No more culture/science/espionage slider. No more telling you what the AI is thinking for diplomacy.
Can't say I approve of the latter. Frankly it will always be a game of min-maxing, only now it is harder to accurately min-max.

I have to say though that I like the way the new culture victory system sounds. However the diplo victory seems like it may as well be a commerce victory since it'll basically be a game of how many cities can you pay off. Diplo victory was always stupid in my opinion, I always played with it turned off.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I think it's all sounding really promising so far. Sounds like they are culling tedious micromanagement wherever possible.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Social Policies, ten branches.
It sounds like you earn culture, the more culture, the more features you can 'buy' per branch.
It's a neat new way to use culture.
It's a new choice to made! In which branch will I invest more. This makes a difference for the direction you take your civilization.
What branches can there be? Speculation?
- Honor: military bonusses (confirmed)
- Commerce: improves gold output (confirmed)
- Science?
- Diplomacy?
- Tile improvements?
- culture?
- naval transport?
- buildings?
- production?
- ??
- Ranged attack:
Siege units must be setup prior before they can attack, but they have a stronger ranged combat then other units.
- Zone of Control is back!
Applies only to units of players you're at war with.
- AI leaders will raise questions when you park a lot of units near their borders. Your response is important.
- city states
There are 3 types of city states:
* maritime
* cultured
* militaristic
"While city-states can be friends with any player, they can be allied to only one at a time. City-states grant all of their resources to their ally and will join that ally in war, which makes an allegiance with city-states a very handy thing to possess. "
City states may make requests, like cleaning out barbarians or annihilating other civs!
- Gold
Use gold to buy tiles(!), units, buildings, etc., but also to please city states!Formerly known as "CyberShy"
