How in the world does that stupid histograph thing work? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Is the power of your civ measured by how thick your color is relative to the others??? I have a doctorate and I still can't figure it out... why not represent it with a graph type that's more common? I've never seen that kind of representation before; it's not intuitive at all.
Also as a side question, if anyone might know: what is that number in the top-right corner of your city's name box? It seems to vary on every turn but I have yet to figure out it's pattern...
Thanks!
Oh BTW, i'm a veteran Deity Civ II player and have the game well in hand on Regent level, but it has been difficult. I'm impressed with the AI so far. Haven't seen anything blatantly stupid.
