I agree, documentation and ease of finding information provieded by a encyclopdeia in a 4X game is a miracle for newer players and a handy tool for veterans, thus boosting player retention(for people who originally ignored the genre of 4X games) and at the same time allowing a wider audience to understand the game.

agree, would be a really good thing

Agree with the concept but please be more creative with the actual name of the encyclopedia - please don't make the exact same play on words like civilopedia is. Not everything needs to sound like a total knock-off of civilization. This game gets enough of unjustified insults for being a civ clone as is.

Maybe Endlessopedia? :D
