I think that time should be a factor in scoring. If you conquer the world in 100yrs, you should have a scoring bonus in comparison to someone who conquered the world in 200yrs. Of course, this time bonus might be offset by other bonuses or penalties. But time should have some sort of effect on scoring. Otherwise, players would postpone conquering the world until the very end. (like leaving one beseiged enemy city around for the next 500yrs)

Yeah, if the scoring is anything like Civ, the faster you conquer/transcend the greater the score.

I think it should be an option in scoring. I'd like a scoring system comparable to "Conquest of the New World", where you could chose certain factors to effect scoring.
