Ok after playing the demo there are some things that have been mentioned in the previews and reviews that I can't see. I'm assuming the demo is the latest version so here goes:
Edit:
Q1: so I'm guessing that communism and democracy both add to the base resource, otherwise with library doubling and university quadrupling income, that 50% won't mean crap
Question 2: How can we tell when we enter a new era and out next set of bonuses kick in, why didn't they add a screen like the civ4 version - especially since its even more important now that we get additional bonuses.
oh yea finally: are spies a normal unit? Can the be seen by other standard military units? If thats the case then the main use of spies seems to be to being some along with your army by brute force as a sort of artillery
I wish we could save games, i dunno why they wouldn't allow it in the demo: I'd hate to start again every time I was test something can
- unit upgrades don't seem possible: only Leonardo's workshop and elite german units upgrade
- elite units don't get 100% strength [50% more than vet.] they just get 1 promotion <-- good change imo
- 2 coin rushbuys 1 hammer [gg America]
- great people can't be moved from city to city [good thing imo]
- Cities start with 2pop, I was playing as egyptians and after some techs. & wonders each new city was starting at 4pop which was weird - kinda makes china even worst than anticipated [feel so sorry for them]
