It seems that there are some mistakes in this video indicated by Sebastian below. I have added Klingon subs for all of them so please make sure you use them. The most important mistakes I need to also post here are : 1) During scoring , you only use card stacks with a Roman number up to your player count. ( So in a three player game only stacks I,II, and III) and 2) is that the Concordia card is never added to the bottom of the deck. It stays at the side of the board. It never enters the market and noone can buy it. It automatically goes to the player who buys the last card in the market. The player scores the bonus points and the game's end is triggered. Sorry about that !
Hi, for setup, around 5:00 you make very clear how to set not applicable cards apart, yet you are not clear (maybe you said it before, or you will state it later on in the video) that you don't use all 5 stacks in everygame, rather than just use the apropriate number of stacks according to player count. Your video might lead to think that all 5 stacks are used in everygame, regardless of player count. In your example, that seems to be a 3 player game, you should've only used the stacks with the II and III roman numerals. And you should also leave the Concordia card apart, near the board, not at the bottom of the stack. Then, and linked to the Concordia card that you have to set apart during setup, at 6:41 you state that you can "buy" the Concordia Card from the row, but you actually gain it (for free) when you buy the last available card (not the Concordia one) or build your last house. Either way, and whichever happens first, grants you the Concordia card, for free. This clarification also applies for 14:10. At 11:06 I think it's not 100% clear that you only pass (and use) the Prefectvs Magnvs card/benefit if you chose to produce, otherwise (say you went for the coins reward) you keep it until you use the card to produce instead and then it's passed. At 15:27 the Colonist card lets you build new colonists in your cities (rather than just the Capital). Cheers!
Thanks for the explanation of this version of the game! The coop multiplayer aspect, however, was not explained and is what makes this version different from other expansions. Please correct me, I'm only going off my impression here: does this game come with player tokens and warehouse for a 6th participant? How many card stacks would you use in a 6-player game? Or is a 6-player game by necessity 3 teams of coop, and how does that play: two people controlling one colour (essentially getting double the turns) or is there some alliance that different players can easily exchange resources and/or benefit more from an action their partner takes?

I really like this game. Lots of variety with extra maps as well.
Other rule errors
10:51 Goods cannot be discarded from the warehouse to make room for new goods.
16:04 The goods are sold before the money is counted.
Thanks a lot. I have added clarifications in Klingon subs
I own the game and I haven't played it yet.
But after this video i think that everything will be easier for me.
