How much information can we now reasonably expect to obtain from a thorough analysis here? I think we've reached the point where we can no longer have a reasonable estimate for accumulated production and GDP for individual teams, because large unknowns (like Kuche) are making that impossible, especially now that teams are building more cities. We've managed to deduce a good deal (i.e. Camelot is Carthage and will probably beat us to philosophy), but I don't know what we can expect to find out by doing more than just looking at F11 to see if there is anything surprising or interesting.
Basically, I think a round of applause for Chamnix for his excellent analysis is due, but I don't want to see him wasting a lot of effort for very little, if any, gain. It might be a good idea to keep an eye on population and military service, but we can somewhat gauge our power level with opponents once met with F3.

 

[Cyc]

Actually, I find the F11 screen quite useful as the game progresses. The role or source of the information target population that the information applies to changes in a way. It goes from a microscope on your opponents to a wide view of yourself. The information is still there to be used, just used in a different manner. And as you say, one needs to use other screens to bring the information to fruition.

But, I think you're right. That point has probably come where we need to make that change. Especially now that we will be pumping out Settlers quickly.

Chamnix,....

 

[Sparthage]

Yep. Chamnix, great job! I think that you did us a great favor by giving us such detailed reports on the overall situation.

 

[Calis]

Basically it's up to Chamnix, whether he wants to continue or stop his efforts.

 

[Chamnix]

On turn 37, I see our literacy dropped to second place. I believe that means someone completed Philosophy.

I would bet the left hand of my wife that it was the Brotherhood...

That also means they went for literacy as their free tech. They are going to quite advanced with those early libraries and the Great Library if they want it, though I'm not sure how useful that would be right now, seeing as we haven't met anyone yet. The good news is the lighthouse is still in reach if we want it.

 

[Sparthage]

The good news is the lighthouse is still in reach if we want it.

Hmm... there are possibilities.

SUPER DROMON FURY!

Spoiler :

We need a flamethrower smiley.

 

[Bowsling]

I'm not sure about literacy. I'm pretty sure that the 3% bonus comes from philo.

I assume we have 0%?

 

[Cyc]

Hmm, seven turns with no analysis. Should we take another look at this?
