So, I'm 100 turns into my first match... and so far it's just a mix of pure awesomeness and trainwreck-situations alike. 
Here are my Highlights, feel free to comment or add your own:
- Well - a positive thing first: I just LOVE the start of the game now. The feeling of "loneliness", the huge, untamed world that lies ahead was so much denser in that game than Beyond Earth ever was. Not sure if it's because I don't really know what I'm doing yet, or if it's the combination of not meeting all leaders instantly and actually wanting to move out into the world, but either way - that feeling was just awesome.
- Questionable: All AIs hate me.
I'm playing on Apollo and literally like... 90% of all Communiques I get are negative. Which is obviously because the AIs have huge bonuses and I started on Sea, so my start was rather slow. Not sure if that's intended to work like that - but at least in this very first game I don't see how I could maintain positive relations to anyone. Except for... Brasilia! Who I actually only met on turn 90 or so, while I was rolling over Pan Asia. He actually liked that... I think we're going to be BFF.
- Horrible: Combat AI. <Insert drawn out laughing here> I can't even start to explain how brokenly dumb Pan Asia was. So they start on land. Expand into the water. Don't build any boats, instead only produces land units. Annoys me with a Communique of how weak my army is. I attack with like... 7 melee boats. And the AI embarks all of their land units to be slaughtered.
- Positive: Pan Asia actually greeted me (Korea) with what seemed to be a personalized - and actually rather hostile - text. Something like "We know who you are and are prepared to deal with you." - that was awesome.
- Ocean Cities are probably as bad as I assumed.
- Integr is telling me that I need to feed my refugees for the third time now and that they also had problems with feeding them until they finally found ways to solve it. Seems like Frau Merkel wasn't too successful at managing the refugee crysis in that reality.
