See here. "Religion has been designed so that not every civilisation in the game will be able to access it. In a 10 civilisation game, only about 5 will be able to start a religion."
Yeah, but the writer of that article wasn't certain exactly how this is implemented, thus "Religion has been designed so..." while the advisor text seems to say it is simply a hard cap.
EDIT:
Thinking about it, I suppose using a hard cap is the only way to limit the amount of religions. Since the cost of founding a religion is a Great Prophets, and nothing else, so without a hard cap, nothing stops each civ from founding its own religion.
I believe that's the lancer.First screenshot: What's that unit garrisoned in Attila's Court?
I think we can pretty much confirm 2 "new civilizations":
Britain
Leader: Queen Victoria
UU1: Mark V
UA: Get extra spy
Huns
Capital: Attila`s Court
You can ask why so weird civilizations are in the game? Answer: Scenarios.

Where do you get Queen Victoria from? Boudicca is confirmed as a new leader in that screenshot, so I agree that they'll be a new civ, but Boudicca will be the leader.
I seriously doubt that Britain is going to be a separate civ, seeing that both Vicky and Liz were English leaders in Civ 4. Victoria is likely to be the leader in the scenario but I bet it will reuse the English civilization. Wouldn't be it stupid to have two Londons on the same map? I don't presume the devs would be so ignorant. Besides, you can see the Mark V in Dutch hands as an ordinary unit.
Very unlikely (unfortunately ).
...of the Celts.
That combined with the article referring to the British makes it pretty clear to me, and the double London issue can easily be solved by having the British version called Londinium.Kenneth Jackson concludes, based on later development of Welsh and Irish, that it derives from the Proto-Celtic feminine adjective *boudīka, "victorious", derived from the Celtic word *bouda, "victory" (cf. Irish bua (Classical Irish buadh), Buaidheach, Welsh buddugoliaeth), and that the correct spelling of the name in the British language is Boudica, pronounced [bɒʊˈdiːkaː] (the closest English equivalent to the vowel in the first syllable is the ow in "bow-and-arrow").
While i'm 99% certain there wont be a British civ outside of the scenario, we will already have 2 Istanbuls (although the Byzantine one will be called Constantinople).
Can't exclude the possibility, but I think most people associate her with Britain, not the Celtic as a whole. For example, the Wikipedia article about here refers to her and the rebellion as brittish troughout the entire thing, but only mention anything containing "celt" twice:
