time he invested in the game......143 hours 15 minutes. talk about dedication.
edit2: just realized why that cant realy be an award. way too easy to inflate your time, by leaving the game running.
how about one for "se7en" then (#543) for least time taken for a victory (spaceship none the less too, which means he got all the way through the tech tree), impressive i'd say with only an hour and forty mins.

They seem to be the only ones who played to the scoring conditions which, I suspect, is why they finished so much ahead of the pack. That, of course, does not take anything away from their achievements. Quite the contrary.solenoozerec said:Hendrikszoon and DaveMcW outlayers do not surprise me.
solenoozerec said:Thanks Alan. Indeed there is a strong correlation, Hendrikszoon and DaveMcW outlayers do not surprise me. However, indeed, there seems to be a little difference in curves with the different victory conditions. Spaceship is clearly below domination and diplomatic and cultural are somewhat scattered with the latter being the lowest. This could be due to specific game conditions, though.
(There is not actually very much of a science penalty for invading the world as the space race approaches because most of the cities you will take will be well-enough developed that they quickly provide more in tax and looting-value than they consume in maintenance.)
