Suzerain bonus selection:

Per Marbozir if you integrate the city into your empire the bonus you select still remains until the end of the current age.

Per Marbozir if you integrate the city into your empire the bonus you select still remains until the end of the current age.

Considering that IPs disappear on age transition, then there is no negative to integrating (and if you integrate then they likely won't disappear now), besides I guess having a settlement you didn't pick the location for.

Trade routes:

Interesting - timestamp where he discusses it - this screen just pans you over to the city where you then can move your merchant (just like any other unit). Once the merchant is physically there you can start the trade route.

You can also just free move your merchant to basically explore and make trade routes of opportunity. Plus merchants don't need open borders to move within another empire's borders.

White line is the potential trade route...route.

EDIT: Merchant unit action to create trade route:

Immediately creates route and obtains resources.

Didn't realize Writing unlocks the Steal Tech espionage action.

Pretty cool that Espionage is just...there...from Antiquity onwards. Nicely integrated into the diplomacy/influence system.

Is anybody keeping an up to date tally of the IPs and city states revealed in all of these videos?

 

[AriochIV]

It looks as though the City-State suzerain bonus choices are shared by type (Cultural, Militaristic, etc.).

Yes, but it's changing by the minute.

Farmers Market. What is this? And more importantly, is it organic?

 

[thecrazyscot]

Interesting to see what impacts the relationship:

The leader Agenda looks like it will not, in fact, completely dictate a leader's interactions with you. Also, diplomatic impacts from government, not just ideologies.

Where were the Meiji and Prussian icons found

Where were the Meiji and Prussian icons found

If you're talking to me: There was a screenshot in another thread with both in the upper right below the leaderheads. But I actually made the Meiji icon several days ago... that Imperial chrysanthemum icon is the pretty obvious choice for Meiji.

 

[thecrazyscot]

Militaristic suzerain bonuses:

Well dang, that's a nice cheap way to bolster your military super quickly. (note Marbozir is playing this on Online speed)

 

[AriochIV]

Yeah, definitely shared suzerain bonus options by type.
