Net worth pointsThey show the current strength of a player. The points are based on the concept "How much are you worth at this moment?". All buildings, research and army is calculated how much they cost in Gold and then are counted towards the points the following way:
Buildings and research are evaluated at their basic prices. If you have high level University and Architecture, you will be paying much less than the basic prices, but the point will stay the same.
The armys cost in gold is multiplied by 2. Therefore the army brings you the most points per spend resources, but it is the riskiest way to gain points if the army is destroyed you lose all of you points. If you disband or colonize, you still lose the points that you had from the army.
All results are divided by 1000 so numbers don't get unnecessary large.
