Screenshot analysis!

Sort of disappointed that there are no advanced units (no drones, giant robots or xcom units or anything like them)

I also hoped that each future tech would add a stacking bonus this round so games without a score victory could use it for something.

 

Globalisation and social media as the ne plus ultra of tech is a strange choice. Never thought I'd see the day Internet 'activism' could be embraced in Civ

 

There are other uses for social media than activism.

 

That there is, that there is.

 

There's a policy that unlocks called 'Collective Activism'.

 

Probably references the part that social media played in the Arab Spring or the influence it has in China, rather than it's ability to make teenagers feel offended in the US.

 

Does anyone have a guess about the route upgrades which appear to be removed from the tech tree?

 

With the deluge of info that we experienced today I'm not sure how worth it it is to track down every scrap, but anyways here is a screenshot from one of quill's videos showing the effect of Yerevan (the last religious city-state), which I don't believe we knew:

 

Online communities can be unlocked from social media as well. That policy alone actually justifies the ability for fascists and communists to research social media in the game.

Social media boosting the civ's score from repeated research seems odd.

Believe it or not, the first social media application was Usenet and it existed in the 1980s.

 

Wow, ok that seems REALLY good. Definitely gonna wanna grab that ASAP in a religious game.

 

Yerevan's bonus seems very sweet, especially for a Kongo with Reliquary and some place to put events relics (they do get 5 slots in the palace). Then they can choose the martyr promotion and just swim in relics. The Sri Lanka CS also had a sweet relic boost.

Sorry, can't read that screen shot, could you quote it please?

I noticed that Privateers (and Sea Dogs) are invisible to non-adjacent units and upgrade into Subs. Crazy. Also, Privateers can do Norway's Coastal Pillaging thing. Sea Dogs capture ships. I'm not sure which is worse to be caught by surprise.

Your Apostles can choose from any promotion instead of receiving a random promotion.

 

screenshots - Notice the forth picture with two encampments next to each other

 

They are from 2 different cities (1 from Madrid 1 from Granada)

 

Haha I know but I thought it was funny looking and something to point out...
