Current Demographics

[Jayne]

Our spies have been poking about a bit more and come up with this:

 

[ainwood]

Very cool! Obviously the AI hasn't got any tribes from huts.

 

[Zwelgje]

We're dumb, 4% literacy...

 

[heliogabalus]

We're dumb, 4% literacy...

Let's see, there are 84 posts in the national registry at the moment - that makes for ca. 75 citizens (substracting for "welcome" and "explanatory" posts).

=> There should be 3 literate people in here. jayne, ainwood, civ1-addict - I can't be literate, then.

I sure hope we improve on this stat, otherwise I will have to continue using "powers beyond my powers" to make words out of these differently painted greyish "stones" on the not-quite-flat-surface before me and sentences (what is that?) out of the words.

To all you illiterates out there: I know you cannot read and comprehend this (you could get one of our sages to read it out for you), but technically I shouldn't be able to write this little tale either. Miracles happen...

We're first on family size. Perhaps that's what we've been doing instead of learning to read!

I wouldn't worry too much about what the demographics mean. For example, our menfolk (and maybe the women too) have to join the army at 15 and spend the rest of their lives there. At the same time, they have to have 6 children each! How all of this works does not bear thinking about.

Demographics are something that I rarely pay attention to as there is usually something that the computer is ahead on.

The AIs being ahead in literacy, at this point, may be a sign they'll be later to monarchy. I'm unsure how literacy is calculated, but I know it's based on a number of techs.

 

[MajorGeneral2]

Certain techs increase literacy. Those are: Alphabet, Writing, and (surprise) Literacy. I think the number of Libraries, Universities, and some other improvements also affect the number. I wouldn't worry too much about any of these demographics, though.

I believe the Mfg = 10 means our Whales are putting out 10 shields per turn, excellent. Our Productivity is highest because of the Whales, Roads, and River -- each city's workers are cranking! And Family Size has something to do with excess food and growth.

Like MajorGeneral2, I'm not worried about this. What I am worried about is: word of riots coming in Regia Civitas. And some people talk of Barbarians!
