The size of the citizen icons is probably the easiest fix that would improve the game for me. The way they cover up tiles yields and energy prices makes me want to just leave citizen management up to the AI.

Musicians are 10X your tourism output on the turn they're born; not when they're used. I've heard Writers are 8X your culture when they are born, though I can't confirm that myself.

I'm pretty sure MadDjinn said in his preview that only ancient era techs can be found in an ancient ruin. Also the faith ruins are either enough to get a pantheon or 1/3 of a great prophet.

You always get the same options until ~20 turns in when you can choose faith. The options disappear from the list after you pick them, but they come back after 3 more ruins. Edit: Ninja'd :sad:

Do burial tombs come filled in the base game?

All the code is in the XML files, but it has been grayed-out, so it wont run.

I always thought it would be cool if instead of the Petra giving +6 culture at archaeology it gave a free Holy Grail artifact to put in a museum.

Pretty sure you can disable it in the options menu.

I thought it would make sense if it had a great literature slot, but the XML files show they don't.

Is there any conclusive evidence as to whether Motherland Calls is in the game or not?

Haven't tried it yet, but the option appears to be in the advanced settings menu where stuff like quick combat and no barbarians is located.

Yep, and if you pre-ordered BNW it will pre-download as well.

Yeah.

I meant that one of our possible plans was to all pre-download the game and start playing it the moment it unlocks at 23:00(our time zone). I'm sure we can all wait another day though.
