At the bottom of the report is a bar graph indicating how far you have
progressed towards a civilization score of 1,000.
World Map: Also the work of your geography department, this is a map of the
entire known world. Parts of the world you have not discovered are covered and
cannot be seen. In addition, this map is centered on the part of the world that
was visible in the map display. Thus you cannot tell where you are located relative
to the north and south polar boundaries until you discover them.
Spaceships: When you contact your space advisors, they can report the progress
of any spaceship under construction. Select from the menu the civilization whose
spaceship you wish to examine. Your advisors present a picture of the construction
accomplished to date and their assessment of what it can carry, its estimated flight
time, and its success probability.
The space race begins once the Apollo Program Wonder of the World has been
constructed. Thereafter any civilization that has the required technologies may
begin building parts of a space ship.
Once the space race begins, it is important to maintain a watch on the
spaceships of your rivals. You need to assess when they are likely to launch so you
can plan the size of your own ship and its launch date. If you conclude that your
ship construction is too far behind to catch up, it may be necessary to mount a
military campaign to capture the enemy capital. Capturing the enemy capital
destroys a space ship under construction or one already launched.

your civilization in comparison to the others in the world. This information is
