| − | '''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 [[Destroy|destroyed]], or a unit is killed or [[Disband|disbanded]]. |

| − | * New [[cities]]: 100 points (excluding the 180 points from territory) |

||
| − | ** Population (harvesting resources like [[Organization|fruit]] and [[Hunting|game]], building buildings like [[Lumber Hut|Lumber Huts]] and [[Sawmill|Sawmills]], etc.): 5 points per population gained |
||
| − | ** The remainder between the points from population and the total of 50 points for upgrading the city is gained when the city upgrades. |
||
| − | *** Example: upgrading a city to level 2 requires 2 population (which provides 10 points). At the time of the upgrade, another 40 points are gained for the upgrade itself, for a total of 50 points. |

For example, the maximum difficulty with 14 opponents of the crazy difficulty is 308%. |

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:
Science:
- Technology: 100 points per tier of the technology.
