I truly hope the score graphs are fixed soon.

The loss of functionality from Dominions_2 is quite noticeable.

First anytime an opponent is killed their entire graph history vanishes... thus making it impossible to review the overall history during middle, late and end of the game.

Second if a computer or human opponent wins the game from a victory condition then all human opponents are deleted from the graph history! Making it again impossible to review how you as a human were doing during the game.

It's actually quite sad the graphs provide LESS than what the Dominions_2 graphs provided.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Looking back at the graphs and seeing the major events at the end of a game is fun. Or was fun.

Not to downplay this but there is a crappy alternative.
--scoredump will create an html file of the scoreboard information. Of course if you want historical info then you need to set up the --preexec to rotate the copies. Its something I do for most of the games I host.

But I do wish there was an easy way to get a screenshot of the scoreboards each turn since I like the graph better. However if someone with a background wants to tackle
--scoredump, to import into spreadsheet, to graphing package
then we could have a nice feature there.

technical term meaning "I could get it to work but it would be more time
and trouble than its worth"
