Is there a difference ?

The default HoF page is based on raw score. If you look at the left drop down menu though, you'll note that you can break down the tables by specific victory conditions. On those tables the lists are ordered by fastest finishes with scores used as tie breakers. (It's all considered the same HoF.)

Yes, and a good example of how positions can actually be REVERSED depending on the Table, and I'm a bit embarrassed to even highlight this, BUT......if you look at the Highest Scores on Emperor, positions 5 & 6........then look at the Conquest Table(s), you'll see the positions reversed!

@Aeson: To be CONSISTENT, how about an HOF Table, listing Map Sizes by Histographic Victory......for the Dairy Farmers of the World!?

Presumably, the original thinking was that Histographic Victories (Milk Runs) would always beat other victories by score and thus be on the HOF High-Score Table.......BUT, this doesn't apply to smaller Map Sizes, played at lower levels.....where Conquest Victory always takes the High Score!

Currently, for example, Chieftess' Regent Level Milk Run on a Tiny Map can NEVER make the HOF High-Score Table!

P.s. I'd better post this in the "HOF Rules" thread!

I'm unspeakably happy that there's more slots for the HoF (hence more activity) and I respect anyone who submits a game that makes the lists, but to be honest, the only tables I ever pay real attention to are the high score default list that loads. I suppose primarily because I've always played for raw score...

Well... hmmm...
I think.. that if u can get a high score on Large size map, u can also get it on Huge .
Playing huge maps is painful for me. TOO DAMN IMPATIENT !!!!
BUT .. I say to you now...
I will try , RIGHT NOW, to wreack havoc on the Monarch Huge map HoF.,, and make fun of your puny scores afterwards... WAAHAHAHA

now, I got to get me a nice start location... Maybe I make a thread unless u are starting to get tired of seeing my name all over the HOF discussion.. haha

Good luck. You're going to need it.
(There was a reason I made a reference to EMan's Monarch score...)

Hmmm.. I cant imagine what that reason is.
Does it take 30 days ?
Did he almost not survive achieving that score from lack of nutrition ?
Did his girlfriend start sending murder threats ?
Will I get fired ??????????

I started my thread at 780ad on 3/31, so not quite 30 days yet, but it will likely take that long.

Define nutrition.

I did play on archipelago, 60 % water, wet and 5 billion. What did u play, svar ?

I played a continents, 60% water, warm, wet, and 5 billion year old world.

Congratulations on the success of this thread BTW, when I went to bed last night (2:30 AM) you had 2 replies, when I get up this morning there are 33. That might be some kind of a record. When do all you people sleep?

My large world Monarch game was my first attempt at the HOF and it was played poorly. My huge world Monarch game was played better but the map was capable of producing a score well over 30,000. I only built 1 settler factory and had to capture the Pyramids from the English while in a Republic government. Having more than 1 settler factory, building the Pyramids in a goody hut popped settler established city at turn 10 and playing in a Monarchy governament would have done the trick.
