Can you tell us about how much naval units/buildings will play a part in fairly "standard" continents-style maps? Did you feel enticed to interact with water tiles in terms of Ancient Wonders or other rewards?

This bit I can answer since we detailed it elsewhere. For Tomes on Tier 1-3 you need to research two Tomes on the preceeding Tier, these can be of any Affinity. For Tiers 4 & 5 there is an Affinity requirement that needs to be met. Of course whenever you get to pick a new Tome you can also go back and choose one from an earlier Tier.What do you have to do to unlock new ones?

The rest of the Q's I'll leave for Devil.
Have a look at our streams, on the research screen you'll see 'Next Tome: X Research Cycles'I'm a bit curious myself what it means to research tomes to unlock the next. Does it mean before you can pick another tome you have to research everything that tome gives you?
I think it was said that you need half of the technologies researched. So if tome has 5 options to research I imagine you need 3.I'm a bit curious myself what it means to research tomes to unlock the next.

Do you get to pick what tome you want to research? like if im aiming for say tome of beasts do i just gotta hope it pops up or can i actually pick it if i have the prereqsHave a look at our streams, on the research screen you'll see 'Next Tome: X Research Cycles'
Tome of beasts is Tier 1 so extrapolating form Jordi said it doesn't have prerequisites.Do you get to pick what tome you want to research? like if im aiming for say tome of beasts do i just gotta hope it pops up or can i actually pick it if i have the prereqs
I mean in game like after u pick your first tome i just used tome of beasts as an example off the top of my head i was mostly just curious if i had to bank on random chance to get the tome i'm looking for or if it was a list, so thats awesome if you get a list to pick from in game as wellTome of beasts is Tier 1 so extrapolating form Jordi said it doesn't have prerequisites.
As it was shown in pre-order trailer (1:25 time mark) you can pick the tomes that you want from the "list"

awesome thanksView attachment 953568
I believe that's the list that you choose next Time so seems pretty open to pick whichever you want but could be some restrictions that were not revealed yet so I'm like 85% sure
According to Gamestar (comment section) the soft cap in the late game is seven cities (IE without penalties I guess). To reach seven you need to increase the limit through investments in the affinity tree though.What is about city cap? That’s what many seem to be concerned about, me for sure. What was it value at start and in end game phase? Did it depend on map size? Have you conquered cities from AI rulers and what did you do with that cities?
Question 4: Oh two more! Is the maps like in PF where west and east loops around as opposed to AoW3 where all edges were the border? If so, is that for underground as well?
Hell, what’s worse is that the culture-specific units are very limited and become practically useless by the mid to late game. Okay, I’m being too nice… they’re completely useless by the end game.
I've noticed that there are tooltips specifically for affinity icons in culture customization screen near the name of the culture that show values such as +2 gold for order, +2 knowleadge for shadow, +2 mana for arcane, +2 knowleadge for shadow, +2 production for materium and I assume other values for other affinities.
Yeah, I'm just not sure how they are applied. Say that you have 1 order affinity - how does it apply to a city? Does governor here means the player, as in the city is being owned by the player? Does it apply to vassals? Or is there a new entity that is a governor, like a hero or something?You mean the Governor modifiers? Seems like those are bonuses that scales with amount of affinities points in the respectable affinity pool.
Unless I misunderstood your concern.
