I'm uncertain about the following "New World" ones:
All Aboard the Orient Express
Discover a route to the Orient. (?? find a route to Asia through the Americas ??)
Dr. Heidegger's Experiment
Find the Fountain of Youth (?? might be 'natural wonder' type of feature ??)
Raleigh's Road to Riches
Discover El Dorado (?? see above ??)
Au in the EU
Return a Treasure to Europe. (?? might be similar to Colonization style treasure ??)
and remember, you read it first on Apolyton! 
In addition I would like to take the opportunity to shamelessly plug my frustration with the absence of the DUTCH in this scenario. Where would the world be without us? We did invent modern capitalism after all

An interesting article at The Escapist about Civilization and some of the goings-on behind the scenes at Firaxis:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...s-Civ-V-Studio
I have a lot of problems with the methods Firaxis tested this with. Turning off barbs, limiting AI expansion ... those are two critical factors for how big an impact waiting to found your first city will be.
I myself like to move the other unit first, see if there's a good spot to move the Settler to in a couple of turns or less. A river hill is is hard to pass up moving to. The extra production from the hill will pay off the first move very quickly.
How about you? In what circumstances do you feel moving the Settler is a good idea?...March 1, 2014, 00:41 -
joystiq reports that Civilization V may get another expansion, based on a listing in the Steam Apps Database. Neither Firaxis nor 2K Games commented on this finding.

Civilization 5 Patch 1.0.2.13 has been released. That is the big patch announced for this fall. It contains many fixes and tweaks and also support for Windows 8 touch screen support. Here is the list with full patch notes highlighted are the things that were not in the announcement earlier this year:
BUG FIXES
General- Mod Browser - The "Get Mods" button is now hidden if the user has disabled the steam overlay.
Civilizations and Traits- Ottoman naval upkeep is now fixed. Save games that were started before the fix will not be corrected.
- German UA and Oligarchy social policy now work together correctly.
City States- Mercantile CS now only get a unique luxury for their first city (and not the cities they conquer). Unique luxury is removed upon capture (players can no longer get it by taking over a CS). Unique luxury is given back upon liberation.
- Prevent double counting of resources when an improvement is gifted to a minor civ, then the minor civ techs up to activate the improvement.

From Archaemennid to Safavid
As Darius, start 5 Golden Ages in a single game.
That one just showed up a few hours AFTER I finished my first game as Darius, where I got like a million golden ages, around 5 in the last 50 turns. Unfortunately I already overwrote the savegame when I noticed this
Tomb Raider
Pillage gold from an Egyptian city with a burial tomb in it.
- I already did pillage many Egyptian cities. Either the AI NEVER builds burial tombs, or this doesn't work -
Magellan
Prove that the world is round by uncovering a connected loop of tiles around the circumference of the world.
- I already did this like a million times already - EDIT: Nevermind, I see that this has been fixed in the patch
