SCORING
Whether you resign or win outright, each game is given a numerical score. You
can check your current score at any time with 8, or the Alpha Centauri
Score option on the HQ Menu (see, p. 110).
Your Alpha Centauri Score is computed as follows:
• 1 point for each citizen of each base.
• If you have won a Diplomatic or Economic victory, score 1 point for each
citizen of a Pact Brother’s base.
• 1/2 point for each citizen of any other faction’s base.
• 1/2 point for each citizen of a surrendered base.
• 1 point for each unit of commerce your bases are receiving.
• 1 point for each technology discovered.
• 10 points for each tech advance after Transcendent Thought.
• 25 points for each Secret Project.
• A Victory bonus if you have won the game (see Winning the Game, p. 143):
For winning by Conquest, you are awarded 1000 points minus 2 for every
game turn elapsed. If Cooperative Victory is enabled, all Pact Brothers and
Sisters participate in the win, and points are split between all winning fac-
tions based on relative population. A maximum of three Pact Brothers and
Sisters may join in a win by conquest, not including those factions that have
surrendered along the way.
If you win a Diplomatic Victory, you are awarded 1200 points minus 2 for
every game turn elapsed. If Cooperative Victory is enabled and your Pact
Brother or Sister is elected Supreme Leader, you are awarded half this total.
For Economic Victory, you are awarded 1200 points minus 2 for every game
turn elapsed. If Cooperative Victory is enabled, Pact Brothers and Sisters of
the winning faction receive half the bonus points.
