What are strategies for maximizing the high score in Super Tribes?
Someone introduced me to the iOS game Super Tribes by Midjiwan. It is a Civilization like turn based strategy game, but with a a limited number of 30 turns and fewer technology and unit options.
I am playing the game in crazy mode with limited turns (30) against two AI opponents and regularly win, with a score around 35.000 every time. By "winning" I mean eliminating all opponents, developing the whole technology tree, discovering the whole map and building as much improvements as possible.
These results however are pretty bad compared with the highscores available (I don’t know if they can be manipulated): Today’s highscore starts at 42.000, this week’s highscore at 49.000 and the all-time highscores start at 63.000 (and goes well over 100.000).
Do I miss some game mechanics here, leading to higher scores than those I currently archive?

With a score of 35k you're a bit over me, but I'll share my tips that got me good scores. You'll probably know most of these already, but here we go.
Start with the desert tribe. The Rider is invaluable at the start. Prioritize your next tech (farming, fishing, hunting, or mining) based on what resource is abundant near you.
I don't know about you, but generally the best strategy seemed to be kill on sight. No mercy. Wipe out the other tribes while they're small. With your next few techs, depending on how the game goes, try aiming for Climbing so you can get those awesome Swordsmen.
In endgame, once you've wiped out the other tribes, you should have 10 to 15 turns left to hunt for points. Focus on hunting/fishing/mining resources. Maxing out the tech trees does net you some extra points, but try instead aiming to harvest everything you can, and continually deploying troops so that all of your cities are full.
It's a matter of luck and balance, you just have to play around and find a good path to take.

How do people score so high Polytopia?
Points are given for every city you have (and upgrading your cities), your territory, monuments, units (5 points per star in unit cost), and Temples. (Vision also gives a small number of points.) The more opponents and the harder the difficulty, the greater the difficulty bonus is.How do you score 50000 in Polytopia?
You will easily get 50k score when you spam water temples and all that stuff on crazy. As Toopa said, play with higher multipliers to increase the score.Polytopia Strategy Guide! Yaddak high score! 3 Stars perfection, 136,000 points!
