Just noticed this existed today. Thinking about getting it but have some questions that aren't answered, and my google-fu is not strong enough to find them, it seems.

1) Are the new wonders added to the main game, or just the scenario?

2A) If they are added to the main game, can you play a multiplayer match with someone who does not own the DLC (note: I've never actually played CivV mp, and probably wont any time soon, but I do want to know.)
2B) If they are just added to the scenario... can I play random maps?

3A) There are some pretty pictures of new units in the steam screenshots; can someone give me the context of them? Names, stats, is/if not UU's and what civs get access to them
3B) Are there more new unit/flashy unit art then just the spearmen and chariots?
3C)Are any of these units added to the main game/ can I rip off thier art for main game usage?

4)What civs are in the scenario?

Thanks in advance for anyone who answers!
 
1. The Wonders are added to the main game.
2.a As far as I know everyone has to have the DLC to utilize them, civs included, in MP.
2.b Theyre available for use in your standard run of the mill random maps.
3.a the new units were for the Scenario Civs, which include the Sumerians and Hittites. The units were a phalanx for the Sumerians and Heavy Chariots for the Hitts.
3.b Just the two new units from what I saw and the unique buildings. Ziggurat for the Sums and Lions Gate for the Hitts. Their traits were that Sumeria got a free scientist from Writing and 1 extra movement in tiles next to Rivers. The Hitts got xtra production from horses and double iron. Neither of these Civs are playable in standard games. They do not have unique leader portraits. There are icons for the units, buildings, and the "logo" for the Civs.
3.c The art should be available for editing with.
4. Egypt, Sumeria, Persia, Hitts, and Greece.
 
To clear more stuff, Sumeria's trait is called Land of Two Rivers, and it gives a free GS at Writing and units pay just 1 movement point when moving in a tile next to a river (eg ignore movement costs)

Hitties' trait is First to Iron and is basically Russia's trait, but it works only for horse and iron,
 
excellent - those chariots look like they could be perfect to represent Trojan chariots...
