Scoring Question on Victory Type

from Stardock Forums
Why do the Metaverse scores for the same game vary greatly depending on which victory condition you have?

Example - my last game was ~10,000 points with Alliance victory. The alliance victory was submitted with 1 turn left to Final Frontier.

If instead, I allow the Final Frontier to be researched, rather than making the Alliance (on savegame), I only get 4930 MPts...

All other conditions are the same - any reason such a huge difference in score? :notsure:

And if you had a military victory, the score would be higher!

It does seem that other factors enter into the score though.... I'm guessing that the "best" scores would be a military victory under conditions where you could have one through the other means as well (ie, you have almost everything researched, etc?)

Researching lots of technologies boosts your score - more than you get for buying them of the AI.
Building wonders and trade goods increases score.
Playing bigger maps increases score.
Winning quickly increases your score, but you tend to score more for having stuck around to research everything than for winning as soon as possible.
