Sistine Chapel gives an extra 25% culture. Has 2 GWArt slots [old news]
Broadway has 3 GWMusic slots (unlocks at Radio)
Hermitage has 3 GWArt slots
Heroic Epic has a GWWriting slot [old news]

The Scream by Edvard Munch is a Great Work of Art
Fifth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven is a Great Work of Music
Messe de Nostre Dame by Guillaume de Machaunt is a Great Work of Music
Henry VIII by Samuel F. B. Morse is a Great Work of Art[ist]
Gustav Holst is a Great Musician

National Visitor's Center is a new building (unlocks at Communications)
East India Company may be a new National Wonder

Modern Caravans are big rigs.
Modern Archaeologists look like modern workers (placeholder graphic?)

Nice shot of a Trading Post(?) at 0:47
New fort graphic at 0:57?
 
Is that the BNW music? Haven't heard it before. But yeah, nothing really new here. Nice trailer though.

Nothing new? There's plenty new, you don't need to listen to Shepard. just use your eyes.

Loved the placed holder icon for the National Something Centre EXP2 :lol:

No new civs to see though :/
 
+25% culture from Sistine Chapel in all cities (is that a bit less than it was before?)

Archeologists are consumed when they complete excavation.

National Visitor's Centre unlocks at Communications

I think it says National Visitor's Centre; perhaps a new National Wonder, requiring Hotels (or some other Tourism building) in all cities?
 
Creating a Great Artifact gives +2 culture and +2 tourism
Creating a Landmark gives +1 culture and an additional +1 culture for each era (so if you're in the Industrial and it's in the classical it'll be 4)

To me, it seems the Great Artifact is probably worth it unless it's really old. In fact, it's possible for some artifacts to give more culture than landmarks.
 
What was the resource next to Ulundi. I know they said there was only one specific new resource this game, but I didn't recognise it.

Also, the jungles look very different, but maybe I've just never zoomed in this far (for both the resource and the jungle)
 
Wow, that was EXACTLY what I thought it would be ... i.e. practically nothing new information wise. I figured, they're going to do this. Next week will be world congress, and they'll talk about resolutions that they've already stated.
 
The buildings the English are working on seem to be beta images (just plain text). Can anyone read what they say?
