Looking at your number of posts, I'm guessing that you are a seasoned player, so I trust your judgement. But, if we wanted to be semi-empirical about it, we could collect data (possibly with the --statfile option, though I haven't tried it) on number of provinces and dominion for each turn, and then fit the data sets as a function of t. This would give the forms for n(t) and r(t).

Of course, this might just tell the experimenter that he needs to improve his n(t) - build more temples.

That actually would be kind of interesting. But the statfile gives no information on the number of temples... But still for an empirical fit...it would be ok.

Ah. But you still would have to adjust for *map* size, too, and density of starting positions...
