It seems to me that many other AGEOD games have a better way of determining victory, but that is probably due to games like ACW and WIA being generally 2 sided affairs, whereas AJE often has 3 or even 4 sides in a particular scenario.
I just finished a Severan scenario as Clodious and had conquered Didius and Severus quite easily, and got into a late game slug fest with Niger along the Danube and in Greece. By the time the last turn clicked off, I had beaten him most of the time in battle, racked up huge NM points, and of course controlled all of Italy, Spain, Britain, Greece, and Gaul, yet the victory screen gave me a minor victory, with Niger actually slightly ahead in VPs. I don't know, sometimes the scoring system can seem very arbitrary. Like PJJ said, it's often best to just ignore it and look at the map and take everything in consideration in determining whether or not you won.
