I'm on my phone at the moment. But I was thinking everyone could go back and open up some of their saves for games they've played at reasonable turns to get a vague idea of points they have based on this scoring system and point progression throughout the games to see if some pattern can be noted.
Because there's so many ways to score points, pinpointing one specific way to win is probably the wrong way to do things without samples.
I'm unfortunately starting to get busy with life again just as the sgotm is starting but I will try to play an emperor and immortal game aiming to fulfill the multiple criteria in an attempt to maximise points.
Wonders and culture go hand in hand and are (more likely) to be independent of mapmaker shenanigans than conquest which is the 'easy' solution. Lower difficulty allows us to focus on culture and wonders too whilst maintaining a conquest worthy army.
