- Fairness to free players carries 35% of each score, more than any other criterion.
Field notes
The scoring rubric assigns a separate percentage to each of four measures, with fairness to free players weighted most heavily. The Supremacy 1914 review describes a game that continues while the browser is closed, with matches lasting weeks; it also notes that the game sells Goldmark and a premium account. The site says its verdicts are written before the scores are assigned.
