Later on we'll just name UnOrthOdOx as the President of this term to make it look better - Prez UnOrthO had a high approval rating and unfortunately his deputy MrWIA had to take over, which resulted in a drop in approval.

Why, why, WHY?

Oh, no. You should know as well as anyone, I would have been perfectly happy to stay in the background. I have no desire to become the President. We'll just show how you ran us into the ground.

Or maybe they like my smilie better than your 007...

Aro, for the most part the things you ask are insanely difficult. It took about 2 hours to gather data, calculate, and post, and add charts. Which in a day when I'm at school 9-3 and work 3-5, it's kinda tough. I'll think about it some, but I can't promise anything. :-\ If you haven't noticed though, the stats have expanded each time lol. My next goal is to estimate other nations' land area, and also get true density stats.

Yes, I know... I was just thinking loud and theorizing a little... just acting as normal people do: Hey, gimme more, more and more!

Hey, I have a question and this seems like a good place to ask it. Say we have a city like Del Monte which is culturally mixed. If we were to build a worker there would the pop cost for that unit automatically come from the foreign group in the city?

[UnOrthOdOx]

Ah. Duddha. I believe it does. I have used that to rapidly convert towns before. Especially under Despotism or Communism. Take a size 5 town, Pop rush a settler, takes it down to 2 citizens. Now, JOIN the city with that settler...poof. Size 4 city, 1/2 pop is yours. I don't know if you can rinse/repeat till no more foreigners or not.

I think it's random. It is possible to get a worker (or, if there were enough Yanks, settler) of either nationality in Del Monte.

[UnOrthOdOx]

I have NEVER PRODUCED a settler or worker of a different nationality. The new unit is created, and has YOUR nationality. It may be random in what 2 citizens it USES to create that unit, though. I don't normally repeat the process, but I will try to experiment tonight sometime.

Impressive as ever Reddawg. I like the graphics too

(btw, shameless plug for my economy website. I just updated it, and it has all the economic information you may need. Plus, I just relooked the archives page )

[Reddawg]

It is definitely random; a way to explain it is this: workers/settlers created at volunteers and thus only people of your nationality will volunteer. If foreigners volunteer than it's basically like those foreigners have decided to join your culture. And this is also why slaves are always a different nationality.

;-)

Thanks everyone for the comments, I hope it all helps and that the stats are interesting.
By the way, how are you regional directors feeling? Mingapulco is absolutely kicking ass in all fronts, and no longer just because of Apolyton.

[UnOrthOdOx]

But you can 'force' a totally foreign city into producing a settler, thus making those two citizens your nationality, because you cannot produce slaves.

I am not sure that it is Random, either, though. I could swear that it goes oldest citizen's first...

Thanks once again Redd. And for the chart, that is helpful.

One thought. I presume that the "ranking" rating is on the same scale as productivity. As you can see one is increasing rapidly the other is static (Maybe increasing slightly, its hard to tell). As time goes on & productivity increases, the gap will widen & no matter how big a change in ranking.

But you can have different scale - I would suggest 1 ranking point for every 5, 10 or 20 increase in productivity to start with.

Proserpine, I know, thx for pointing it out. I don't think I'll make that same graph again, so. It was just a last minute thing. I think next time it'll be a land area or population density graph.

[Panag]

hi ,

great

lets hope we can alter those numbers a bit in to our advantage , ....

have a nice day

[Hagbart]

It was good to get an overview of the nation (I just joined). We need to get more cities!

[Reddawg]

^bumping topic up^

just wanna make sure everyone gets a last good look at these stats. it'll be a week minimum before the next full stats are out.

You're welcome, keep up the good work
