Trying to find an existing thread on this, but for the life of me I couldn't find any.
How exactly is the final score computed? The formula at the bottom of the records screen is pretty confusing for me:
100 + max(1,100-days)*difficulty level (1..4)
hero level and completed quests = +2%
I sort of get the first part... so for a 7 day game at impossible you have:
100 + (100-7)*4 = 472
But how does hero level and completed quests factor in? Anyone please give a sample for this? Also please correct the above computation if I misunderstood even the first part.

Never mind, I got it.
For those interested, below are example computations for the default #1 and #10 records:
Marvin (score: 1004)
Day 30; Hard
100 + [(100 - 30) x 3] = 310
Level 27; Quests 85 (total level and quests = 112)
(310 x 2%) x 112 = 6.2 x 112 = 694
310 + 694 = 1004
Luten Vodash (score: 237)
Day 95; Easy
100 + [(100 - 95) x 1] = 105
Level 30; Quests 33 (total level and quests = 63)
(105 x 2%) x 63 = 2.1 x 63 = 132
105 + 132 = 237
The max(1,100-days) is a safeguard for games that take 100 days or more;it takes the higher of the two values, "1" or "100 - days", and uses that for the computation.
