Yes definitely agree!
I really liked this one! (we have moved past the jan 8th stream despite the title right?)
Sure it got a bit too basic for me at times, but there will always be someone watching not knowing anything about the game. Might as well start from the beginning.
I also think your decision to continue with Egypt for another episode is the right choice. Since you have limited yourself to i single hour per week I think this format of: One episode to show a new empire, its geographical and political situation, and setting things up, followed by an episode showing these things play out will work the best. (although I could peronally go for longer than an hour)
Then once you have showed the most interesting locations/empire types I think we (I) would like to see a campaign played further (or even to copletion). To properly see how thing evolve is one of the best things about pdx games after all.

Todays stream was much better guys, not rushing past everything and really taking time to show off the various bits of the game. Definitely play this save for a few more streams so we can see a bit of stuff past the very early game.
I'll chime in and agree that this stream was much better than last week's, especially with taking the time to show everything. Even if a lot of it was already known from dev diaries, it was really nice to see it in action whereas last week was just too busy to see anything.
Stream was definitely better than the Rome stream, could finally see a lot of the mechanics involved, and was a lot of fun from my perspective. I’m so happy that the assassination button in the character screen has been changed to “Plan Assassination” - hopefully it is a shift to plotting power like in Ck2, which can open up a lot of intrigue (like failed assassination, increase tyranny etc )
Tho can I ask: is assasinations really banned within the realm, or is Johan just such a benevolent ruler?
And now it seems researching inventions now cost the same amount of civic power?

EDIT: Cost no longer increases per aquired invention, and is Civic power. My bad.

This prohibition to assassinate characters in our own realm is just weird, unconscionable people conspired to murder anyone anywhere, even their relatives, that's why CK2 ban on murdering one's own children is also questionable, but being unable to kill your political opponents in the same realm is worst.
So will you be the Arch-pronouncer for next week's streamThe Invention cost (Influence; not civic power) is increased the more you purchase
?
The Invention cost (Influence; not civic power) is increased the more you purchase
Sorry Johan I’m abit confused
Is invention (influence) cost the amount of research points required to advance to the next level? And so civic power cost will now just be capped at 50? Thanks again for ur replies
The Invention cost (Influence; not civic power) is increased the more you purchase
It looked from the gameplay that the cost no longer increases, but it stays at 50 civil power now.
Secondly: please, join the stream as commentator.
So tech costs are now just capped at 50 per invention even as tech advances? That kinda sucksConfirmed with Johan 1.0 and that is indeed the case, my bad...
Don’t understand why this needed to be changed at all , the previous mechanics were fine as they were

I guess they felt tech (and thus citizens) played a too little role, so now techs unlocking inventiond and other bonuses is more important and inventiond just cost the same as there are many more as well to pick fron but at the same ttime if you unlock them all (or all the ones you want at least) youll have to wait for technology to uunlock more.
