1.3 metaverse scoring

from GalCiv2 Forums
Seeing as entertainment buildings are less powerful in 1.3 it should be harder to get the high populations needed for mega scores on the metaverse. Are there any changes in 1.3 that can be taken advantage of to get higher scores?

High populations per planet are not needed for mega scores. The last game I submitted on 1.2 had no planets with a population over 21 billion, and not a single entertainment building anywhere in my empire.

I figure that 19 billion will be the optimum planet population in 1.3, so overall scores are likely to be reduced slightly, but the same principles apply - micromanage to ensure maximum efficiency in the early turns.

I want to help you but I'm still playing with my old strategy with the 1.2 version,

take care!

What determines you research score? Does it count the # of techs? Is there a bonus to researching all techs? Is there any point to continue spending on research if you have researched all techs?
