My problem is with the kingdom report panel. Why is it that you can sift through information on your rivals, seeing all their stats from how much of each type of resource they have, to whom they met, what techs they have etc, without ever having even met them? This ruins the game frankly. You can simply look at the page and have a good idea of whom can do what and you dont have to do anything. If the programing and usability of a complicated espionage system is too hard for the AI to use, then at the various least before giving out all the oppositions vital statistics at least require a "spy unit" or something be present in their cities or have a line of sight on their buildings. Just giving out this information removes all thought from any of it. It was a gross design flaw in Galactic Civilizations II and its expansions. Please, please, please, pretty with sugar and a cherry on top, correct this.
