Just the tip
We have had the Holy Roman Empire and Germany in the past. It is the same country with different names like Russia and the Soviet Union or England and the United Kingdom.

The HRE has more common with Austria than Germany.

Phoenicia is certainly not Carthage or vice versa. Carthage was a Phoenician-founded city-state that grew into an empire. The Phoenicians were a maritime trading people who founded cities. They didn't really have an empire.

Now that we have most European nations, I'd like to see a WWI/II/Cold War scenario.

Exciting stuff. And not too long to wait either! This should freshen the game up (not that I am unhappy with how it is at the moment)!

Wow. This is what I get for sleeping late today. A comment on page 7, Still, can't wait!

It's definitely Assyria. Look at the screen shot and notice the siege tower icon.
Then look at this Assyrian depiction:
Then look at this Assyrian depiction:
I have a feeling one of the articles mentioned something else as a prerequisite, so presumably it isn't a case of it starting immediately when someone has met everyone.

Deo: You are probably right. That is a convincing image.

Menzies: Look at it this way, if it wasn't for you, they would probably have announced this one week later. You've been dogging them with your predictions.

I was looking forward to your reaction to this. A Friday! How are you going to predict the next game/expansion?

I'd been checking the 2K blog at 8am (according to their blog) for days hoping to see it as it came up... I stopped today as I figured that they were just going to announce it at PAX... Not really sure why I care though! It's finally been announced!!!
Glad to see the next expansion announced (although by next week I'm sure I'll be beyond tired of hearing speculation about the rest of the civs that will be in the game). The one thing I hope to hear about? AI improvements. I don't expect the AI to be perfect, but it would be nice if they didn't cheat so much at the highest difficulty levels. I can imagine that having them actively manage their culture and trade routes won't be easy, so who knows if my hopes for a better AI will be fulfilled.
Oh, and more espionage stuff would be nice...

Not announced yet.
Straw poll: Who will be playing Poland on an Earth map for their first game and constantly reloading until you get a north African start?
