What causes this and how do I avoid it. What the hell does it mean anyway. Did I kill something i should not have or what. Its not listed anywhere I could find it.

When you choose to customize the map when starting a new game, one of the options is to make the native life rare, average, or abundant. If you choose rare you get a score penalty.

Thanks for clearing that up! But it sucks. I mean, if you change it to abundant, do you get a +25?

Yes. And if you play with the Iron Man rule (you can only quit by saving, which then dumps you to the desktop), your score is doubled!
