build order

[Ken Stevens]

In the interest of helping new players get better at the game, I'm
planning on making a change to the web site that publishes player unit
builds by day for games that have ended. While it's possible to infer
other players build orders through surveillance (both hard and soft)
it feels like this is still revealing a bit more of your individual
strategies than would have otherwise been the case. I hope you're
okay with it--I find it's really neat to see the different build
strategies that different players take.

A lot of similar games allow a complete replay of the events after the game is over.

I think that it would be interesting to have time lapse plots of the tech level, power level, city count, and build rate. Maybe even a time lapse displayed on the small map that shows the expansion of each players territory in different colors. 

Sharing the build order would be helpful for new players. I like to send out my Zep first. If I spot a bit of green, my build plan is different than when I have to go searching for that next island.
