I hate those score wins. Game ends just when things are getting interesting. The best victory condition I've seen is in Fyron's Adamant game: When it seems right to end the game.

Btw, is there the score win option in NGC4?

Nope.
The win condition in NGC4 is only "When all agree upon a winner (Or team of two as
winners)" (All players left agree!)

Yep, that's the best way.

I learned my lesson with score victories.

To whomever took over my Trandosian empire in NGC3, how did you fair in the game? I started out with a couple of good ruin planets and no close enemies, but with None atmosphere, I had somewhat bad luck in the beginning with not too many planets to colonize. Unfortunately, I was forced to bail out (due to real life time constraints) somewhere around turn 80 just as my neighbors were starting to poke at me to test the borders. I'd really like any feedback on how well or how terrible you thought my empire setup and initial expansion was.

[edit: grammar]
