Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
"Military Service" is kind of a misnomer, then. They're trying to represent something like military efficiency. I.e. you survived the game without spending too much on military.
I had assumed the opposite, that military service increased with the size of your military. i.e., a large military increases the length of time an average citizen would serve.

I think that Military service has somthing to do with the size of the military vs. the total pop.
Don't even bother taking those stats seriously. Ever since Civ I, those types of analysis have only been around to add some flavour. They mean absolutely nothing in terms of the overall game.

which is sad. useful stats are fun.
look @ the civ3 demo game, Reddawg had population charts, and a "World Factbook Entry" was maintained. it was really fun.

The demographics screen truly sucks. We need to be able to see at least the rankings for all nations. And I would say after building an embassy we should see the exact statistics for that nation.
Military service could be better represented as soldiers as a percent of pop, or military spending as a percent of GDP.
I use the screen quite a bit, since it gives me an idea of where my spending and world standing is compared to rest of the civs. I always try to keep my productivity, literacy, and manufacturing at #1. If those stats are not, then I am usually in some kind of trouble that needs to be addressed a.s.a.p.

You're right, only the Population Stat and the Empire Size Stat are true. That's too bad for me, 'cause I am such a guy who truly love such statistics and such guy who want to know everything about his own empire.

shesh I use them during the game for a lot of my buiding plans.
I haven't looked at those figures for 10 years at least, not since Civ I anyway. They make absolutely no difference in my overall game. At least none that I can see.
I look at four figures: land/population/productivity/annual income...from these numbers I recognize what I have to work at. If I'm first in two of them...I'll win for sure
