That's it! I'm buying this game on release day without my usual customary wait to see what others think. I trust Paradox enough.
Great pics!

From the second of the new screenshots posted, it looks like two more of the pop groups are named "clerks" and "craftsmen" (listed on the left under "workforce"). If I were to guess about the others, I'd say the one on the far left is an aristocrat, the one on the far right is a slave, the guy in the top hat is a businessman, the guy with the "4" under his icon is a soldier, one of the two to the soldier's right is a farmer/peasant (not sure about the other one), the one to the right of the aristocrat is maybe an officer, and the one to the right of that guy is maybe clergy or scientist/educator (not sure about those last two either).
Hmmf. So 9000 clerks lord over 6000 crafts men ? Sounds to me its more communist then anything.
And also re: diplomacy. So Britain has just sold some technology to get a land claim ?I hope the Ai was designed not to be too easily swayed by that "I offer you mobilization, you give me half your state" "Hmm, OK !"
*Congratulations sir, Belgium has just recieved half of China !*

Correct me if I'm wrong but that 'claim' to Santa Barbara probably allows Britain to exploit that province economically rather than making it part of the UK 'core'. Otherwise it would be silly.
Looks absolutely fantastic - just look at that list of techs - and I appreciate that Crimean screenie too.

Negotiations look fantastic, plenty of techs to work with! I wonder how mobilization works though. Thanks for the pics.
Is Brazil giving GB railroad tech in the first screenie???? I always knew my country was once upon a time a world technological power!!!! 
In the second screenie, there are two sets of numbers in gold and white on the production line. What are they?!?

I supposed so, but from the menu order (Leicester/Diplomatic Actions/Negotiations) it looks a little confusing... It sounds like GB is receiving and giving stuff...
Hmmm.... I was playing as Brazil...
Not entirely obvious but the player nation is always on the left.
The deal to get lvl 1 railroad would set me back one claim (costing between five and seven thousand plus material to build the building) and the 6200 monopoly bills
But that is of course dependant on how much the counterpart likes me and my tech level compared to them and the tech leaders in the world...P

i'm curious to know how the tech leaders affect trade for other nations. are nations more likely to trade techs with nations far behind the tech leaders or ones the are close to / one of the tech leaders?
if a nation is considered a tech leader will it be reluctent to trade away rare knoledge even for a good deal? or will it be willing to trade tech's for other things since it is already leading the world in that area??
will nations nations be more or less willing to trade imformation with nations that have around the same tech value as them??
just some questions off the top of my head
1. Far behind is more likely than close competitors.
2. Depends on your relations and how close behind you are... Price will vary (a lot).
3. See above... It also depends on if the tech is known among the largest nations.

So basically everything has a price, that’s extremely . So you can economically dominate others and use your money to purchase everything you want. The chance of success down the bottom there is 95%, is that the max level you can get or can you get it higher by offering more?
Just on the second screenie you have 4 soldiers down the bottom there. Which rases a couple of question, is that POP representing a (or several) on map military units at the same time? Or does the soldier POP represent non-mobilised troops? If it’s the first is the POP linked to the fate of the Military unit?
One other thing on that screenie the menu titles say factories in the Midlands, I thought that you could only have one factory per region. Is this so and if not what’s the maximum number of factories that you have in a region. Also those 9000 clerks and 6000 craftsmen, are they assigned to that factory or un-assigned?
Aghh so many questions I better stop thinking about screenies for now

Tech leaders
So, is it good to lead in one area or be average in all? Oh, think of all the games we'll have to play to find out.
