What are the values of score for different actions
What is the score amount for each action?
I am asking this in context of the score victory, and the "best score in the first 25 turns" achievement. I used to think that expanding to a new region gave the most score but I think I am mistaken since expanding 8 times in 25 turns didn't give me the score lead.
Some actions that probably have a score value : research, making a unit, expanding. There is probably a file in the game programming that details all this but I was not able to find it.

The scores for various actions are available in the install location. For the future I found this in the folder ....\Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Legend\Public\Statistics and Achievements\, on Windows. The file is GameScoreDefinitions.xml. The overall score seems to be a weighted sum, which means you multiply the weight by the value. E.g: Knowing 3 technologies is worth 3*5.0 = 15 points towards overall score. Data in the file listed below.
<GameScoreDefinition Name="GlobalScore" Tags="Global,Ranked">
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="SumOfAllUnitsLevels" Weight="2.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="SumOfAllHeroesLevels" Weight="5.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="NumberOfCities" Weight="5.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="NumberOfDistricts" Weight="2.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="NumberOfLevel1Districts" Weight="5.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="NumberOfLevel2Districts" Weight="10.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="TotalPopulation" Weight="3.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="NumberOfImprovements" Weight="1.0"/>
<WeighedGameStatisticReference Name="NumberOfTechnologies" Weight="5.0"/>
</GameScoreDefinition>
