Scoring

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

I'm currently playing CivIII with the Conquest/PTW add-on and was wonderign
what affects the final score? I know the basic factors are difficulty
levels, number of opponents and maybe advances, but what about aggression
levels, world size/age/climate or who you choose? Do any of these or other
factors affect the score?

Just wondering

The final score is the average of your population and territory. Future tech
counts but doesn't really add anything.

The only modifier is difficulty level. Some of the things you mention only
have indirect effects on score. For example, playing with fewer civs allows
you to expand faster in the beginning giving you an overall higher score.

Because of this, playing to the time limit increases the final score more
than a faster ending. The additional time allows population growth and
territorial expanse. Both of these are greatly reduced after conquest as the
defeated empire has to be repaired and allowed to build culture (expand
territory).
