victory and Glory Points

[Titanwarrior89]

Playing a game against the AI(I am the Brits). The Austrians win it and the victory screen comes up(nice screen by the way) but I pick the choice of continuing the game.

So when the game continues why does Austria show only 957 points? Why not 1k plus?

Does the game go until 1820 and the highest glory pts win?(my game started in 1792).

Continuing the game just lets you play beyond the victory, there is no other victory; Glory doesn't really mean anything beyond that point.  It may not have tallied the final glory properly since the "winning the game" code does bypass some of the end-turn code.  Does glory continue to tally properly behind that point though?

Thanks for the answer. If this is the case wouldn't it be hard then to complete a campaign-let's say such as 1805-1815 without it always finishing early?

You can also set the victory conditions (using the "Victory Conditions" button in the Setup Local Game screen) to highest glory to play for highest glory at the end of a period of time rather than play for a race to a certain level of glory.
