Happiness is universal rather than being specific to individual cities.
Dumbing down for the derps.

I don't know how this will work, on other hand I do like that they have no slider for money/research. Money really wasn't a factor in civs, everything just went into research and if you had some surplus, there was nothing to spend it on.
Other than that the only concern left that I have is the size of the maps.

Yeah they only seem to be showing the smaller continent map, so it's hard to gauge the size of the bigger ones.

Hexes + choke points = awesome

Yep, personally I was more impressed with trebuchet promoted to attack twice per turn 
So, after watching the broadcast, all I can say is I am very impressed and can't wait to play next thursday, tuesday is STEAM unlock for USA 
EDIT:
Civ 5 became available for pre-load on STEAM.

No. Since the game uses Steamworks protection Steam if required to play even a retail copy. So when it unlocks on steam is when it first becomes available for anyone.

Did anyone actually read the PC Gamer 93% review, it is filled with little gems like:
On Combat:
| Quote: | | This is a huge step forward for Civ warfare, but it isn't perfect. Having to move each unit individually rather than in stacked groups makes moving a large force around pretty tedious. A bigger problem is the AI, which can't grasp the subtleties -- it has a bad habit of wheeling its long-range artillery directly up to my melee units to say "howdy". On higher difficulty levels the AI simply gets a resource boost to overwhelm you with numbers, not more tactical smart. |
On Multiplayer:
| Quote: | | Playing against humans solves that problem, and Civ V's slew of flexible options let you scale a standard game's marathon length down to a more manageable couple of hours. Sadly, the battles don't work quite as well in the confusing, simultaneous turn-based multiplayer, where all players are moving all their pieces in no particular sequence at the same time. It's messy and unpredictable, especially coming from the orderly turn-taking of single player. |
On Diplomacy:
| Quote: | | That said, diplomacy could stand to be a little more transparent -- sudden declarations of war caught me totally off guard, like when, after a long period of peace and mutually beneficial trade relations with Gandhi's India, the little bald jerk allied with Japan to invade my Roman Empire without provacation. |
On City Management:
| Quote: | | You couldn't ask for better city automation tools -- if you want, you never have to do anything besides pick what you want your cities to build. It is a big divergence from past Civs, the population doesn't have individual moods, but all contribute to a national happiness level that can boost you into a super-productive golden age or drag you down into stagnation. |
I really didn't cut out much from the whole review except the other section on "Idiot-proof politics" (their heading not my comment), so I think there is a lot of hype and anticipation going into this 93% review. Much like Epsilon mentioned... I am also worried about the derpification of a classic, but I bet you see a metacritic consensus of the review sites in the high 90's regardless.
