It's interesting how Peasants and Farmers are distinct pop types here

Didn't they already say that Peasants are basically Serfs at some point? Presumably then Farmers are 'free' employed farmers.

I believe it was written in an earlier diary that peasants represent people in subsistence agriculture and that a big part of the game is moving them to more productive jobs over time. Farmer probably represents a higher efficiency form of agriculture.

I like how Aristocrats are barely visible on the population graph but they're the 2nd biggest chunk on the political strength graph

drat, lots of cool screenshots.

I'm looking forward to when they explain the buy orders / sell orders thing. The positive and negative balance makes sense in the context of a single market, but when and how do other markets fit in? (maybe trade routes are gonna impose pretty strict limits on how goods move between markets as a way of stopping constant global economy crashing shenanigans)

Also what do urban centres actually do? They appear with urbanisation and employ shopkeepers, but are they just an extra tax income? Do they produce something? Would be cool if they increased political engagement.

The Buildings diary says:

quote:

Another special type of building is Urban Centers. Like Subsistence Buildings, these are automatically created rather than built, with the level of Urban Center in a State being tied to the amount of Urbanization generated by its other buildings. Urban Centers primarily employ Shopkeepers and provide a number of important local functions that we will get into at a later point.
From that and whats mentioned in the video it sounds like they provide services, which are demanded by Urban pops somehow and relate to some systems they haven't talked about yet.

The fact that they feel a need to have those numbers for the top 3 underneath kinda prove that the pie chart sucks at conveying useful information. In the same space they're currently using, bar charts would be able to provide more easily read information on more groups.

It could be that the detailed list has that, though then a player might want a way for the detailed list to always be the one that opens first.

I disagree, bar chart in that small space would be less readable. It would be crowded with all the smaller slices that would have very short bars

"Tiny Trains"

Please paradox in the name of accessibility let us mouse over the chunks of pie charts to see what the colour represents for those of us with bad colour-seeing peepers. I always found the pie charts in other paradox games totally useless because I couldn't tell which exact shade of colour meant what between the legend and pie. Give me a tool tip please.

they were also useless because they didn't actually convey any information correctly.

bar charts can't accommodate additional pop types added by mods or dlc inside a fixed-size UI element
