Usuall is that from 10 players 8 want to play and 2 to watch. And in
some games we had more spectators than players. And as spectator you
sometimes wants to have more information. Especially when watching a
teamgame or duell, (who has more/which techs).

And sometimes there are people who come late and want to see the rest of
the game to say the players that they want to play another game or enjoy
the big battles.
