For an experiment, I just spammed my way through a game (zooming through the combat) -- still took about 45 minutes, though, as there are a lot of turns. Scored 505,300. I shouldn't really be able to do that. I set up the basic buildings then just clicked end turn, end turn repeatedly until my population was reduced to about 20ish then just corrected one side's resource problems if it looked like they were dwindling. Very little thought was put into it at all. I think military are too weak, hardly lost any buildings I don't think. Not that I noticed, anyway.
