A friend and I just finished a game against England 6, and we're quite pleased with our score of 72 according to the rules included in the manual. Is there any sort of high score table out there that shows what scores people have achieved, against what opponents and using which spirits?
Thanks!
There isn't one, but you could start one.
EDIT
It seams I have red the formula backwards... it is not X point per Dahan but a point for X living Dahan (same formula as in OHG - it makes sense now). I am not sure, if I could work out corrected scores (except for 1 playr game).
I have added 4x to much points for Dahan/Blight ratio for 2 players, 9x for 3 players and 16x for 4 players... But since I don't know how much points I've got for cards remaining in deck, I can't calculate the correct numbers.

Hi,
first time poster :) I have been recording my scores for a while (I own Spirit Island one month now and both my girlfriend and I love it).
I have found that high scores vary a lot between player count, so I keep them separetly ;)
The key is:
Victory/Lose - Points - Difficulty Level (m=thematic map, m+ = thematic map with B&C - Adversary level, Initials for scenario) - Initials of Spirits
1P:
V59 8 (m, Swe3) ASoRG
V59 6 (m, Eng1, GtIH) RSiS
V58 6 (m+, Fr2) SFBtL
V57 8 (m+, Eng3, PLF) KotFW
V56 7 (m+, Swe4) KotFW
V49 5 (m, Pru1) TS
V42 5 (m, Swe1) VSotE
V41 5 (m, Swe1) OHG
V36 3 (m) BoDaN
L22 8 (m, Swe3) SFLF
L23 6 (m+, Fr2) KotFW
L20 7 (m+, Fr2, SW) KotFL
L19 7 (m, Swe2) LSS
L15 6 (m, Eng1) OHG
2P:
V82 6 (m+, Fr2) SFBtL + LSS
V71 7 (m, Eng2) OHG + ASoRG
V69 7 (m, Pru2) BoDaN + RSiS
V60 8 (m, Swe3) OHG + BoDaN
L46 6 (m+, Fr2) RSiS + OHG
L44 6 (m+, Fr2) RSiS + OHG
L43 7 (m+, Fr3, SW) SFLF + KotFW
L38 8 (m+, Fr3) SFBtL + LSS
L33 9 (m, Pru3) SFLF + RSiS
L27 9 (m, Pru3) OHG + TS
L26 6 (m+, Fr2) KotFW + OHG
L25 8 (m, Swe3) VSotE + SFLF
L17 7 (m, Pru2) LSS + SFLF
3P:

Thank you for your contribution!
The scoring rules seem like they scale per number of players in the game, so I don't think that should affect the end score that much, I think. I'm especially curious how you got to 120 points - at difficulty 7, by my understanding, that would be:
35 points for difficulty
+10 for winning
+2 per invader card remaining in the deck; if you won very very early, say with all the stage 2 and 3 cards left in the deck, that would get you 9*2 = 18 points
that's 63 points, and then some minor amount of top of that for surviving natives, and minuses for blight; even with 0 blight on the island, and double the starting amount of natives, that would only get you 12 points on top. Am I missing something?
These are our best scores, all of which were played two players on the standard 2-player map:
England 6:
50 (difficulty)
10 (winning)
12 (invader cards remaining)
5 (surviving natives)
-3 (blight)
74 points (played with Ocean and Lightning)
Prussia 6:
50 (difficulty)
+10 (winning)
+6 (invader cards remaining)
+5 (surviving natives)
-3 (6 blight)
68 points (played with Ocean and Thunderspeaker)
France 5
Difficulty: 45
+10 (winning)
+10 (invader cards remaining)
+6 (surviving natives)
-5 (11 blight)
65 points (Played with Keeper and Wildfire)
Sweden 6:
40 difficulty
+10 (winning)
+6 (invader cards remaining)
+6 (surviving natives)
-2 (5 blight on the island)
60 points (played with Earth and Green)
It is +X per living Dahan and -X per Blight, where X is number of players. I don't record my scores in any more details, but following your example:
35 for difficullty + 10 for winning + 10 points for cards (probably a little more) = 55
That leaves us 65 to get - it means, we had 16 more Dahan than Blight (16x4=64) (probably a little less, but x4 factor means a lot)
64+55=119
Now... I am not sure, how did I get odd number...
EDIT
Additionally, I play exclusevly on thematic map - and it has a lot of Dahan.
EDIT 2
It seams I have red the formula backwards... it is not X point per Dahan but a point for X living Dahan (same formula as in OHG - it makes sense now). I am not sure, if I could work out corrected scores (except for 1 playr game).
I have added 4x to much points for Dahan/Blight ratio for 2 players, 9x for 3 players and 16x for 4 players... But since I don't know how much points I've got for cards remaining in deck, I can't calculate the correct numbers.
