September 1 release makes me happy (if it's true). The earliest possibly fall release date, yay!

This possibly means that transports (as they are not combat units as per form)
can be stacked, too!

Off course ! explicitly said in the article.
Newegg is listing Civ5 as a pre-order with a release date of 9/22/2010.
No date on Amazon yet?

I'd be pretty sure those differing release dates are due to differing definitions of autumn. Some say it starts on the 22nd, some say it starts on the 1st, so they've most likely just put in the earliest date in the given time period. In one of the interviews from PAX East, Dennis Shirk was specifically vague about the release date, just repeating the 'Fall 2010' mantra when pressed. I think it was the Gamer Reaction one.

Something's stated about a flanking bonus in the GameShark article as well.

I feel horrified that Augustus is in instead of Julius. Julius is one of two leaders having been in all four vanilla versions (Gandhi being the other.) What are they thinking.

What about Montezuma, hasn't he been in every vanilla version too? And Elizabeth? And Alexander?

Oops. My bad. What's up with how he looks, though?

A lot of other civs could fill the "exotic" niche. But Monty's still my favorite leader from Civ 4.

I'm getting a little tired of having Elizabeth I as the stock leader for Englandin every Civ game. It'd be interesting if they branched out with someone more obscure like Henry VII or William I

It's probably off topic, but I just thought of something and I just HAVE to share it with you...
What if instead of one unit per tile and ranged_2tiles_archers they would keep stacking to a limit and during the battle game would zoom into a field representing 2 tiles (ex. defenders on a hill on the right side and attackers on a grassland on the left side) with the hex grid "Heroes of might and magic"- chess style and stacked units are placed in formations.
What do you think about that good people? Wouldn't it be cool
From the world hex grid zoom into battlefield hex grid... AWESOME!!!
That would keep it more realistic (which people are afraid of lacking in civ5 with those new mechanics being presented) and still no "stacks of doom" (lets say 5 units per tile, which would fall into formations during the battlefield zoom one unit per tile... well hex, where archer could bombard across the battlefield all they want.)
Please don't shut me down hard... be gentle

Well, I guess this would be a cool feature which would make the said frontier wars more intense.
However, from what I've heard from the developers, this would not match what they want to accomplish in CIV5. They want to make it "less military", with emphazising other ways of victory. Your proposal would enhance the focus on the military aspect of the game. It would make Civilization a small version of "Total War". Maybe I would like this preemphasis, but it may not fit in the main idea of the developers.
