Extra statistic needed in statistic panel

It's early in my new game when I open the statistics panel to see how my civilization ranks compared to the others. I see curious numbers;

Population 5th
Economy 4th
Military 5th
Technology 5th
Morale 5th
Popularity 6th
Treasury 6th
Influence 5th
Production 2nd

Overall 1st

Now it would seem to be obvious that given the paucity of all my other stats, having an overall stat of '1st' would be a bit odd. In fact it is not. What is not reflected in the listed stats is something the program is no doubt taking into account so as to determine the final 'overall' score. That something likely is total number of planets. I have an extremely aggressive colony expansion strategy for early in the game and there is no doubt that I have significantly more planets than any other race in the game.

Both because 'Planets' is a statistic that is calculated so as to determine the overall score and because the lack of it can make the final score rather bizarre, I would recommend it's inclusion here.

And need I say, "Fantastic game!" I am not easily impressed with games, having bought several hundred over the last 25 years. I've been quite obsessively hooked for the last week now.

Have you discovered any other races? It could be that the stats show how you rank amoung all races but the overall show how you rank amoung the races you have met.

I had the same problem in 1.01a. I would be completely dominating the game on all fronts but consistantly be ranked 5th or 6th.

The reload recap would also insist I was falling behind technologically despite having many more techs than any other empire in the game.
