Need help with end game strategy

[rcngrunt]

I have been playing in some ladder games and leading by score until the end of the game. Somehow my opponents have a good end game strategy. Anyone know how they are making up the difference in the score so late in the game. Need help. Thank you.

Score is only determined by population and territory (and a bonus if you win before 2050 A.D.)

So you could have a large territory and high population, but you don't have the infrastructure to do anything with that. It sounds like you are doing a good job at expanding (grabbing territory early in the game), but after you expand to a certain point you need to switch to more infrastructure to make your cities more powerful. Decide early on what victory you want to go for, and start building/doing things to steer you towards that victory. Without a save game to look at or more details, I can't really say anything more.
