At work right now, but just wanna confirm, do we only have the names of these GPs? No look at their abilities?

Just their names. They appear as auto complete options when people are looking things up in the civilopedia.
 
BREAKING NEWS :D

Great Prophet points cease to exist once you find a religion. Filthy had a policy in place, and the game forced him to change it after he found a religion (and policy is not there any more).

I was not checking all threads today so sorry if this is old.

From the screenshots Moysturfurmer posted above...

Nikola Tesla (Modern Engineer): This district's regional buildings provide +2 production and reach 3 tiles farther.
Melitta Bentz (Atomic Merchant): Increases trade route capacity by 1. +25% tourism to other civilizations you have a trade route to.
Alan Turing (Modern Scientist): Triggers the eureka moment for Computers and another random technology from the Modern Era.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (Modern Writer): "This Side of Paradise" (Writing) "The Beautiful and the Damned" (Writing)
Tang Seung-Eop (Google seems to say that his name was actually Jang Seung-Eop) (Modern Artist): "Saminmunnyeondo" (Landscape), "Rooster" (Landscape), "Ssangma Immuldo"(Landscape)
Franz Liszt (Modern Musician): "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1" (Music), "The Dance in the Village Inn" (Music).

Samori Toure (Modern General): Instantly creates an infantry unit with 1 promotion level.
Franz von Hipper (Modern Admiral): Instantly creates a battleship with 1 promotion level.
Robert Goddard (Modern Engineer): Triggers the eureka moment for Rocketry, and +20% production towards Space Race projects.
Rabindranath Tagore (Atomic Writer): "The Home and The World" (Writing), "The Gardener" (Writing).




Surprised they didn't go with Gatsby this time for Fitzgerald--that book's full of quotes that get me every time I read it.

One thing I will say is I'm happy to see more modern Great People, and them being from such diverse places.

I've got to wear glasses, actually. But thanks. :p


Also from that stream that I conveniently stumbled upon by clicking at random timestamps...


Alfred Nobel (Modern Scientist): Triggers one random eureka for a technology from the Modern or Atomic era, applies 20 free Great People Points towards recruiting all current and future Great People.
Mark Twain (Modern Writer): "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (Writing), "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (Writing).

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Modern Musician): "1812 Overture" (Music), "Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture" (Music).
Claude Monet (Atomic Artist): "Water Lilies" (Landscape), "Impression, Sunrise" (Landscape), "Haystack at Giverny" (Landscape)


Not sure why Monet is Atomic rather than Modern

Found
Adam Smith (Industrial Merchant): Adds +1 Economic Policy slot to your government.
Rani Lakshimibai (Industrial General): Instantly creates a Cavalry unit with 1 promotion.

Also James Joyce. Ulysses and Dubliners.
 
A few more

Irene of Athens (Medieval Merchant): Increases trade route capacity by 1. Grants 1 free copy of the luxury resource on this tile to your capital city.
Marie-Catherine D'Aulnoy (Renaissance Writer): "Fair Goldilocks" (Writing), "The Dolphin" (Writing)
Leonardo da Vinci (Renaissance Engineer): Triggers the Eureka for one random technology of the Modern era. Workshops provide +1 culture.
El Greco (Industrial Artist): "Adoration of the Magi" (Religious), "The Assumption of the Virgin" (Religious), "View of Toledo" (Landscape)
Alvar Aalto (Modern Engineer): This city provides +1 Appeal to any tile it owns.
John Rockefeller (Modern Merchant): Grants +1 Oil, a strategic resource. Your trade routes gain +2 gold for each strategic resource improved by the destination city.


Some of the era classifications on a few great people seem off, but oh well.
 
Also, Adam Smith definitely seems powerful for basically being another Big Ben with his economic policy slot


Some more...

Angelica Kauffman (Modern Artist): "Anna Maria Jenkins and Thomas Jenkins" (Portrait), "Portrait of Johann Joachim Winckelmann" (Portrait), "Sarah Harrop as a Muse" (Portrait).
Liu Tianhua (Modern Musician): "Liang Xiao" (Music), "Kong Shan Niao Yu" (Music).
Emily Dickinson (Modern Writer): "A Bird Came Down" (Writing), "Success is counted sweetest" (Writing).
Sofonisba Anguissola (Modern Artist--why is she Modern when she should be Renaissance???): "Three Sisters Playing Chess" (Portrait), "Philip II of Spain" (Portrait), "A Monk" (Portrait)
Sarah Breedlove (Modern Merchant): +25% tourism rate towards other civilizations you have a trade route to.
Leo Tolstoy (Modern Writer): "War and Peace" (Writing), "Anna Karenina" (Writing).
 
Interesting how "Art" was divided up into "Religous vs Art" and how now it's "Religous vs Portrait vs Scultupture vs Landscape."

Wondering how that's gonna play into the culture game.

Rajendra Chola (Medieval Admiral) Gain 50 Gold (on Standard speed) Military...

Marco Polo (Unknown era Merchant) Grants a free Trader unit in this city, and increases trade Route capacity by 1. Foreign Trade Routes to this city provide +2 Gold to both cities.

In this stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV76HqtBv8A at 14:28 you see Antonio Vivaldi and Hieronymus Bosch available in the ancient era. Couldn't they just grey those spots out until the first civ reaches renaissance/industrial era or generate the first points towards them. Also: why is Vivaldi the first? No Renaissance musicians?
For some reason, the Great Admiral is not allowed for recruiting. Because he hasn't discovered the sea? Or do you need a coastal city?

Togo Heihachiro (Modern Admiral) Grants 1 promotion level and +75% combat experience to a military naval unit
Mary Leaky (Atomic Scientist) Gain 350 Science for every Artifact in this city. Artifacts in all your cities generate 300% of their normal Tourism.
