    I was wondering what the numbers beside a Civ's name on the bottom right of the main screen represent.

    If I'm playing Germany as an example I see in the box:

    Germany 5.0.3 or Germany 6.2.1.

    These numbers change over time. I can't find a description in the manual, and believe me, I've looked.

    Anyone know?

    Thanks
    :crazyeyes

    The numbers I used were only examples. I was at work when I posted the message, so I didn't have the game running to see if they do add up to 10.

    ANYBODY???? Plz!

    OK, here's the numbers. Say you have a horseman highlighted, and the numbers you see are 5.5.1/2.

    What that means is 50% to science, 50% to happiness, and the 1/2 means your warrior has 1 movement point left of his 2 movement.

    What?? :confused: Unless I'm thinking of some different numbers, those are the unit stats you're referring to.

    Further: Yeah, those are the $$/Science/Lux ratio I believe :)

    Ooops, my bad. OK, yeah, if you see "Chinese Democracy (2.5.3)" that means 20% to science, 50% to happiness and 20% unused. Those 3 numbers should always total 10, yes.

    The Pachyderm is correct on both counts. Two different sets of numbers are being referred to.
