How do they calc score?
In earlier versions of H3 (like, decades ago), it's quite easy to get ranked as archangel when finishing maps or campaigns. Nowadays I can't get pass behemoth when playing random (in HotA), even though I conquered a huge map in less than 40 days, which I think is pretty outstanding. That leads to the question of how modern H3 calculate score? If the formula is too mathematically difficult to understand, kindly translate it to how I should play a map to maximize score. I notice that my style opts for speed, which means getting enemy towns (& heroes) while bypassing distractions like, say, utopia. Thanks!

For H1-3 its only gameplay time separate for each size. Probably hota creators moved it down.

There was something with number of cities. I forgot the details, it's somewhere here on the forum.

It's definitely somewhere on the forum. I remember reading a while back. What I remember of it, and I could be wrong of course, is that you start with a base score (depending on difficulty) from which you slowly get penalized the longer the game lasts.
On top of the base score, you can get bonuses if you capture all of the cities on the map, all of the mines on the map, and find the grail (I believe you also need to deliver the grail to a city).
What I don't remember at all is what is the base score and how much each bonus adds to your score.
Try searching some of the old threads though, a more complete answer has to be here somewhere.

For SoD formula is known. Can be found, as always, at wiki

Formula for HotA wasn't released.

Thanks, then I'm pretty sure HotA formula is different. In a huge random map, I finished in say 40 days with 15 towns, with grail & ofc genocide. Under SoD scheme, my score should be an off-the-roof 495 (azure?). But in Hota it falls b/w 353 & 355, hence behemoth.
Has anyone scored higher? Let me know.
