Total rival power last turn: 24k
Total rival power now: 31k
Change: 7k
retep's starting techs: Fishing/Mining
WilliamLP's starting techs: Wheel/Mysticism
Oxy's starting techs: Fishing/Agriculture
bandit's starting techs: Agriculture/Hunting
Here's my guess at what's going on:
retep is growing while building a workboat (1k power from growth)
Everyone else has researched Mining (2k power each, 8t tech, they all settled t0) and are probably headed for Bronze Working (explaining the rise in rival average GNP via prereq bonuses).
I spent a fair while scratching my head about how they all researched Hunting before I realized that it was turn 8, not turn 7
