Scenario: The aim of this game is to WIN. To that end, I've set the difficulty level to 'Prince'. Now, because that might be a touch dull, I've based the map on my own mapscript and also introducted a twisted scoring mechanism. Basically ... "How many different ways can you win?" This is a scored event (see below) and winning in multiple ways pays off.

Scoring: Your score is equal to your Firaxis score (see below) times a multiplier. Your multiplier is based on the number of victory conditions (call it 'n') you satisfy on the turn that you first satisfy any victory condition. Your multiplier is equal to n ^ 2.

So, the multiplier is:
You satisfy 1 victory condition, then multiplier = 1
You satisfy 2 victory conditions, then multiplier = 4
You satisfy 3 victory conditions, then multiplier = 9
You satisfy 4 victory conditions, then multiplier = 16
You satisfy 5 victory conditions, then multiplier = 25
You satisfy 6 victory conditions, then multiplier = 36
You satisfy 7 victory conditions, then multiplier = 49

Just to remind you, the victory conditions are: Time, Conquest, Domination, UN Diplomatic, AP Diplomatic, Space, Culture

Note: Playing on after you satisfy the first victory condition will have no impact on your multipler. To get a multiplier higher than 1, you must achieve your multiple victories (and show evidence of such) on the same turn (eg exceed the domination limits on the same turn you finish killing off the other leaders).

About the Firaxis score:
The Firaxis score is the score that you get at the end of the game. When you are shown the 'Your Place in History' page (see below), the Firaxis score is the score that you are judged by ... the 1056 in the picture. You can determine that in-game by hovering the mouse over your own score in the scoreboard. The blue bordered pop-up will display on the bottom left showing you the current Firaxis score if you finished on the current round.

Closing Day: Monday, March 17. Reports due by the end of March 18, your local time.
