Nope, almost no official words about the game 
But I hope when E3 starts we'll start getting some information about the game

It's a bit early for system requirements to already be released. But they will probably be similar to Pirates: 1 GHz, 256 MB, 32 MB video with T&L support. They might crank it up a little, but not too much.Comment

Conventional wisdom is that sales are always poor in the summer so its better to release it fresh for the Thanksgiving/Christmas high sales period.Originally posted by milenotis
...it seems like every game of civ stature tends to buy itself a bit of time by releasing in fall to hit the holiday rather than rush release during the summer.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

I have just read the PC Zone mag and can make these definite conclusions:
*Barbarians will have animal attackers.
*The map is the same iso-style as usual but also fully 3D.
*Maps can be zoomed, spun, showing the traditional tiles we all love.
*Most screenies we have seen are at full zoom, the panned out view is amazing.
*Religions will indeed be generic. (Aussie_Lurker, rejoice!)
*The civs all have a cultural/nation flag. They look good.
*The classic city square and culture borders are there in all their full glory!
*The maps and worlds graphically look magnificent and totally huge!
*The terrain features and tile improvements also look amazing! Mines, mills and proto-factories!
*Units will go up in level and be given a choice of new abilities with each rank. RPG/Wargame style!
*Temples and city enhancement features seem to be on the maps. I spotted a temple ziggurat.
*The units look really awesome when zoomed out, giving a sumptous vista of an uncluttered war.
*The coasts are square, just like CIV2/3! Excellent!
*Irrigation/crops and and bonus tiles are represented fully. Rivers are very detailed!
*A merchant/caravan is spotted! Also Pikemen!
*The whole ensemble looks mind-blowing. This game will rule, I am convinced.
I have tons of new screenies - But I will await an OK to post them!

Like the Conquistador unit?
Need a new, larger monitor now -- Civ has now just cost me $600-700 USD*The units look really awesome when zoomed out, giving a sumptous vista of an uncluttered war.
Need more time -- Civ has now just cost me 1000 extra hours a year to manage caravans.*A merchant/caravan is spotted! Also Pikemen!
--I'll take an email at michaeldnelson (which is my username) for the domain of gmail with the dot commie thing at the end. And I think Adagio means gmail also not google.Haven't been here for ages....Comment

@Shogun:
Nope! Actual barabarian-controlled animals, and also barbs can attack animals too!
Perhaps your horse resources could be a target...
Screenies are being scanned!

Cheers!
Another little bit I noticed:
Scouts on various terrain seem to be able to report the level of 'fresh water'...
No doubt this ties in with the CIV4 health concept!
Perhaps scouts now are even more useful to find new city sites!Comment

Barbarian culture banner/symbol seems to be a pirate-style skull on a black flag.
This idea has been used more than once in CIV2 mods.

This would imply no need of spies to know the content of a city?Temples and city enhancement features seem to be on the maps. I spotted a temple ziggurat.Clash of Civilization team member

I reckon spying and espionage will be abstracted, as like in CIV3.
The player might know about some improvements, but perhaps not all.
The temple in the screenie might even be a minor wonder...!
