A time to brag! Post your civilization score!

This was a week ago, so bear with me.

~4,000 points
French
Space Race Victory
Close to year 2,000

I had taken over the Germans and all of their land, the Russians too, almost all of the Greeks, and was making inroads into several other enemies. Not the usual Space Race ending, but I was growing tired of war!

Best score that I have gotten so far by a good bit. I think it was a Monarch game.

Many people have posted 10,000+ scores on Tiny maps. It's quite obvious the smaller the map the higher score. Score isn't game balanced for the map sizes otherwise we would see 10,000+ scores for huge maps.

japanese, 1700 ad, regent, 4480 pts
cultural victory (72 cities, (95M ppl) laugh. most of them were useless because of corruption but what the heck, they produced 1 science and one gold plus culture(!))

[hanZ]

i think the main reason for not seeing 10000+ scores on big maps is -> not many people had 2 weeks time to real play a single game on a huge map.

thats all. tiny maps are more fun (quicker game)

I think we don't see that scores in big maps because probably their not possible. For what i have seen so far what weights more in score is the territory you control. So playing in a tiny map and being militaristic since the biggining leads to those huge scores. Maybe i'm wrong...

Score: 1792

Game setup: Americans, 8 civs, huge map, restless barbs

Victory: Space Race, 1966 (only defeated one civ - Germans)

I think you get more points for conquering civs and gaining a victory as early as possible.

Happy citzens add an awful lot.

Ive had tremendous success from a scoring perspective playing Monarch Pangea Huge 16 civs pulling 4000 to 5000 as I complete the modern ages (I dont build space ships, I just get bored when the turns get to long)

1150 with Iroquois in 1960 - unfortunately I have no oil, and in fact can't find a single oil on the map (apart from one off-shore one, which is useless), so I guess I'll just have to grind the Americans down with Cavalry/Artillery combos and go for the long haul...

Oil appearing off-shore was NOT programmed by Firaxis. So if you were stupid enough to download & play a mod without understanding the risks that mod did then that's your fault.
