hi guys, just wondering if there is some kind of record on the top anc cton score. would be nice to have a thread where people can post their highest scores to see how they get on compared with others in the ultimate FFA gaming style.
for example,
hi, my ladder account name is TheVindicator and i achieved a score of 1856 pts earlier today in a cton.
plz post if you also think you have a high score that other people should know about

hm civaholic might be a more apt description. though u can be both i'm sure.
i think that scores alter depending on the size of map etc.
so whether it would be a fair comparison, i don't know.

Yeah on a duel size map you can get over 1500 points just by covering half the land (only takes around 5 cities, if that).
Points are based on the percentage of land you own (as well as pop, tech and wonders) so if you are on a small map it is very easy to score big with a culture bomb.
I have had well over 3000 point in a small ancient cton

Just played a game a few weeks ago and achieved my highest score ever (5,338). This was not because I am a good player but because the others playing me that were left in this game were more noobish than me. It was in a 120 turn cton with 6 players on a standard map high sea. The host (the only skilled player going by ranking system on ladder (445wins-345losses at time) )got caught with his pants down and was taken out early. The other 4 in game continued on but did not expand much. I ended up winning with 11 cities, most of the wonders, and killed my other neighbour. My point is, I don't think the score really reflects how good of a player you are but how much better you are than the players you are playing in that particular game. P.S. I suck and was very lucky

Stardard map 120 turns ancient indland, is a score of 5300 even possible?
I have personally not even seen anything like that score in a cton with the above settings.
As someone has said before, score is really dependant on map/size of map.

Yes I do question the accuracy of this claim though I do not question the claimant's integrity. ;D

Scores can vary based on sea level, map size, etc. I remember on 4 players/small sea level inland game recently I conceded a game to Game Theory where i had 1900 and he had 2100 with 10 turns left in a 130 turn game (I had killed the other 2 early with War Chariots). Only time I saw two players that high in the same game.

Score also depends on when you win. The sooner the better. In one duel map size cton I had only 3 cities, and destroyed my opponent fairly quickly. I got rome and got a conquest victory in 720 BC. The in game score was 852 when i won. Not very high at first glance. However, the normalized score was 7782. which score are you going by? My highest normalized 120 turn Duel size cton score was with Mongolia. It was a conquest victory in 720 AD. The in-game final score was 1410. My normalized score for that game was 25,755!!! Keep on civin'.

25,000 is not that high. This has nothing to do with mp but over at CFC people pull off scores as high 300,000 in the GOTM and HOF. It's actually pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, just from reading CF, it's clear that 25000 is pretty crap when it comes to score.

The funny thing is, those players know all the tricks to inflate their scores and exploit the AI to the nth degree. I'd like to see how they handle playing MP with players who actually know how to attack and defend. Seriously, how bad is the AI?

monarch and above the ai gets to cheat so ridiculously
its still easy to outscore it but its sad how bad they get to cheat rather then just react properly.
I took an ai to one city and let it live on emperor once just to see, within like 5 turns it had 5 rifles built back up, and I was blockading everything.

The game of the month is a fuggin joke. Its set on such easy levels that you are a moron not to score high. To play them like they are real games wont yield even close to that score, but you can go all game with no defense but 1 warrior, tek out and then kill when ready to kill.
The game of the month games are a joke
