I agree the flags certainly in MBT should be worth a lot more. bothering to adjust them to there max which is still nowhere near in later years is not worth it as very time consuming as all have to be done individually in small increments.
For this I like Weasel & Kiwis (sorry if credited wrong) scoring sheet over at the Blitz as it does 2 things.
Firstly it addresses the spirit of the flags as objectives by giving them a far bigger role in the outcome of the victory, they could be worth zero but you still need them.
Secondly it gives a greater variety to victory types with 9 instead of 5 outcomes.

Not going for the flags because you are going to run into the second line of defence sort of for me takes away the spirit of the game & against the AI is pointless. Taking up position & waiting for it to come to you with little effort to move forward till you have spent several turns destroying in a meeting means you are playing a delay so of course you win. Then go & mop up what flags are safe. I am not saying you should not take up positions but you should also be pushing forward somewhere, it is.

I am not going to post there take on victory outcomes as have not consulted but it can be found at theblitz.org
