The final score for an individual scenario depends on the map difficulty, its size, and the number of days spent completing it. It can be computed using the following formulae:
| Points = 200 − [N * K] | at [N * K] from 1 to 60 |
| Points = [170 − [N * K] /2] | at [N * K] from 61 to 120 |
| Points = [140 − [N * K] /4] | at [N * K] from 121 to 360 |
| Points = max(20, [95 − [N * K] /8]) | at [N * K] > 360 |
| Score = [Points * Rating] | |
... where:
- [] — rounding down;
- N — number of days spent completing the map;
- K — coefficient depending on the size of the map. K = 1.4 for S (36x36), K = 1.0 for M (72x72), K = 0.8 for L (108x108), K = 0.6 for XL (144x144);
- Points — number of points received for completing the scenario;
- Rating — scenario rating shown at start. The maximum value is 2.2 (220%), the minimum value is 0.5 (50%);
- Score — final score.
Thus, Rating depends on the map difficulty and starting conditions. For a regular map and at regular difficulty, it's 100%. Map difficulty and game difficulty modifiers then change this value independently. The following table summarizes the calculation of Rating:
| Game difficulty—> | Easy, −30% | Normal | Hard, +20% | Expert, +40% | Impossible, +60% |
| Map difficulty: | |||||
| Easy, −20% | 50% | 80% | 100% | 120% | 140% |
| Normal | 70% | 100% | 120% | 140% | 160% |
| Hard, +20% | 90% | 120% | 140% | 160% | 180% |
| Expert, +60% | 130% | 160% | 180% | 200% | 220% |
The final score is then assigned a "creature rank", with stronger creatures corresponding to higher scores. For campaigns, there is no final score and instead the "creature rank" is assigned based on how many days it took to complete the campaign; stronger creatures corresponding to fewer days. The following table summarizes this:
| Scenario score | Campaign days | Creature rank | Scenario score | Campaign days | Creature rank | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The maximum final score for a scenario is 440 (2.2 * 200), and the minimum is 10 (0.5 * 20)... so in practice you won't see either a goblin or a peasant in the 'Standard' high score table. However, in the 'Campaign' high score table you just might, if you take an extremely long time to complete a campaign!
