wtf is civ7-chronicle?

Chronicle is a mod for the video game Sid Meier's Civilization VII that adds a proper statistics screen to the game. Civilization VII already tracks a lot of historical data while you play, but it rarely shows that data to you, so this mod surfaces it as charts and graphs. The mod adds a Chronicle button in the pause menu, which you can open on any turn, and on the end of game results screen. Clicking it opens a full screen overlay of charts covering categories like research, economy, society, expansion, military, overall score, and world statistics such as buildings, wonders, and settlements. Most stats can be viewed either as a trend line showing how they changed turn by turn, or as a standings bar showing where each civilization ranks right now. There is also a Hall of Fame screen, reachable from the main menu or from the Chronicle overlay, which lists every game the mod has tracked, including win and loss records, stats broken down by leader and civilization, and leaderboards for highest scores and fastest finishes. The charts include every player in the game, including yourself, which the base game's own charts normally hide. You can hover over a point on a chart to see its exact value, and click a civilization's name in the legend to hide or show its line. The mod fills in some statistics the base game never tracks on its own, such as civics progress and net gold per turn. Because the game only keeps detailed history for the current era of play, Chronicle keeps its own separate log so that charts can span the entire game across eras, though this only works for the portions of the game where Chronicle was actually running. This is a UI only mod. It does not change any gameplay rules and does not affect your saved games. It can be installed by subscribing to it on the Steam Workshop, which updates it automatically, or by manually copying its folder into the game's mods directory. It requires nothing beyond the base game itself.
