I am working my way up in difficulty and am currently winning regularily on Regent. Anyways, whenever I win my score is usually around 2000 or less. My people seem to be very happy and I can usually achieve large populations but my score sucks. Any pointers would be appreciated.
 
Score has mostly to do with territory, year of winning, and level. To increase your score (short of milking and other such boredom) you must do three things:

1. Conquer more territory...
2. sooner...
3. at a higher level.

Playing larger maps helps provide more territory to conquer, so playing huge maps is advisable if score is important to you. Alternatively, you can play a very high level and annihilate your opponents extremely early with good tactics and a lot of luck.

so do the future techs, dont forget those.
Actually, do forget those. They are worth so little that it is better to just spend that gold on entertainment.
 
Your average "score" throughout the game is your apparant "score". You will realize that even if you don't gain any citizens, land, happiness, or future techs, your score may continue to rise or fall. That is because it is averaging more of your current score to the average. That is also why people actually "milk". Milking doesn't improve the state of their civ; it makes the average score throughout the game higher.
 
thats not true, i have increased my emperor socres by hundreds because of cranking my ent. on the last turn, and then iu tried cranking it 5 turns before retirement or winning by using auto save and i occur the same score regardless....
 
The score is based on the state of your nation throughout the WHOLE game.

example: you are a small nation from the begining to 50 turns before end when you start conquering and in that 49 turns your nation owns 64 % of the land and 70 % of population. your score will be slightly higher then it was before the campaign, but if you start conquering 300 turns before the end and you get 64 % of land and 70% of population and decide to wait for historiograf win, your score will be about 10 times as much as in the first example. both games end the same but the score diference is BIG. :p

Are you certain that this isn't just the bonus recieved for finishing early?
you asking me or the jub-guy :confused:
 
perhaps to better explain how score is calculated:

1) every turn you get a certain score based on territory, happy citizens, content & specialist citizens, future tech, and possibly other factors, this is an individual score for that turn alone

2) all the scores for all your turns are then averaged, this is then your real score
