What are those little numbers?

Hello--

I can't find the answer to this anywhere-- FAQ, manual, anywhere.

In the INFO box (shown on pg. 167) of the manual, you know the one, it's down on the lower right of the gameplay screen, and it has things like the name and nationality of the currently selected unit, its A/D/M numbers, how many movement points it has left, the date, what advance you are working on, etc.

Well, after applying the 1.29f patch, there are 3 more numbers in there and I don't know what they are.

It lists these 3 numbers right after it gives my civ name and govenment type. For example:

Roman Despotism 2.8.0

What the heck does the 2.8.0 mean?

Those are your tax rate, science rate, and luxury rate, but probably not in that order.

Well, maybe that's right. Look on the domestic advisor screen up on the top right, where you change them, back and forth, applying your happiness to your people.

Or whip them into it.

[Raion]

Or let the city burn, see what happens, see if they revolt or join another Civ. The heck with 'em.

tax, science, luxury rate, in that order

Ah, yes. Thanks very much, both of you!

Thank you Tuberski--

I tried searching, but I didn't know what terms to search for, since I didn't know what the numbers were. I tried "little numbers" heh-- but that didn't yield anything but too many messages to read.
