Can't you see the vid? I'm not a subscriber and I can see it.

It's basically the same that was shown at Gamescon with the exception that this one is in English. This one though shows only the gameplay and not the panel.

Some new info is the end of the tech web for Supremacy and Harmony (on the far right).
 
It's the same game in the sense that the initial save is the same, but it's being played differently. Unfortunately the video seems to stop and refuse to play again once you pause. I'm now trying to downoald it for some analysis.

Edit: Found it on IGN'S youtube channel. This one works without problems.


Link to video.

I think you're right, it's either 5 or 6. Still a major investment though .
If each level needs 12 points, for L 5 you still need 60pts!

It's a 6, as shown in the latter portion of the IGN video that was just linked.

Personally, the only thing I don't quite like is the unit icons. They just look weird and undescriptive, so they aren't fulfilling their purpose.
 
Man, that IGN video is so, so much better. I'm constantly pausing and taking notes. Just halfway through and I've already identified 5 new virtue effects and I've seen what the Gene Vault does: it's +4 food and +1 culture in the city it's built in and +10% growth in all cities.
 
Virtue Tree is like Tech web, only one 'prerequisite' needed (maybe even only one connection)
(The "trade benefit" was selected)

Purity benefits

1.. Aliens don't attack Exploreres (probably all level 1)
3.. +20% strength+ranged v. aliens
6..+2 Orbital Coverage
8?..4 free floatstone
11..Dirty bomb Operation
13.. Build to win Affinity victory (probably all level 13)
 
Will Miller is really good at this. My only disappointment is that he didn't reveal Kavitha's UA... Actually, I don't think he noticed that he (or the player) was Kavitha.

Just read the comments on that video.
Why is such stupidity legal?

Youtube's comments? They're still better than Twitch's chat. It's even better avoid them all.

It's well-known that reading YouTube comments increases the chance of developing brain cancer.

That'sg reat news. I was first annoyed when I saw the virtue trees because I thought the'll make us adopt almost every tier 1 and 2 virtue to get to tier 3. I love the flexibility.

I also caught the Supermacy benefits.

1. Explorers can build 1 additional Expedition
3. No maintenance cost for Roads and Magrails
6. Orbital Coverage on and next to every tile with Firaxite
8. 4 Firaxite for free
11. Sabotage operations can be performed by covert agents
13. Emancipation Gate can be constructed for Emancipation Victory quest

"Well, here is Kavitha from the Kavi.. Oh, sorry. This is Daoming. Right, now Kavitha just landed and.. Oh, sorry. This is Suzanne."

Very cool video indeed. Very informative. I feel we were about to see Kozlov too if the time had not ended. Pity we couldn't hear their voices.
 
After a few tries to properly pause Youtube at the right time I've written down the Supremacy Virtue's:

1- : Explorer Units can build an additional Expedition.
3- : Road and ........ (Its starts with "Mag" but I can't it well enough) cost no Energy maintenance.
6- : Orbital coverage on and next to any tile with Firaxite.
8- : Four Firaxite resources for free.
11-: Sabotage Operation can be performed by Covert Agents.
13-: Emancipation Gate can be constructed for Emancipation Victory Quest.

So there seems to be a pattern for the last 4 Affinity tiers: 6 is an Orbital bonus, 8 gives four of the specific Affinity resource, 11 a certain operation by the Covert Agents and 13 is the Affinity Victory tier.
 
So presumably Harmony's level bonuses are

1- : Idk
3- : Idk
6- : Probably something to do with Miasma satellites
8- : four free Biomass
11-: Worm thumper
13-: jello mind can be constructed

Also level 1 is something with explorers

Level 3 is something fairly specific (anti Alien v. Free Roads)

Harmony might have level 3 units aren't damaged/heal in Miasma
 
Wanna bet Level Eight Harmony is four free Xenomass strategic resources? :p

Or Level Eleven is agents can plant a thumper to attract Siege Worms to the city?

The video is listing Kavitha on the screen when it is showing the pod landing, which is what is throwing him off. Not sure if it is intentional that way, but it is odd to see the game say Kavitha on the screen as if that is who's pod it is.

For example 8:41 in the video

I really like 17:15 by the way. There will always be optimal, but that the team is going into this with equal choices as a concern, which is great. As long as I can play the game without feeling like I am purposely gimping myself, that is enough for me.

Yeah, that's confusing, even the lead designer got confused :D
That's like "High Lord William of Netherlands" in Civ V but that is shown in the BEGINNING of your turn and looks cool, like, "Its Your turn, Your Magesty". Here I get confused all the time - why is one faction releatedly doing planetfall :D
 
It would be less confusing IMO if the planetfall happened earlier in the AI turn
