I have a 4-week summer vacation right now, but I have no intention of using that time to get 20k+ points. I would probably be bored to death before I was halfway through the game.

I think that the theoretical high score could be even higher. If you manage to destroy a lot of civilizations early in the game, you recieve more bonus points from a world conquest victory than the maximum 400 for a SS win.

I'm not sure about the exact scores for destroying a civ. But a quick test that I just did, killing all civs before 3000 BC, including several new ones that sprung up, gave already a bonus of 1705 points. Killing all except for one and changing the game year to 2019 still gave a bonus of a bit more than 1000 points.

It would be interesting to hear from somebody with more knowledge of the points given for a military victory what the max amount of bonus is. I have no idea what the possible highest bonus could be, or even if I'm overlooking something here.

It really doesn't matter does it. At that level it's an endurance test instead of the highest possible points. I'm sure the person would be locked in a rubber room well before 32,000.

Paul, 4 week probably wouldn't be enough

But I would still like to see someone top Ming's.

My hat's off to anyone who toughs it out for a Hall of Fame finish

Can't say I'd ever try - my best diety game (Just Another of the Chinese - multiple puns intended ) is only approacing 600% (only restless tribes) with 5 civs each only with a capitol hanging around to trade with. and many cities even still unirrigated. With as many engineers and freights i need to move every turn and quite a few turns left (1880's) I certainly could make a run at a top 10 finish but i can't see me trying this decade I haven't played it in almost a year. And I don't think i'd send it in since its pretty evident from the city layout near the capitol that when i first started the game I got more than my fair share of advanced tribes

Why do you need a to build a freight every turn? You can just buy them. At this stage of the game, 10% science will earn you all the future techs quick enough... you don't need luxeries set high until the finish, and the rest is just pure cash... Heck, you can't spend it fast enough! Every farmland square you have is less food caravans you need to max the cities out... I'll take the farmland. Production is meaningless at that point.

Yes Ming, partly your right but ...

It's a lot easier if you can skip all the buying stuff, sending the freights around is already hard enough.

Congratulations smilo on such a GREAT NEW HALL OF FAME GAME!!!!!!!!

I can see your point too... because it DOES GET BORING! Which makes your score even that much more impressive!

And I did get your email... I just can't respond right now on my Apoltyon account... I can receive mail, but not send out bound.
So this is in response to your note

I don't know whether to say:
"Congrats!Way to go" or "Why?Are you nuts?"

Either way it shows stubbornness and dedication to the task at hand.

You could almost include this on your resume.

Ming:

Once I was playing a game waiting for the final AI civilization to attack when all of a sudden freight units started to be worth only 200 to 210 coins per unit. I was deep into future techs, say 70 or so. I wonder if that has happened to anyone else.

In case it matters I have the Macintosh version.

Sten Sture,

If you make those coins 1974-1976 vintage I just might take you up on that deal. I'd want it to be a 15yd truck heaping or a 20yd truck level.

I don't normally worry about the point score, but for that incentive I just might consider trying. Let me know when you have the prize assembled.

Yes, it happened to me in the last game. About 100 future techs, Windows version 2.42. I noticed it because three freights in a row made exactly the same cash: 209 gold. I canīt say nothing furthe, because the turn it happened was the last turn before AC. I will check if it happens again.
