Let me simplify the whole thing for everyone.
First lets start off with a table showing how years from 4000BC to 2000AD are divided up into game turns depending upon the level you play.
*** (Bear in mind there will be an additional 20 turns @ 1 year per turn for years 2001-2020AD irrespective of level).
Code:
Years | CHEIFTAN/ PRINCE KING EMPEROR/
Per Turn | WARLORD DEITY
========================================
50 | 60 60 60
25 | 40 40 40
20 | 250 50 75
10 | 50 150 50 25
5 | 50 50 50
2 | 50 50 50 50
1 | 150 150 150 150
========================================
Total | 550 500 450 400
Turns |
4000BC- |
2000AD |
========================================
Grand | 570 520 470 420 ***
Total |
4000BC- |
2020AD |
Notice how for all levels of gameplay 6000 years is dispersed in total in top table.
You can apply the logic which follows to any level.
Lets just analyze EMPEROR/DEITY for the sake of clarity:
a) 60 turns @ 50 years : 4000BC-1000BC
b) 40 turns @ 25 years : 975BC-0AD
c) 75 turns @ 20 years : 1AD-1500AD
d) 25 turns @ 10 years : 1510AD-1750AD
e) 50 turns @ 2 years : 1752AD-1850AD
f) 150 turns @ 1 year : 1851AD-2000AD
g) 20 turns @ 1 year : 2001AD-2020AD ***
==========================================
Now lets take GOTM3 for example:
That was an EMPEROR level game.
I finished that on year 940AD with 1540 points.
i) I know I have 100 turns from a) + b) above.
ii) 940AD falls somewhere in the c) category. The interval here is 20 years/turn. So I divide 940/20 to get 47.
=> So my total game turns was 147.
=> The total possible game turns was 420.
iii) So I derive my score as follows:
1540 * (1 + 4 * (420-147)/420)
=> 1540 * (1 + 4 * 273/420)
=> 1540 * (1 + 4 * 0.65)
=> 1540 * (1 + 2.6)
=> 1540 * 3.6
=> 5544
Note also this was a
BLOODLUST game, so no spaceships were involved. Earlier comments on spaceships starting off prior to the point that game turns are 1 year per turn does confuse things further.
Lets clear up that mystery while we are at it too:
For arguments sake, let us suppose for a moment that this EMPEROR game had not been BLOODLUST.
I had in fact launched a spaceship in
1750AD. Lets say I had the largest spaceship possible with 40,000 population, all 39 structurals,16 components and 12 modules.
I know from experience that takes 11.7 years, so rounded down this will take
11 years to reach planet.
If I launched in 1750AD, it would arrive in
1761AD, not 1772AD.
The table implies game turns at this point are in two year increments. There is a caveat. It's not so, once a spaceship gets launched.
So in essence all you need to do is:
1)
derive the launch year by taking the number of years it took for the journey to planet (rounded down) from your arrival year.
2)
Derive number of turns it took to initially get to launch year.
3)
Add number of years for journey, ((rounded down) as this will be equivalent to turns)
to get your answer in turns.
For the hypothetical scenario I described I would have used 211 turns to reach Alpha Centauri in 1761AD.

One last note!!!
Civ II already weighs your score based upon following table depending on the level you played at:
Cheiftan 20% of final score
Warlord 40% of final score
Prince 60% of final score
King 80% of final score
Emperor 100% of final score
Deity 120% of final score
Here's mud in your eye!
