The score graphs viewable by pressing F2 should provide the info you desire, along with the Nation Overview you can get to by pressing F1.

What troubles me about your posting is that your primary evaluation of the game is how good it's histographs are and not about whether the AI is good, or the gameplay, or the depth of the strategies that you can play with, or the variety of units, equipment, and magic.

I have played SE4, and it, IMO, does not compare to Civ or SMAC. I do think that Dom does compare with those classics. The classics are more polished, but that's only to be expected given the size and budgets of the companies that made them.

In summary, if you buy Dom, and give it a fair shake, I think you will find it remaining on your HD for a long, long time.

But don't take my word for it. Play with the demo you downloaded some more. I think it'll grow on you.
