5 pts. for each pre-industrial great wonder built by the player.

30 pts bonus if none of your cities are ever sacked by barbarians or captured/razed by AIs.

5 pt. bonus for best culture (compared to other Epics players) in 1000AD
5 pt. bonus for most tiles controlled (compared to Epics players) in 1000AD
15 pt. bonus for Honorable gameplay. (Applies to victors and vanquished alike. See the Epics rules for details on "Honorable" gameplay.)

If you win and you finish up to 50 turns later than the fastest victor, no penalty.
1 pt. PENALTY for EACH turn over 50 turns that you finish behind the fastest victor.

If you lose, your date of defeat will determine if you suffer scoring penalty. Whoever survives the longest while being vanquished will set the benchmark. Any who survive to within 50 turns of the longest-lasting defeated player will suffer no penalty.
1 pt. PENALTY for EACH turn short of coming within 50 turns of the longest surviving loser.

Negative scores may be possible! Some vanquished may even outscore some victors.
