Soren talked about Civ4 at the Game Developers Conference. His presentation talks a little about Civ4.
Here is some info from that presentation:
Civilization IV: Best Civ Yet!
-Modern interface/help conventions
-Continuous, immersive 3D world (what-you-see-is-what-you-get)
-Drop unfun legacy (pollution, rioting, maintenance, corruption/waste)
-New killer features (religion, civics)
-RPG elements (unit upgrades/experience)
-Coding from scratch (multiplayer, mod-friendly)
-Can still take over the world!
Looks like things are going to change.
