It is the year 4000 before common era and you start with a handful of people eager to explore and conquer the world. I love the screenshot below, with the uniform black fog of war of Civ4 replaced by a beautilful cloud layer. While enjoying the music and atmosphere, the first challenge in the game waits: what to do with your warrior and settler.
In the opening there are few decisions to take, although with potentially game-changing consequences. I would define the opening of a Civ game, as the period from 4000 BC up to the foundation of the second city.
From what I've read there are quite a few changes compared to Civ4, for example:

From what I've read there are quite a few changes compared to Civ4, for example:
- Now every civ starts with a settler and a warrior, as well as the ability to produce scouts
- Going settler first is no longer an option, because to produce a settler, the city is required to have at least 2 citizens
- The economic dominance of a "worker first start" is moderated by several changes
