Have found something like a strategy to achieve quite a high scores (screenshot is about Normal map):

1. Start the level when there are at least 2 ponds, and both of them are in one half of the screen
2. Don't try to farm scores with a population size. It's tempting to puff it up to 25-40, but it means no ability to farm resources. For an instance, I kept it under 8 all the time
3. Farm resources with a "basic strategy": 
   1. divide the map into 2 equally distributed pieces (diagonal line is perfect) by houses to keep pigs out of fields, having all the ponds in one side
   2. grow trees on the no-pond side and grow wheat on the pond side
   3. repeat until you will get ~99 score of wheat and 50+ of seeds & houses. More than 99 is impossible by game design
4.  Max out pig score
   1. distribute houses with citizens uniformly across the map to cover the majority of territory with hunting
   2. bed out trees across all the map
   3. wait until pigs will cover all the map
   4. kill all the pigs in hunting zone
   5. cut down all the trees
5. Max out harvest score
   1. skip until all the free cells are spare
   2. bed out all the "3" cells with wheat
   3. bed out all the "2" cells with wheat
6. Max out lightning score
   1. lightnings are being summoned on the previous step of algorithm? so just skip, skip, skip
   2. at each turn build the house on the most remote from epicentr of fire and occupy it
   3. repeat until you will die

Other ideas to earn more:

1. Try to max out people score by increasing the population to ~40 and immediately decreasing it by controlled starvation. After that come back to basic strategy. The risk that you can summon the lightnings without resources.
2. Control the lightnings by massive trees growing. Cut the trees -> summon -> grow the trees -> chase away. Did it one time, but failed another time
