Brave New World gameplay walkthrough w. Ed Beach posting tomorrow

If that's Broadway at Radio maybe Prora is the the new icon at Refrigeration and The Motherland Calls at Replaceable Parts?

I don't see anything new at Replaceable Parts.

The Refrigeration icon does indeed look like Prora though. I think we can confirm our last two Wonders.
 
I would assume some of these extra effects in the techs are new trade routes. Banking, Flight and railroad possibly give a new trade route.

There is also new effect in Acoustics, Biology and Combustion.
 
Well, that's neither true nor good for gameplay. The entire idea of having three ideologies is that the world will split into factors, this being the basis for a late game diplomatic split. Making one "bad a diplomacy" would effectively ruin that.

Autocracy would probably be bad for anything except domination but diplomacy ie. "getting along with other people" would be the opposite end of the spectrum of a militaristic autocrat and it's weakest point. :shrug:.
 
Well Nazis had a lots of allies in Europe. Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Slovakia, Finland, Croatia, Romania etc.

I would say realistically both Autocracy and Order should be bad at Cultural victory. For balance reasons this would not make much sense.
 
Another finding.

Kremlin shifted from Metallurgy to Railroads.
A new effect at Biology.


Replaceable Parts wonder is Statue of Liberty, so no change there.
 
Is M'banza-Kongo Middle Eastern in its artstyle or not? It looks vaguely like it, but I don't remember seeing those pointy towers or whatever they are before, and it looks a bit darker...
 
The advisor screens he clicks through at about 2:18 or so mention Artists guilds and Musicians guilds that allow you to generate great artists and musicians. Presumably the same is true of writers, and this is the new mechanic for generating all these units.

Now one wonders if these guilds are buildings you have to construct? Since apparently, you have to assign specialists to specific guilds in order to generate that specific GP. and yea, the text is roughly the same for writers.
 
So....

New effect at Acoustics - Brazilwood camp?
Is that last icon on Acoustics Celidh Hall? For some reason it looks different to me.
Uffizi at Architecture
Feitoria (?) at Navigation
New Archeology tech
Something new at Metallurgy
Broadway at Radio?
Prora at Refrigeration?
Something new at Flight
 
Very interesting video; I really enjoyed that. Even though we broadly knew about all the things featured, it was good to get some extra details here and there.

I assume the Great Artist/Great Work mismatch is just a bug: it very much goes against what we've already been told about the works being tied to artists.

The Communist cultural overhaul of the world war was pretty darn successful - they should be good at Domination, Culture and Diplomacy for mine and less so at Science - in the end the US sent the USSR broke by faking them out with Star Wars and China buys Japanese tech. Fascism was terrible at Culture to be honest. To me they should be good at Science, Domination and Diplomacy. That would leave Freedom with Culture, Science and Diplomacy.

Leni Riefenstahl would like to have a word with you. :p
 
Hey guys -

Wanted to give you all a heads up that we'll be posting a 25 minute gameplay walkthrough of Brave New World with Ed early tomorrow morning (5 AM Pacific time)! We're gonna go over Portugal, the archeology system, world congress, and more. Most of this is from the demos that press saw early this month, but this is the first time you'll see direct-feed gameplay.

It'll be up on youtube.com/rev3games and revision3.com. I'll post a link here tomorrow as well.

Sorry for the self-promotion - just thought I'd give you all something new to get excited about.

Just want to say thanks. This has made my morning.

I agree with you in many ways, but do remember we are talking about different victory types here. I dont think Order Civs are bad in culture, but they are bad in tourism, which makes you win the cultural victory. Also Autocracy Civs are not bad in science, but they are not as good in building the space ship as Order and Freedom Civs.

Communist countries have not really been the best tourist destinations of the world. Soviet Union, North-Korea and East-Germany were not really that open for foreign tourists. Nazi-Germany on the other held Olympics and before the World War was much more open to outside world than Stalins Soviet Union for example.
 
Some additional info regarding World Congress

World Leader: A diplomatic victory is only won if somebody manages to get ENOUGH votes, implying that there is a minimum number of votes required. If no Civs get a significant number of vote, the top 2 Civs with the most support gets 1 permanent delegate for future uses. May not be proposed by any Civ. Is Automatically proposed at certain intervals when UN is formed.

Non Nuclear Proliferation: All Civs banned from constructing nuclear missiles and atomic bombs. Built nuclear weapons are not disarmed. Activated after Advanced Ballistics.

World Ideology: Activated after Radio (So this could be the new effect at radio?). All Civs with that Ideology gets 2 extra delegates. Public opinion supporting this ideology is increased.

World Games:
1st place: 100% boost to tourism for 20 turns. Free social Policy
2nd Place: +3 Happiness. + 30 influence with city states
3rd place: +3 happiness

Unlocked at Radio.
