Jason Scoring question.

[7Losses]

Im playing a COTM and was wondering whether a domination victory in 1860 would give a higher jason score than waiting until 2050 for a domination or histographic victory.

I guess it depends on the map, but generally does a faster win with lower firaxis points give a better jason score?

The Jason score aims at giving you a bonus for an early finish that "sort of" mimics the score that you'd get if you milked the game to 2050. Basically, unless you are uber-good at milking, you're best to just trigger the victory when you can. Even if you did get a higher score milking to the end, there wouldn't be a lot in it, and you'll save yourself 10's of hours by just finishing earlier!

ainwood, could you tell me a bit about Jason score? I'm new to GOTM and don't know much.

This link can be found in the GOTM reference section. I suggest reading through it as it will explain a lot.

There's also a page giving details of the calculation here, and you can use the online Jason score calculator to see the effect of different dates and Firaxis scores on the Jason score for past games.
