An interesting screenshot.:) But why are there so few technologies? Is there any more technologies hidden under each part maybe?

How do the research points work? Are they for one time use, or are they available for each tech?:)

And the consciousness for farmers and so on, what exactly do they influence?

Cultural technology is divided in five groups with five applications in each. There are 4 other groups like this! So, hmmm.... 125 applications in all (and then you have the invention events spawned by the applications)...

I'll answer the rest another day :)

I'd say that the consciousness has to do with their awareness of their social surroindings, and would affect their demands to the government.

Very nice. I'm starting to like the map as well - I didn't really go for it at first. The event box has a nice EU-ish feel to it, and the technology system looks interesting.

I'm not sure that 'consciousness' is a good word to use though - it suggests that your population starts off unconscious ;)

I meant that in some of the other screens, we saw the dutch flag, french flag, etc. I was curious how you'd handle america, with its numerous additional stars n this period.

Christ... that sounds complicated.

yes "enlightment" would be better - unless they do start off unconscious / drunk ;)

Well, they might start being oblivious, rather than unconcious. :D

I must say I'm quite curious to what the effects of these cultural "technologies" could be. :)

I do wonder though, if I'm playing a non-European nation like the Ottoman Empire or Japan, would I be forced to "research" these European-orientated philosophies to gain certain effects or benefits?

I've been looking at the screenshots over the months, things look to be shaping up very interestingly. Events spawned from tech sounds very cool, as long as it isn't always exactly the same events. (Research nationalism and get the revolutions of 1848!)

My main comment would be this: after looking at the screenshots for months, I keep thinking that the red lines to indicate adminstrative areas are just placeholder graphics and will change... they haven't. In my opinion those lines need to be bolder and thicker or a different color, or something, to really bring out the administrative areas. You're going to be dealing with them most of the time, so you need to be able to easily see them. Black lines for provinces look fine though.

Excellent point. I hadn't thought of that.
