I'm shocked they didn't announce the last new civilization yet. We're sure we are getting one more, right? And they're not counting Spain as that additional one that we're all counting on? I believe I saw in a preview a while ago that there will now be 34 civilizations, and we already have 25 counting the DLC, so that would mean we are still getting one more, but I just am surprised they have bothered to leave just one unannounced still.

They've stated multiple times that Spain is NOT the 9th civ, so yes, there still is one more. I guess they still want to hold something back as a surprise.

Thanks for this; it's really helpful.
But... and I'm sorry if this seems a little nitpicky... please, please, please can we spell it 'Colombo'? We are after all not talking about the detective.

Anyone manage to make out the Quinquerime's description? Its melee because it has no ranged strength (13 regular), but I can't make anything out beyond "only Carthage may build it" 
I was about to say don't start this again, but it specificly says 'Crab' in the lower right, above the minimap. I concede
Pausing over combat with the African forest elephant I noticed a 10 percent negative modifier on the swordsman when it had an extra elephant nearby. Did not appear on lone elephant charge, so African Forest Elephant seems to match Moai Warrior in effect, but only occurs as flanking bonus.
I believe that forest elpehants also cause GG to spawn faster.

Autocracy opener: -33% unit maintenance and "receive 10 culture as plunder for each point of culture produced in the conquered city." Not sure what that means exactly - seems very powerful though! Finisher is +25% attack bonus for 50 turns!
Edit - Order opener/finisher look unchanged.
