Score

Score is a measure of how much a player has achieved in Polytopia. Points are earned in four categories: Army and Territory, Cities, Monuments and Temples, and Science. Points are lost if a city is captured by an enemy, a building is destroyed, or a unit is killed or disbanded.

The following is a breakdown of how score is calculated.

Army and Territory:

• Units: 5 points per star of a unit's cost. Super units are worth 50 points each. (They have a theoretical cost of 10 stars.)
• Territory: 20 points per tile in the player's territory.
• Exploration: 5 points per explored tile.

Cities:

• Cities: 100 points plus 50 points per level above level 1.
  • Each population gained is worth five points, and upgrading to level 2 gives a 40 point bonus, upgrading to level 3 gives a 35 point bonus, etc. for a total of 50 points per level above level 1.
• Park: 250 points each.

Monuments and Temples:

• Monuments: 400 points each.
• Temples: 100 points plus 50 points per level above level 1.

Science:

• Technology: 100 points per tier of the technology.

Perfection Difficulty Bonus

A difficulty bonus is applied to the final score in the Perfection game mode. This bonus is equal to 100% plus 41% of the natural logarithm of the number of opponents, with an additional 20%, 40%, or 80% if the difficulty level is normal, hard, or crazy, respectively. The maximum difficulty bonus, with 15 crazy-level opponents, is 291%.
