    Why not ask Soren for some map info

    j/k
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God? - Epicurus

      Mapstat tells you total number of land vs. sea tiles, and how many tiles of each type (e.g., grassland, hill, etc.), for the whole map, including black areas.
      The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

        That would be out of bounds, I believe.

        No one is supposed to do anything to gain information which is not available through the game without performing an irreversible action.

        ie, We are not supposed to establish embassies or investigate cities, except in the official game, by the player.

        The MilCalc is a human designed spread sheet. The same results could be obtained by a human using paper, pencil and reports avialable in the game without 'playing ahead' in any way. That is why it was judged to be kosher.

        MapStat would have been judged cheating in the C3DG, from what you have told me.

        /Edit. the term 'human designed spread sheet' is somewhat meaningless, since it is all designed by humans. better to say it is a mathematical aid, like a slide rule.

          OK.

          Still don't get MilCalc. If it's 'kosher,' can someone take ownership?

            I've got a feeling we are on a smallish island anyway.

            You may be right. I hope not.

              What it is is a spreadsheet (or group of them).

              You take data from off the screen, you know city size from map, how many of your units( and type), "This civ has archers", number of cities, civ ranking, etc ... plug the numbers/info in. The spreadsheet assumes a few things and spits out relative military strengths and what you can expect militarily.

              As for ownership? I will not have PTW untill at least X-mas. It looks cumbersome, but I would like to know how good it is.
