Gondwana is one of the continents.

This IGN article mentions that Rome can become the Normans which in turn can become England. Also mentioned is that the United States is a Modern Age civ. This PC Gamer article mentions the return of religion and natural disasters. Both further mention how you initially settle towns which can be specialized and/or converted to cities. There's a limit on the amount of towns/cities you can have. Buildings lose all their bonuses when you enter a new age and should be replaced with new buildings. From the screenshot it looks like wonders provide 5 hammers (at least Terracotta Army and Mausoleum of Theodoric seem to).

With so much chaos:
View attachment 700182
One of the Crisis referes to an "infected settlement", which implies some sort of Plague or Sickness mechanic (this includes the entire Crisis system which seems to have been utterly overlooked in discussions)

something i’ve found very interesting is how much of these base game features have traditionally been expansion add-ons. I wonder if the new model is to monetize primarily leaders, civs and cosmetics, and make the core gameplay more static throughout the game’s lifecycle

This looks like the Forbidden City, which seems to be missing from your list. I don't know if that to the right of it could also be a wonder, and if so, if it has been identified (Ravenna mausoleum under construction?)

 

[Giskler]

You still have St. Paul's Cathedral listed, but we think it's more likely to be El Escorial:

Information about Napoleon’s leader abilities from the 2K Website:

Spoiler Emperor Napoleon :

Napoleon's Emperor Persona specializes in commerce and military might, with a new Unique Ability: Empereur des Français, which reduces the Trade Route capacity for a target civilization and causes massive Grievances. He also gets bonus Gold per Age for every leader he's Unfriendly or Hostile with, but less Gold per Age for every leader who sees him as Friendly or Helpful.

Spoiler Revolutionary Napoleon :

Napoleon's Revolutionary Persona specializes in culture and military might, with a new Unique Ability: La Grande Armée, giving all army commanders extra movement and granting Culture each time he defeats an enemy unit.

Wait, what? Your ability as Emperor Napoleon is to select a civ (once per age? every 10 turns?) and magically hinder them? That's a level of interaction that we haven't seen before!

Also interesting that the bonus gold is "per Age" and not "per turn."

And honestly - the naming is awful! Why is Napoléon's ability called "Empereur des Français" when he's leading Buganda?

 

[Uberfrog]

We have seen that various acts of sabotage are possible via the diplomacy screen, so not too outlandish, but I agree it is something new to the series.
