Military Advisor: The first military report shows how many units of each type
your civilization has in existence currently and is producing.
Click on the screen to open the second page of the report. This page shows the
losses you have inflicted in combat with other civilizations. The losses are shown
by type of unit and civilization. Civilizations are differentiated by their color. For
example, if one of your rivals is the Aztecs, colored yellow, and there is a yellow
“1” in the Ironclad row, this indicates you have destroyed one Aztec Ironclad.
Intelligence Advisor: This report is a summary of information gathered by your
embassies. For each civilization with whom you have established diplomatic
relations, this report presents accurate data on the name of its capital, type of
government, size of treasury, size of military, and diplomatic status with other
civilizations. No information appears for civilizations with whom you have not
established an embassy. (See Diplomats for a discussion of embassies.)
You can learn here which civilizations are at war and which are at peace, and
with whom. You may find it useful to consult this report before attacking another
civilization. For example, if two of your neighbors are at war, you may consider
passing the opportunity to attack one of them yourself. If you do attack, they may
make peace with each other and both attack you. By leaving them at war, you are
free to concentrate on your own progress while they wear each other down.
A second page of information may be called up by clicking on the Info button.
This page reports some additional information regarding the apparent goals of the
civilization’s leader and the technological advances they have made most recently.
Attitude Advisor: This advisor reports the relative happiness of your citizens.
From his survey you can see at a glance the number of happy, content, and
unhappy citizens in each of your cities. This information can be very useful after
changing your tax rates or type of government, because those changes can have a
significant effect on the happiness of your citizens. By reviewing this survey you
can see quickly where you may have to make adjustments in city management to
avoid disorder.
For each of your cities, you see the current population and icons of any city
improvements which help increase the happiness of the people. At the bottom of
the page is a total for the size of your civilization’s population and the
percentages of the total that are happy, content, and unhappy.

completed. Cities are listed from top to bottom in order of when they were
founded or added to your civilization.
