Scoring

[mcrn55]

I like to gain as many points as possible, but with domination victories, I lose over 1000 points each time

Why are you penalised for winning in this manner?

I don't see what you're talking about. You don't lose points when you win, never. Actually your current score gets multiplied by a factor (max turns/current turn - so when you win on the very last turn on quick speed it would be 330/329 = pretty much 1.00 = no score bonus at all).

Earlier versions of Civilization had larger bonuses given to peaceful victories than Civ V. But I don't know if Civ V carried that forward or not.

Honestly, in both Vanilla and G&K, going a Tall peaceful science victory, your score had no resemblance on how you were proceeding towards your goal so I got in the habit of totally ignoring it. (You would normally be dead last with a tall 4 city empire in score in late game while being #1 in science & military strength.)

I'm also puzzled by this. Invariably my best scores are Dom victories for three reasons:

1. Usually get the VC earlier (see post above)
2. Grabbed whatever wonders the AI had built
3. Got a lot of cities/techs

Are you playing with a mod?

I was playing as Bismark

My score prior to my final assault was 5562

Took Moscow and ended the game

Went to Hall of Fame

Score shown as 4241 domination victory

This is not the first time this has happened in Domination

Score increases with all other types of victory

What is the turn number? And what is the difficulty level?
