... a gauge of how many of your civvies have access to EACH of the education improvements, including Research Lab. If you've only researched up through Libraries, it isn't going to be a large figure.

Military service is 10*(total population points)/(total military units), in years.

Family size is (total excess food)/(2*#of cities), minimum of 1.

Edit: It's possible, BTW, to have a military service figure larger than the Life Expectancy figure, actually (try a Mass Regicide game).

Um, shouldn't that be 10*military units/ total pop? The more pop per military unit, the smaller the service. The more military units the higher the service.

I've always known the Family size formula was broken, thank you Vlad for showing why. Anyone who knows anything about demographics knows that it takes 2 children just to maintain ZPG. Therefore, a +2 factor should be added, and should be broken down into tenths.

If you're going to have demographics in the game, get 'em right!

Two to maintain considering there is exactly a 1:1 ratio between men and women (women are actually slightly higher) and EVERYONE is married.

is being married really necessary? Actually a ratio of one man to 100 women would be better for reproduction rate.

hmm... technically.. if the man had intercourse everynight with a different woman and each night he made that woman pregnant... he'd need a lot more women... would be more than10-12 months before he'd get back to the first one...

He'd need about 350 women. I'd be satisfied with 100, though.

and for fun ... or absolute horror.

btw the literacy stat is not bad, if I am 2nd or 3rd, I know I must start some wars, because the scientific civs are beginning to pull away.

Actually, no. To be correct, it says "FAMILY size".

"He'd need about 350 women. I'd be satisfied with 100, though. "

100 wisconsin women=350 normal women
