According to the manual:
At the end of each mission you are given a score based on
-how quickly you complete the mission
-your ratings
-the size of your population
-the amount of money you have
-monuments completed
-difficulty level
Now, having said that, I dont know how each of these factors are weighted to compute the score. As we play more and become familiar with the game, there will be more to add to this subject, I am sure. We have a lot of analytical players that will find this a challenge to decipher
