As Harlan correctly pointed out there has been some contradictory information from official sources (ie. Firaxis and previews in magazines). It would be helpful if Firaxis could clarify these questions:
1. In what years will the game begin and end?
(One source claims the game span is 4000BC to 2020AD, while the other claims it is 4000BC to 2500AD)
2. How many civs can be in the game at once, and can that number be increased through modification of the text files?
(One source claims there are 7 civilizations per game, the other puts this number at 8)
3. Are minor civs in fact in the game, and could we hear at least a hint of how they different from regular civs?
(One (very old) source claims there will be minor civs, but there has been no mention of them in any of the recent detailed previews [though they did mention barbarians having encampements - is this what minor civs are?])
Thank you for your time and clarification, Firaxis!
