What We Know About Brave New World

We now know two more civs courtesy of the Firaxis panel at PAX East:

Brazil:
UU: ?
UB: ?
UA: ?
Leader: Pedro II
Colors: green and blue

Assyria:
UU: ?
UB: ?
UA: ?
Leader: Ashurbanipal
Colors: light yellow and yellow
 
Ur and Sofia are new city-states. And Riga.
 
- Great Works have replaced something along the top of the bar, anybody has a screenie of the top right UI (Espionage, Diplomacy etc. buttons) there were 4 buttons, they might've actually removed Advisors.

Ur, Sofia, Riga are new vanilla city states (by vanilla, I believe Riga made an appreance in Into The Renaissance)
Ur is a Maritime City State
Sofia is a militaristic one (or was it Riga?)
 
From Firaxis panel at PAX East:
Stajnia Książęc (stable replacement, effects mounted units, +1 gold and food on pastures)
Click to expand...
It is Ducal Stable. Gives +1:c5production: +1:c5gold:, + (if I noticed well) 15XP and + 15% production to/of mounted units.

Winded Hussar replaces Lancers.
 
4 Great Works were confirmed by the PAX gameplay footage

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Great Writer)
"Water Lilies" by Claude Monet (Great Artist)
"Tower of Babel" by Pieter Breugel the Elder (Great Artist)
"In the Hall of the Mountain King" (from the Peer Gynt Suite) by Edvard Grieg (Great Musician)
 
And faith/religion was still in the game. Strictly speaking, no way to tell whether it was in by default or just because they left G&K enabled, but I would suspect the former. Nothing in this demo was there by accident.
 
Some observations on re-viewing the demo:

1. When he showed particular wonders and buildings that had slots for Great Works and Artifacts, there were no specialist slots for Amphitheater, Opera House or Museum -- just Great Works/Artifacts slots. (Same city had a market and workshop, with traditional specialist slots filled.) Unanswered questions: If there are no artist slots in culture buildings, how will you generate Great Artists, Writers and Musicians? Will you produce them like other units? If so, what techs will unlock particular types of Great Persons?

2. Palace appears to come with one Great Works/Artifacts slot, Louvre had 4, Amphitheater 1 (Literature), Opera House 1 (Music) and Museum 2 (Art). In the Renaissance Era, each Great Work generated 2 Tourism and 2 Culture. The Tourism tooltip also said there was a 25% Bonus for Open Borders with France, which showed up in the Tourism overview screen (Brazil and Assyria were experiencing 18 Tourism, while France was at 22 (extra 4.5, rounded down)).

3. River tiles had no gold yields, as previously reported. But his cities all showed the regular trade route symbol (black triangle with 3 yellow dots), so old fashioned trade routes appear to still be enabled.

4. 2x gold multiplier for sea trade route vs land route.
 
I will do a big update latter today once we have all the info
 
Trade routes offer bonus gold if the destination has different resources from the point of origin. That extends to strategic as well as luxury resources.
 
I have updated with everything I have seen, If I have missed something or made an error could you please let me know
 
Riga and Sofia are also new city-states
Also, they showed La Venta and Zanzibar from the "old" city states, so those were not changed
(some of these could be important when calculating new civs. IE: if Belgrade is still showed as a city-state somewhere, there definitely won't be a Serbia civ)
