Small Request: View Statistics in game

[winnihym]

Hi, Folks. Enjoyed the AoW series for a long time now (all the way back to the original), but seldom post. Was just playing AoW3, and had a thought. Would it be possible in AoWP to make it so you could view the statistics in game without having to surrender? I often save, then surrender, then take a peek at the statistics to see how much of a hill I have to climb with the other players. I was wondering if that could be made available as part of the game. You wouldn't show who the actual rivals were, but just colored lines indicating where your anonymous rivals were in relation to you for tech progress, land, army strength, etc. I may be the minority of folks who do this, but it doesn't seem like it would be a significant investment in time and effort to provide this information. It wouldn't provide me any serious new information (I already know the number of rivals I have, and I'm not asking for who they are specifically, just general trend data about their progress next to mine). Maybe it could fit into the lore as "well, this planet's resources are being extracted at this rate, and SOMEONE is doing that, so here's that information" or "we know there's a troop buildup, but we don't know where".

Thanks for considering it.

Oh man I just can't remember the term right now, but basically there will be something similar to the Age of Wonders 3 empire quests of the type "be the first to have a city of X population" and stuff and I think on the screen for that you can always see at least who made it first, maybe even who is how far in what?
It's not exactly a point system but maybe it can give you a feeling on where you stand. Again it has it's own name, I just can't think of it right now....

Empire Tasks, I believe.

It is sort of annoying that in AoW3 the AI knows how powerful you are, but you don't.

You can view relative rankings and a graph similar to the one shown at the end of AoW3 sessions once you research an early game surveillance tech in the society tab.

That's a great answer, Lennart! Thanks. Now, of course, comes the question of, if it's part of the surveillance tech tree, can you improve the fidelity of the information through additional research? At any rate, thanks for the answer!

How about falsifying the information that other leaders get? XD

This would be amazing.

I like that! Could be very difficult to implement though.

That would be handy seeing somehow where you're going in the game.

AOW2 was helpful within the diplomacy you could gauge where you were eg, being respectfed, you had above average strength.

Also missed the victory and defeat the old list scroll from AOW2 and 1, it was nice when playing hotseat you both go through the list on each others accomplishments. The winning screen in 3 was a little too vague, couldn't go into detail of kills, losses hero kills and all the rest.
