	Funny Screenshot... Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I consult the F11 Demographics page regularly to check how I am doing, looking mostly at the population, production and GNP categories.
But in this particular game the life expectancy figure got my attention...

Anybody seen this before? I think in RL the japanese women are fist with ~85 years.
BTW, this is early Industrial era shortly after the discovery of Sanitation. I have built hospitals in about 90% of my cities very recently. I am speculating that this number comes from this, combined with a rather small population still (cities are sizes12-14)...

Just thought I would share this minute detail with everybody...

Once you have the sanitation tech and start building hospitals, the life expectancy goes up and up. It stops at 99 years. But look at the family size. That's got to hurt!

99 year old...21 children!!!
All right, I am clearly outclassed here...
So it seems it's pretty common to have these incredible numbers, right?
What is really funny is that the life expectancy of your population steadily drops from its high in ~1500-1700AD to the modern era...

BTW, how is the family size figure calculated?
Does it have anything to do with the amount of excess food you are producing at that particular time?

Well, maybe their idea of a family is 1 man and 7 women , in that case 21 kids is nothing.

Boredom isn't an issue, wasting time is. The problem lies in putting down the book, or switching from this forum back to the game without letting the game sit idle. Yeah! I make the game wait on ME! (That'll teach it...)
