Probably a little off-topic but does information grow stale? That is to say if you make contact with Persia in 1550 do you continue to get updated as to happenings there, or only if you have active contact with them?

From the moment when you are informed of the existence of a nation, you are informed of the significant events which occur there though you do.

If you play without pausing regularly, it is already hard enough to follow the evolution of your country/Empire that you don't pay much attention to various messages coming from far away...

But as said above, just make a pause and scroll back the log and you will get loads of info about what happened in those far away (and sometimes not so far away)countries.

Going back to the ledger. It is indeed useful once you have taken time to see what's in it (thanks Greven) and you know exactly what kind of info you need. Remember, if you don't pause, the things gets going while you are reading nice graphics and spreadsheets...

It does?? Oh God in heaven ! I always thought it paused automatically.
Was I lucky then because nothing special ever happened when I were 'away'.
