The main issue for me is what the "natural" function is.
Examples are present on civserver.freeciv.org: I have added
a plot for elapsed time per turn, but it turns out the viewgame.phtml
page doesn't show all the plots, only an explicit selection.
(There are in fact many more plots!)

Expect a fix before midnight.
