The scoring seems to be different.

For Example:
World War II #263220767

Player Team Finish Forces Zones Income Cash Score XP
DeathStar Allies 2nd - - - - -53 +12
Trazorman Axis 1st 49 27 97 99 +80 +132
phantom Allies 2nd - - - - -56 +12
Jacob Axis 1st 48 31 65 70 +82 +132
flymaster Allies 2nd - - - - -53 +12

Why did I get more points that Trazorman when he had less points than me at the time the game ended? He earned 80 points but I earned 82. Not a big difference, but it seems that he should have earned more points than me.

EDIT: I have the spacing for the spreadsheet A-OK but when I post the spacing condenses and does not stay how I have it before posting.

This should really be two posts Jacob.

About the scoring. We have made a further enhancement with the new version. Now, when a game starts, we record all players scores. It is these scores that are used to calculate the point changes at the end of a game. Not their current scores at the end of the game.

This was added to prevent players from point dumping if they knew they were going to lose, etc. Also it allows players to be confident about what sort of stakes are they will be enduring in the game. We feel it is a good addition.

Thank you for your accurate scrutiny, reviews like this help us immensely to ensure things are performing as designed. In this case, fortunately, they appear to be.

As for the video tutorials, please make another post and we will track it for our todo list. We also have a comment to add for it. Thank you.

Thank you for the explanation.

P.S. This post was originally about finding a written explanation of the rules and scoring, but after posting I found the written explanation of the rules hiding in each game, not on the home page as it had been before. I then went back and edited out the portion about the rules but left in the part about the video tutorial because I could still not find it.

P.P.S. A written explanation of scoring should be included in either "Game Rules" or "How to Play".

P.P.P.S. I see you were paying attention when someone pointed out a long time ago that the only way to game the scoring system (besides creating games that are stacked HEAVILY in favor of the game creator) is to embrace losses by expediting their finish and to delay wins
