What do YOU want from the Information Office?

[Provolution]

Sucha, good you push them to make this look more like a real government simulation.
Thumbs up. Maybe we get real budgets too.

 

[TimBentley]

the info office should be less concerned about trasferring data from the game to us in a more user friendly way, and more about info that cannot be seen by simply loading up the save.

Note that the consuls or directors should include info that can be found by simply loading up the save (both for those without Conquests and for those who don't want to load the save just to know what's going on in the game).

Will information count as a good answer?

Yes! And good for a laugh on a day when it's needed. Thanks!

Summary of requests for the Information Office

• 3d version of stats Very probable
• Battle Stats for each named unit Very dependant on DP's to give that info - no guarantees.
• Stats for each elected official Possible - would love to see the leaders do this on their own
  • Military: Battle stats
  • Commerce: Economy
• Screenshots Can do - direct requests for maps to Cartographical Society
• Current tech being researched, and time to complete Should be done by Director
• Cash and GPT Should be done by Director. Long term trends will be on graph, so will be there
• Slider settings Should be done by Director.
• Wonders Some aspects should be by Director, but the full tracking is a good idea
• Victory Condition Info Hmmm, that would be an interesting screen shot - very probable
• Mid-term approval rating polls Probable. Would have to be private though. Some prospects for bad things
• GPT average The plan is to produce a graph with points from the end of each session to show trending
• Sci output As above.
• GPT/Sci on a per-term basis Very interesting - will have to play with this

List of citizens that have volunteered to help out:

• Ravensfire
• Double Stack
• donsig

Time permitting (and it hasn't been kind of late), I hope to put up the skeleton 411 (quick number for information, for those that are scratching their head) thread tonight. The plan is 5-6 posts for the continually updated summary information. All other requests will be posted as we get them.

An idea just popped into my head: the F11 screen.

 

[Sucha_Soorma]

i'll give you a hand if u need, its late here so tomorrow i will make a nice summary/plan of the ideas that i have, and how they could be implemented, and how i can help.

Great proposal Ravensfire, finally someone bringing in the Stats.

You can look back at the History Office from DG1 and 2 to see how those stats went. (a ton of stats, BTW).

 

[Strider]

Just thought of another thing I'd want:

Our Top 5 Culture Cities w/ total culture
Our Top 5 Production Cities w/ total shields (most shields non-corrupted)
Our Top 5 commerce Cities w/ total commerce (most commerce non-corrupted)

Possibly a Big Mac every time I visit, but I think that is generally out of the question.

Pretty cool idea, Strider.

Scratch version 1 of these remarks. Pending further thought, I'm going to try to do just exactly this. Except for the Big Mac - I'm a Quarter-Pounder w/ Cheese kinda guy.

Big Mac - that's from the cafeteria at my office! (translation - McD within walking distance)

Keep 'em coming!

Could we have one thread devoted to game play session summaries?

 

[blackheart]

Can we have stats in an understandable format. That is, less of the long display of numbers and some interpretive values?

 

[TimBentley]

Could we have one thread devoted to game play session summaries?

I believe this thread is for this purpose, although DaveShack hasn't updated it for the recently completed turnchat yet.
