Am I missing something? can some of the braggers on here be that good?

I think planning goes a long way towards getting a high score. Just think about it this way, the time you spend in combat doesn't count towards the score. If you spend an hour in combat making sure you end the fight with full mana and rage and don't lose anyone, and 7 seconds running to the next fight, you can clear an entire continent in a couple game hours. It's just a matter of spending the time that counts against your score wisely.
