Alien Units
Wolfbeetles
Notes: Seem to have nests similar in function to Barbarian Camps.

(Manticores)
Notes: Said to fire balls of acid from their tails.

Siege Worm
Notes: Like the sandworms of Dune or the Ohmu of Nausicaä, the siege worms are roving monsters that are indifferent to humanity, but may inadvertently destroy your improvements through their activities. Attacking a worm risks reprisals from other worms, and the worms do not recognize national boundaries, so your actions may affect your neighbors as well as your own people. Those who learn the ways of the worm may be able to use them for their own purposes, such as attracting them to their enemies' cities with Dune-style thumpers.

"When you kill the siege worm, you see its skull, and when you pick the skull up you may find a new quest thread that you can pick up and follow, and each time you complete an objective in that thread, you get a little bit of the fiction." - Will Miller

Generic Human Cities
Notes: Cities start as Outposts, which must be protected and sustained by Supply Routes for a certain number of turns before they mature into full Cities.

Floatstone
Notes: A strategic resource that is required for levitating units in the late game. It is available to any faction, but Purity-aligned factions can use it in unique ways. David McDonough: "[The Purity player] specializes in the float-stone, and they figure out how to mill it into a particular kind of ore that they can use to levitate truly massive objects. Their highest levels are the lev-tanks and the lev-destroyer, which is essentially a battleship that flies."

Firaxite
Notes: This glowing mineral is of special interest to Supremacy players.

(Volcanic Canyons)
Notes: Hexes near these canyons may contain geothermal vents that can be tapped for power generation.

Resource Pods
Note: Mentioned in the Gamecrate preview, these would seem to be goody huts scattered by the arriving ship (for unknown reasons).

I think the only thing that seems halfway decent about this is getting rid of happiness and having the outpost mechanic instead.

There's still hope for Bolivar of Brazilia, Gen. Kozlov of Slavic Federation and Polystralia...uless they will put aboriginal in charge. Franco-Iberia will probably have an algerian or other nigger as a leader.

Some info:
Stations
They will land over the first few turns and if they land near you, you may get a choice to influence their creation
Names: Banu Musa Theoretical Sciences Think Tank, McDonough Biomechanical Research Lab, Scyon Group Labs, Shackleton Geological Mapping Enterprise
"Remove Satellites" - One diplomacy option is to ask other civ to remove satellites over your territory
Research
There are two types of technologies Stem and Leaf. The Stem will be the general base technology (such as Synthetic Thought Stem) which will unlock different Leaf technologies for you to research (like Swarm Intelligence). You can chose to unlock these tech or continue further down the web (only researching the Stem Tech is needed to progress). there will be both horizontal as well as vertical connections allowing you to take multiple route through the web. (gc)

The last names of a few so-far unmentioned leaders are revealed: Bolivar (presumed Brazilia), Elodie (presumed Franco-Iberia) and Hutama (presumed Polystralia).
The difficulty levels are Sputnik, Vostok, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Soyuz.

First Chairman Yang with his inhumanity, then that Pandora yellow emperor who keeps cloning himself and now this chinese woman with "ME SO EVIL" look in her face. Is China STILL the boogeyman for the west? Because this is getting to be a cliche.

Leader avatars are one of the worst additions to the Civ series in anycase. They look like they wandered in from a Saturday morning children's show. I recall listening to the relative dignity of Leonard Nimoy's voice acting in Civ 4, contrasting it to the derpy leader portraits, and thinking that they should have hired William Shatner instead.

Wow, those leaders actually look sort of non-retarded. Were they just trying for really ugly, overexaggerated caricatures in Civ V? I mean, these aren't amazing or anything, but they're not out-and-out hideous either.

They are taking the Fiction part in Sci-Fi a tad bit too literally.

Because it's totally unreasonable that a country's largest minority and fastest growing demographic group could in the near/mid future elect someone to that country's highest office.

I can suspend my disbelief for hobbits and orcs but not this shameless attempt at pandering to the SJW. Hispanic and black people will simply self destruct in their own ghetto wars before they reach space age and everyone knows it.

In the far, far future we will have unlocked the secrets of the honeycomb and then the sky is the limit. I honestly don't understand this recent trope at all, when and where did it start?

This is probably by the point the Americans have given up any pretence of democracy in favour of unleashed state corporatism. Being head of "American Reclamation Corporation" would likely fall to someone more fitted for the job. Someone with more experience with these things.

And it's funny how badly the whites want their own demographical and hierarchical demise, at least in America, I cannot think of any collective suicide throughout history that is comparable. There was no war or any last straw that broke the will of the people, they will just slowly die out until they either are fully absorbed into the other populations or become extinct due to the low birthrates. What ever happened to you guys? You used to be pretty cool back in the day when you still had some dignity and self respect left. The throbbing megacock of the American and European empires of old has lost its erection and instead of trying to get it up again you go for a castration, why? This makes no sense to me.
