Hi everyone.
This has probably been covered somewhere and analyzed to death, but I don't understand how the power ratio works. I've looked in the strategy guides and on quite a few threads and I can't find any info on it. It's in the BUG mod help file, but it isn't explained.
I don't want to rehash this subject in this thread because it'll probably bore everyone silly, but could someone please point me to a thread and/or strategy article that explains what the power ratio is, and how it works?
Thanks.

From this article (http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy/demographics.php), it says that the Power graph represents the number of "Soldiers" (not just actual units) on a particular turn. This "Soldiers" metric includes units, technologies, city improvements, and population points related to military.

Thanks, Ginger_Ale, I missed this one. If I understand this correctly, the "power ratio" represents the relationship of my soldiers vs. my neighbor's (enemy's) soldiers as a ratio. The higher the number, the more powerful my neighbor is compared to me? Or is it the other way around?

The ratio, as displayed for the BUG mod, is your power to their power. Thus, a higher number means that you have more power than them. When the number is less than one, it means that your power is just a fraction of theirs. You want large numbers. ;)

I grok it now. That's exactly what I wanted to know.
Thanks a bunch.:)
