A handful of the districts seem to break what most seem to define as district "rules". It seems that Industrial and Entertainment districts affect cities beyond the one that constructed them, Aqueducts don't factor in pop and, quite possibly dealing with people's primary complaint about the neighborhood; Neighborhoods aren't restricted to 1 per city.

This is actually neat, I was worried that entertainment districts would get overbuilt to keep amenities up in each city, but being able to share them between cities helps in that regard. It also encourages building cities close together, which is a strategy I tend to favor. Aqueduct not counting helps with balance, since we know it has somewhat strict requirements for placement.

I assume that neighborhoods start to replace farmland when housing becomes a bigger concern than food. Don't really know how late game cities generate food, but I assume they have a plan for that.

Can anyone corroborate the return of Trading Posts? I'm 99% sure I saw a mention of it in the trade route UI. I think maybe you could spawn one using a Teader Unit? Or maybe they get generated automatically. No idea where I saw it though.

When a trader completes a trade route to a new city a message pops up staying something on the lines of "your trader has completed a trade route to [____] and has built a trading post in the city"

Could you provide a link by any chance. Wanna go over it with a fine tooth comb.

Medieval Roads provide bridges over rivers btw.

So, it sounds like it's figurative.

It must provide something, else why include it?

Flavor?

I was thinking the "built a trading post" was an indicator that you could now cancel the trade route, I know the timings aren't as strict as they were in V. But that's pure speculation.

It just occurs to me... the English Sea Dog is a replacement for the Privateer, rather than the Caravel.

possibly. Didn't it have the same stats as the caravel?

Album with a whole bunch of screengrabs from the 2 hour video. Decent amount of hard, rock-solid, throbbing information.

Not really, they both have a move of 4 but different base combat strengths.

The pilot had a tendency to check a lot of the unlocks for every tech. I'm sure there was a lot I missed. Also, I only started gathering all that info about maybe 80 or so minutes in.

In that moysturfurmer's video there's also a possibility to build 'Potala Palace' wonder in the build menu, not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet. Seen here, also some religious combat:

Well I'm thinking flavor since it appears both after completing a trade route to:
Your own cities

Spoiler :

Or CS/Other Civ cities

Spoiler :

But then I didn't take the time look for the tech or the SocPol which unlocked the trader, nor did I look for a mouse-over of the trader to see if they mentioned anything pertinent to trading posts

Actually this message appears only after the whole mission is complete and that trader is ready for new orders

It's also possible that you can only perform diplomatic trades after the Trade Route has constructed the trading post.

 

[Cerilis]

Maybe it's related to gossip or espionage in general?

That's what I'm thinking; that it's analogous to an Envoy or Delegation, and provides a source of diplomatic visibility.

This issue with these suggestions is that it appears for both internal and external trade routes.

And if it's just flavor, why would there be a *notification* of it? Notifications are used much more sparingly in this iteration, so it seems like it should indicate something to, you know, take note of.

I'll hazard a guess that it might be related to a mechanic where the more often you send a TR to a destination the more profitable it becomes, a la BE's station TR mechanic.

Given new info this is my inclination as well.
