Score really doesn't matter and here's why...

[Heavyarms]

You can possibly have a low score, but your opponent is the best at economy, and still win. I was in my comp bout, and my score was about 350 points under its hen I attack. Well, that quickly changed as soon as I killed it. Sometimes score isn't everything.

Other things can change the score for the better that by themselves are subtle but all together can amount to a lot of points.

 

1.) Every farm is 6 points.

2.) Map exploration brings it in 1 point per little square

3.) Trade

4.) As AU_heavyarms said that the amount of resources does

count a lot.

If you play against the CPU, your score matters alot. The person with the largest score will be targeted by the CPU 9 out of 10 times. What's worse, after you starting defending yourself and killing them, your score just goes up that much more.

Ya, I was playing against my friend, and I had tons more military points then he did. We had to quit so he had the higher score because he had more resources. He wouldn't admit that I could've beaten him had we not quit.

when your opponent is down by almost 1000 points and you are still quickly gaining points on them, thats when is starts to matter. the first 10 mins into a game is where score means abousolutly nothing, but with a higher score your opponent may become intimidated.
