civ5 - Elvis is in?

according to this piece:

"they had me at the announcement of a new Civilization game, the latest in the classic turn-based strategy series of barbarian taunting, cow pastures, settling Elvis Presley in the bustling metropolis of “Awesometown” for a culture bonus, and if you’re interested, complete global domination."

I believe Elvis Presley would be a Great Artist.

I guess that would infer that Great People are in the game.

There will also be inherent defenses like a garrison and the ability to bombard nearby foes, but you’ll have to think long and hard about leaving your capital vulnerable for too long. Once that goes down, you’re toast.

Hmmm...I wonder if they mean that losing your capital means you lose the game. That would kind of suck.

I'm pretty sure it'll work similarly to Civilization Revolution. Which means that you get to play on.

About that quote referred to in OP, it sounds to me like it's more of a generic explanation of things you could do in the Civ games...
