The loss of a number of turns of production is bad enough. If that's combined with having to salvage the half-built ruins, and expending a Builder charge to do it, that's rough!

I noticed something weird in the latest First Look video.
Notice Jakarta's border's just before, and right after, being conquered by Spain:
Spoiler :
What happened here? Why did Spain receive 4 extra tiles (circled in red)?
It could be just world builder mess. Extra units back this theory a lot.
If not, these could be some policy cards in effect.

I second this theory. World Builder shenanigans or policies.
Good point. So by conquering the city, Spain received an extra 4 tiles, a Pikeman, a Builder and a Trader!Where did all of these come from?
Could this be incentives to conquer city-states? Maybe some kind of religious belief?
well the civilian units were probably just captured... anyway, maybe there are

Yeah, hard to like that design decision at first glance. Wonders needing a tile and having terrain requirements was obviously to spread the wonders more evenly between civs. Is this a mechanic to encourage that even more? With this change I'll only start building one if I feel confident I can finish it. I mean, even more confident than in civ 5.

As mentioned earlier, in Quill's LP his failed wonder had a distinct ruins look to it, so presumably you can leave the tile for archaeologists to dig up later. The builder should not use a charge to clear the tile if you need it, though, agreed that that's too much.
The graphic for Whales appears to have changed to dolphins.
Which is both creepy and not particularly accurate (I don't recall whalers finding dolphins useful in any way).
I'm slightly disappointed that the Fleet just shows as a single vessel instead of showing both models.

I think this is truly great. I hate when the AI beats me on building wonders when it is just a turn or so left. Maybe this way you can use a portion of the wasted production for another wonder. If so, maybe you can save the production boost until you have the opportunity to build another wonder.

That's . . . weird. I mean, they could just push the dorsal fin back a ways, and then they could claim they're minke whales, which are still hunted to this day.

But the icon still shows a whale. A really strange thing to do.

Or it's a beaked whale.

Surely that's not final. Hopefully armies/fleets/etc will show more units than the base unit. For all the attention to art direction they've paid in VI it would be strange to not do something so obvious.

That's Hinduism, not Islam!
Also, with how incredibly cheap builders seemed to be in that build, maybe salvaging a tile isn't a big deal. And Wonders would still be overall less risky than before, simply because you'll have less competition when building them.

I noticed that you are missing Norway UB and Arab UB. Norway UB is Stave church and Arab UB is Madrasa. Their tooltips were shown in the video where Ed made his "Great reveal".

*Stave Church.
Okay.

Spoiler :
Still a weird choice--far less iconic than a baleen whale like a humpback, minke, or right whale...

Also the 2 new city-states (Jakarta, Trade and Kumasi, Cultural) and the Galapagos Islands NW from the Spanish video.
