The top one looks like a painting whereas the bottom one looks computer generated.

nah, it seems like closeup of city view...and perhaps showing level of happiness or something....just guessing..where the first screen is what your city looks like if they are dying of scurvy and the second one if they are fleecing neighbouring markets...
dunno...

What are all those little circles above the units flag?

Some have 1, some have more. One even has 7.

If so then 4 seems to be the max. number of promotions.

Why 4?

I count 3 units that have more than 4 dots...

It's the number of other units in the square, of course.

Checking on that 13 pop sized Spanish city, a thought struck me. I've been wondering what all those little groups of houses around cities meant... How about that such a small village shows the player that that tile is worked but not 'terraformed'? (no mill, farm, whatever on the tile).
Firaxis did tell us offen enough that a player can see the worked tiles by it's animated terrain, but empty tiles can hardly show animations so perhaps this is their solution for that?

I do like the small villages between the actual cities (see first screenshot) if that is what they are off course.
it may be superficial but it adds to the reality of the game

I'm not too fond of the 'throne room' but hey that is just marginally important

All in all, those screenies look much better than before.

Does it mean that Fraxis really re-scaled the units, or you just can pick an option to size, say "large", "very large" "humongous!"?

you mean in the options menu?

in the actual files you just move the numbers around.

Yep, in the options menu. Well, I hope so, would be easier...

	Put an end to popups!

err... on second thought, i think i can figure it out

Perhaps it indicates if a unit has spent his turn or not ?

Am I the only one disappointed by these screenshots? With the release date appoaching, I was really hoping that the graphics we'd seen so far were placeholders but it doesn't look to be the case...

The roads look positively amateurish, the trees look like they've been cut/pasted onto arbitrary terrain... okay, a few buildings look okay, but compared to games like Age of Empires/Rise of Legends, these look pretty dire.

Please - no comments about how it's gameplay that matters; everyone knows that but there's not a single reason why you wouldn't want to have both (and have enough options to allow low-end machines to run it). A film director doesn't decide to cast a bunch of jokers as soon as he's got a great script - its all about the complete package!

Very disappointed with these latest screenies...

Civilization might not be a fast-moving game like Doom3 or something, but it's possible that the screenshots are insufficient to convey the game as played. They may also be showing the game with lower graphics settings than are possible so as not to disappoint people with older graphics cards.
