Society Chart
All these parameters are reflected in the society chart at the right side
of the screen. As you select new societal options, you will see various
numbers - some positive, some negative - appearing in this area. The society
chart reflects your overall society modifier and tells you where you're
suffering and where you're showing great progress. The ultimate trick
is to get these numbers as high as possible in the areas that will most
benefit your current situation.
Let's take a look at each element
on the society chart and see how they effect your empire.
