Quill18 Gamescom Gameplay Overview

[Promethian]

Has more info than the Paradoxextra video. A short (and probably not exhaustive) list of new info.

Green commercial specialization will require less goods deliveries.
Office specialization is IT. Employs fewer people and uses more electricity but pays more taxes.
3 of the new unique buildings were demonstrated. A bird and bee reserve. A redwood park. A giant central park that is so big it has a road built in that bisects it (this one is glorious).

Info overlays will stay active while building or zoning! This one gets separated out because it is such a big deal.

@co_emmi At 3:33 of that video, I see high density amount of households in a low density residential zone. You're probably aware of this bug already, but just making sure

I think this video was better than the other one. Need to put the talking heads somewhere that does not cover the game content that is being highlighted though.

That is awesome.

I like the IT office buildings. Not totally impressed by the buildings with green carpet on the walls though.

The floating stuff needs to have a small boat going back and forth from shore to the platform.

28:02 - Sounds like the road stuff is going to be for modders, not players in-game. If so, a good thing, but not necessarily what many were hoping for.

Nice that they put the some floating stuff and road stuff in the free patch, so modders don't necessarily have to buy "Green Cities" to make use of those things.

We saw in this video that the swimming pool, the gym and the yoga park will provide both leisure and health.

Shouldn't tennis and basketball (what we already have) bring both too ?

I can't believe I missed this. Its just the kind of cheeky easter egg that clever devs would make.

So it would seem. In the video just released (for the announcement of the 19 October release date), it shows that building, and the "ILS" appears darker (lamps burned out?), leaving "SOY & LENT" illuminated.
