Oy! Why oh why is there no "State" column in the Pop overview page...?

Despite the vast quantity of info in the ledger, it seems to be arranged in such a way that half the time it doesn't tell me what I need to know. If they would just insert a column in the Population Overview page that let you sort the info by state, that would solve much of the problem...

Still... Despite the fact that I got Rome today, I still can't tear myself away from my Ricky campaign...

Hardly surprising. Victoria is the master of all strategy games.

... which makes me wonder again... Why does Revolutions get no icon..? Give us an icon!

 

[OHgamer]

icons for forumites were developed in wake of registering games. Since one does not have to register their copy of Revolutions (AFAIK), there is no need for an icon.

Though there is a Revolutions icon........for those who were involved in the beta testing. One of the rarer icons you'll see on these forums.

As for the lack of states listinging on the POP ledger, where would one exactly shoehorn it in, that page is probably the most full of data of them all, and one would not want to remove any of the data already included.

Anyways, it's good practice for your Geography 101 to learn which provinces are in which states.

But the provinces that are members of a state, is not constant (at least not in VIP ).

Anyway, sorting the population page to a single state does seem somewhat usefull. (But then, sorting by varius factors ie. first by state then by type would be even better...)

they are constant in non-VIP, since which state a province is part of is set in the province.csv file. So a province will be in the same state for the entire game.

Now, this info can be overwritten in a nation's .inc file at the start of a scenario, which is something VIP does in many areas, but once another nation takes over that province, it will revert back to its default state as listed in province.csv

? But the way the ledger is now, you can't even use the PoP overview screen to tell you, say, how many Capitalists are each state (and which state they're in). And such a column could easily be squeezed in by slimming the font (which could use slimming).

on p. 6 of the ledger??

the font is already really small. I almost need a magnifier to read it.

If they squeeze it any smaller, I'll not be able to make it out.

Mind you, I'm almost 37, but its hard to read the font even with my newest eyeglasses.

You do know that you can sort the columns of the page like you would an excel page - click at the top heading for the column with all the work groups, and they will sort alphabetically by work classification type, putting all your capis together in one group.

Similarly you can organize the page to show POPs largest to smalles, highest MIL growth rate to lowest, province they live in alphabetically, etc.

No... Page 6 has great info, but you can only sort by province; there's no state info at all

that's the issue, there's no room for it, that would keep the page legible for those of us born before 1978

Not sure what it would add to have province and state, if you know the province then you know the state, or can at least look it up on the province management screen (p.10 IIRC)
