State metrics

In Civilisation II the player can gain information about his/her civilisations place in the world using the following mechanisms:

• • periodic reports by historians on technology, happiness, power, size and wealth

  • Top 5 cities list

  • the PowerGRAPH shown when the game finishes

Information should be continually accessible by the player, ranking countries by:

• • size of economy

  • population

  • land area

  • number of people in armed forces

  • military strength (sum of attack values of all units)

  • energy usage (Kardashev scale)

This data should be presented both as a table of numbers and a historic trend graph (as the PowerGRAPH).
