Pacov just finished watching first 8 minutes. So don't know if you later figure this out but there is a new thing other than just fertility and production called essence. Your start position did not have any essence it would be a blue color and a number after the color. You can only cast enchantments on your city if you have essence. You can cast as many enchantments as you have essence. So if your city has 3 essence, you can cast 3 enchantments on it.

Weight capacity is good because if you can't hold a lot you wont be able to equip armor and weapons and also it will lower your initiative, which is how fast you go (just in case you didn't know what that does)

When you were trading the axe with your follower, you missed the opportunity to select trade and equip which would have saved you a step as it would automatically equip it to him.

The reason why your weapon was changing color when equipping was because Green means it is better and it is increasing your stat in some way. Yellow just meant you had it equipped already so no change. Red means it is worse.

You can turn off auto turn if you want, so that you can control when your turn ends. You can also set manual placement for buildings, you might have it on automatic placement since it defaults to auto placement in options.

Thanks again for all the feedback, blackrainz.  I'll likely do another walkthrough on the latest beta sometime over the next few days.  I'm playing on releasing 1 long winded video for those that are interested in watching and another that just breaks out things that I think REALLY need fixed before they lock things down.  I just rewatched my vid in the OP and I can see that there are a few things that strike me a really off still.  Anyway, I'll likely create a new thread as soon as I set aside some time (hopefully in the next 2-3 days).  Thanks again for reading/watching and feedback.
