This looks like the live stream of the gameplay reveal, starting now:

Highlights as I remember them from the live stream:
Edit: Here's the rerun:

Interested how the map expansion will work in multiplayer.
Concerned about the era resets.
I like what they appear to have taken from humankind (eras, leader swaps, outposts/yowns, map elevation?) and old world (tile improvements culture bomb)
Also concerned about how the maps seemed to just be cities, no gradual domestication of the world with farms, mines etc.
What resets? The impression they gave was that you keep what you've already accomplished when moving to a new era. (It's always possible that I misinterpreted something, though. I guess we'll see.)
There was something said (maybe by a youtuber?) about upgrades merging with your town centre or something on a new era (because so much is specific to a single era). Almost like playing 3 games on the same map.
It also implies that tech disparities will be reset twice a game....not sure if that is good or bad.
