What is your score in random game?

[APCEH]

Just to measure myself up, can you guys post your best scores in custom built scenarios.

I manage to get 1075 after 50 years, is that poor, not to bad or good?

[MadamPresident]

Well custom built scenarios aren't like random games. The writer can give you any random score they want.

Sometimes, writers have scores on different levels so you get more points if you finish earlier or go over the goal etc. But on the whole, scenarios usually don't have a score that really means anything.

Sorry, I meant Random games.

I know that in scenarios you need to accomplish certain goal, but in random game score is everithing.

How else you can judge your reign. Score (in random game) depends on happines of your tropicans, money in treasury, money in Swiss bank etc.

So what I'm sayingis that for us guys who like playing random games needs to be some ladder so we can judge our accomplishments. Not against others but against our previous score.

Well, it depends on the diffuculty your playing the game on.

I can get around 2000 on a map with 124% diffuculty.

[APCEH]

Well, if your score is good, really doesn't matter on what difficulty you played on.

You get your score and then it is multiplied by difficulty setting, so if for example I got 1000 score on difficulty 125 and someone has the same score on difficulty 85 that means that that person collected more points in the game than me (game was easier for him though).

Evenin!

   I know what you're trying to say, but you're still wanting to compare apples to oranges.  (Even tho the difficulty rating percentage multiplier gives the impression of evening things out... )

   What you want to let us know is what dictator you're using.  (Or if it's a modified one, and if so, what attributes are you using.)

   For example, if you have 'Booze Baron' on, you're gonna have a heck of a better score if you go for sugar/rum than someone who doesn't have that on, even tho the difficulty ratings might be the same.  (Yes, I KNOW I'm being Captain Obvious, but work with me here... )

   And I use Lou Bega as my dictator, but the money doesn't roooool in until half way thru, since a big chunk of it is from nightclub residuals.  (You need electricity for the nightclub, and once you have the power plants going, the TV Stations, and the Radio Stations and the Luxury Hotels, and WOO HOO!  THE MONEY ROOOOOLS IN!  Sorry, I digress...)

   With the island that I keep playing (and playing, and playing...), I'm not gonna be happy until I get 2000 points, and I'm running at a 45% difficulty, with a fairly flat island, but the economy and the political stability are on almost full tilt.  (I think the stability is one notch below 'Keep the jet gassed up' and the economic difficulty is maxxed out.)

   And with a different island setup, (higher elevations, more minerals, easier settings, 'kinder' dictator) I could have the exact same difficulty rating, but an easier time...

   Apples and oranges...

   Happy Happy!
