stoutfellowMuch as I am enjoying Civilization VI, I have to admit it shares one of the flaws of its predecessors. The scoring system is strongly biased towards Domination victories and against Cultural or Religious victories. I've played six games at the Warlord level (very low, to be sure), and my two highest scores, in the 700s, have been a Domination victory as Harald Hardrada and a Scientific victory as Tomyris. None of the other scores have gotten over 500, and three are in the 300s - two Religious victories (Cleopatra and Hojo) and two Cultural (Pedro II and Teddy Roosevelt), this despite the fact that Hojo and Pedro II completed their victories in the 1700s, while the two high scores came in 1874 and 2014.
I don't think this is deliberate, but total population, number of wonders, and several other late-game biased items contribute to the score. There ought to be a component favoring early victories.
(It's possible, to be sure, that at higher levels it grows more difficult to complete Cultural or Religious victories early, which might mitigate things.)
