Stats such as which nations are close to winning by VP would be VERY nice, if you can manage to extract them from the file. It is so easy to forget going to the right ledger page each and every turn, in order to see whether anybody else is close. (And to remind you that it is a VP game)

Which means that you can lose without expecting it

Of course, I would prefer if the GAME displayed an "You: x/maxVP Strongest enemy: y/maxVP" on the main game display all the time when playing a VP game, or second-best, displayed in line 1 of the monthly progress report, and likewise with dominion or province victory condition, but that is a different issue - and one that would make such games slightly more approachable. Having the enemies progress towards winning conditions hidden away in the second tier of a submenu has always seemed cruel and unusual punishment to me.
