The F6 screen
 

OK, playing my first game now... The game looks nice. Some annoying features (no automatic boarding of ships in Europe, etc.), but overall it seems really like a nice game.

Question:
On the F6 screen I see myself accumulating Political, Exploration, Trade, Religion and Military points.

What are the factors influencing this accumulation of points?

Political: Liberty bells, building PolPoints in colony ?
Exploration: Exploring land and ocean ?
Trade: Buying and selling goods ?
Religion: Cross production ?
Military: Combat ?

Can you add a screenie?

Check Civilopedia > Game Concepts > Founding Fathers

Roger that. Imvho this game is much about specialization (in SP). Political seems to be needed for about everything and you could consider one city to build just that at some time.

Yeah, if you want the king to have a large expeditionary force that'd be the way to go.

ah, well he'll get that large REF anyways in this version it seems. But that's all hearsay for me ofc, cause my frigging gameshop are a bunch of laggards
