Advanced Starts- you get points and use those point to buy cities roads, improvements, units, buildings and population points, the AI does the same thing. They also said that you'd be able to use this feature for scenarios.
Espionage- You can steal and blow stuff of your opponents up with your points.
Thats pretty much the first half, i dont want to go into the Afterworld part

Why don't you want to go into the Afterworld part? Are you disinterested in it, too? 
I thought so. Many of the Warlords scenarios were used to showcase some of the new Warlords game features (vassals, GGs, etc.) so I'm not surprised that there is a scenario based on the corporation feature.

That explains why there were Trebuchets in Rise of Rome.

When I got Warlords the first thing I did was play the Barbarian scenario. I honestly don't think I would have learned to appreciate Trebuchets so quickly if I hadn't as they are pretty much essential for taking out cities in that scenario.

Anyone else thinks this might lead to the last civ being the Swahili? An African trading civilization which traded with the middle East. Like the HRE, they may have saved themselves work by designing the same civ for a scenario and the epic game.

Very interesting. I wonder what kind of trade guilds. I don't think they were any organized trade guilds outside of europe as build as the hanseatic, medicis, or fuggers but I may be wrong. They may have to be "creative". Which might be simlar to trebuchets in the rise of rome.

They did confirm that espionage had to be powerful enough to rival science and culture, and that it would be essential to the game. Which was common sense, but it's good to know for sure. They still haven't said HOW it will be so powerful, but I'm betting that will be something they devote a whole article to at some point.

They will deny you access to some current F8 and F9 info till you pay for it, via Spionage points, isn't it?
Besides tactical nukes, poison water and some stuff from Civ2's Spy unit...

Hope it's a lot more than that. I'd give up a bit of info from the F8 and F9 screen most of the time if it was a choice between that and more technology or money. I'm thinking it has to be a LOT more than that.
