Wired

The developers gave the example of something they call the siege worm, huge roving monsters plucked out of Dune. At the beginning of the game, they are completely indifferent to your species. You’re just another bug to them, but the catch is that their indifference can cause them to trample your cities or farms. If a siege worm is coming, you face a tough choice: Deal with the potential damage and stay on its good side, or attack it and risk the wrath of all wormkind.

It’s important to note that these alien species don’t much care about your national boundaries, either. To them, a human is a human. So if a neighboring faction is slaying siege worms, you’re going to catch the worms’ ire as well. Worse, the more you interact with these species the more they adapt their strategy and strength. All of this adds an additional wrinkle of complexity to interstate diplomacy. If your strategy depends on playing nice with the locals, you’ll need to find some way to make your neighbors exercise restraint.

TIME posted Part II just some minutes ago. http://time.com/70024/civilization-beyond-earth-interview/

(Part I was posted on April 12 as per the OP link: http://time.com/59516/sid-meiers-ci...alpha-centauri-sequel-youve-been-waiting-for/)
 
It's not exactly an official source of info, but the guy who runs this portal is a really trustworthy person:
http://well-of-souls.com/civ/civbe_overview.html

The portal gathers information about upcoming Civ titles and serves them in a very neat fashion. It's updated pretty much right after vital info is provided by official sources.

Arioch, big thanks to You!
 
@civilization on Twitter linked a 2K YouTube video which is new. I can't link right now because I'm on a mobile device. However, it elaborates just a bit on the Great Mistake. Apparently there is a conflict which destabilizes the world powers and the planet falls into a dark age. When humanity emerges, old borders and cultures are reconfigured.
