Village Score
The most important Score to measure your Team's progress is the Village Score. The Village Score is simple to calculate, but takes many things into account for a holistic picture of the grandiosity of your Village. The Village Score combines 1) the Population, 2) the Happiness, and 3) the Technology Levels of your Village. Every time new Refugees arrive, the Technology Level Score is calculated for every Technology Level separately and for the Village as a whole. The summation of all Technology Level Scores is the Village Score.
Peak Score: For the BEST Leaderboards, the peak score reached at any point in time during the Round will count for each score. So, if you build a large Dirt Village at Level 1 and then demolish all of your Dirt houses later to make room, your Peak Technology Level 1 Score will be saved. Similarly, if you don't build a large Dirt, Wood, or other Village at a given Technology Level you could always go back later and build up these structures if you wanted to boost your score for that particularly Technology Level.
Pro tip: It pays to invest a bit to build a good Village at each Technology Level, as once you move on to the next level it will generally be better to keep expanding at more advanced levels than to go backwards.
Technology Level X Score = Population living at the Tech Level * Happiness of villagers living at the Tech Level * X
Village Score = Summation of Technology Level 1-8 Scores
Examples:
- If you have 1 Villager living at Level 1 (Dirt house) with a Happiness of 1, then your scores will be:
Tech Level 1 Score = 1 x 1 x 1 = 1.
Your Tech Level 2-8 Scores all = 0
Village Score = 1.
- If you have 10 Villagers living at Level 2 (Wood houses) with an average Happiness of 1.25 and 20 Villagers living at Level 4 (Polexiglas houses) with an average Happiness of 1.0, then your scores will be:
Tech Level 1 Score = 0.
Tech Level 2 Score = 10 x 1.25 x 2 = 25.
Tech Level 3 Score = 0.
Tech Level 4 Score = 20 x 1.0 x 4 = 80.
Your Tech Level 5-8 Scores all = 0.
Village Score = 25 + 80 = 105.
