Great People
It appears as if great people will be in the game(e.g. artists, scientists). Click here for the page. "Technologies, Wonders Of The World and Great People expand the scope of the game.".

How do you think this will affect the game? Does this make you happy?

I think it's more realistic - and a good idea. Perhaps give a free scientific advance when a great person makes a breakthrough, or add production bonuses...

I wonder what the requirements for getting one of these special people are? And can you steal them from other civs or lose them?
Maybe a big culture draws culture boostes like Michelangelo, but that would unbalance it because then civs with big culture would get even more culture.
Altogether very interesting.
