Also Christianity, not sure about Buddhism, Islam or other religions, is apparently being split into differeing groups such as Orthodoxy etc.

During my hands-on time with the game, I started fresh as Casimir III of Poland, one of the nine new leaders in Brave New World, and immediately settled my first city and sent my Warrior off to scout the area. Right off the bat, once you've researched Animal Husbandry, you get access to the new Caravan unit, a civilian land unit which can create Trade Routes between cities. As a civilian unit, the Caravan is susceptible to attack from any enemy unit. Because of this, it is imperative to ensure that their paths are clear before you establish a Trade Route. Trading with a City State or friendly civ will give both of you bonus gold every turn based on the resource diversity between connected cities. Alternately, you can set up the Trade Route within your empire, which allows you to funnel either food (with a Granary) or production (with a Workshop) to another of your cities. The best part of these internal Trade Routes is that you're actually producing these resources, rather than draining them from the city of origin. Where the internal Trade Routes are fairly straightforward, you'll need to be a bit more careful who you establish international Trade Routes with. If you're more technologically advanced than your trading partner, they'll be getting free science every turn from your Trade Routes, but this goes both ways, so if you can set up a Trade Route with an advanced civ, you'll be able to get some free science out of the deal. Additionally, Religious Pressure and Tourism (which we'll get to later) move along these established Trade Routes, so be wary of connecting yourself to another civilization's holy city, unless you're okay with being converted. You've also got a limited number of Trade Routes available to you, depending on your leader, tech level, and wonders, so use them wisely.

If they are making trade more important...I'd like to hope that Venice is in. And then maybe another South East Asian civ. Khmer or Vietnam, And then a 4th...if Brazil is in why not Mexico.

That would essentially equate to 3 Civ's from the Yucatan region. People got their jimmies rustled over Polynesia being added but I'm much more for under-respresented regions being added rather than another from the same country. Iroquois and America fair enough, but Mexico would be pushing it.
