[1.11.01] (open beta) Fluctuating victory score for Nemesis

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature.

We play 4-player PBEM with Nemesis. I noticed that Nemesis' victory score is changing from round to round. E.g. one round Victory Overview says Nemesis has about 56% populace and the next round it's about 45%. Another round and it raises to 56% again then drops to 46%. Hardly possible that Nemesis' population is changing so fast.

Victory scores for human players seem consistent from round to round (minor changes).

Maybe it's part of fog of war ? Incomplete reports of my spies and diplomats or something ? If so, then it's great. I believe that player shouldn't have too precise information because he/she should keep guessing - this makes game fun and interesting.

Might be a Victory Pact signed and then cancelled

I thought with Victory pact original VP is shown in parentheses?

Based on the 'Populace %' being the most noticeable change, it could be some city zone being captured, lost & recaptured, etc.
If the Nemesis is visible check the Strategic Map to see where this might be taking place.
Also, if you are updating ongoing games with new 'beta patches'...could be an issue.
The 'pbem' games I am involved in do update during play, but have not seen anything like this.
Yes, Victory Pact numbers are in parenthesis.
