Will have to take a look if I can find any information about the scoring system, this seems strange.

I would have assumed that pop/wonders/techs/... would be included in the basic score already and normalisation is just turn/time dependant, but obviously not.

20000? Why did I have the distinct recollection that I had 40000? Hmh, well who cares, I came in third with the highest non-normalized score!





I'd like to hear from the winners. How do you win so early?

This was before I ever laid eyes on Boreal.

Basically what I already wrote before, but mainly the following:

Fast research due to Representation from the Mids and nearly contant war with maceman/trebs+ once I had a decent force to tackle (Kublai?) Khan.

I was rather light on number of units really, but being 1-2 eras more advanced than the AIs does help Due to this the unit costs were managable, I needed less Galleons for transport and the initial buildup-phase was faster, too.

Now now - the Boreal script does teach you certain lessons.................

This was my huge mistake. I rarely run specialist economies, and didn't think about switching to representation until well into the game.

Though I also tend not to use the whip too much, but with the abundance of food I was whipping instantly in most cities as soon as the -happiness thing was up.

Big whoops on the specialists though! :P
