My first impressions:

I like the art style, I'll have to see about the leaders.
Gwendolyn Christie is a really good choice for the narrator.
I don't like the sound of there only being three ages, but maybe there's more to it.
Also not sure about switching civs mid-game, but being able to do things like a French Cleopatra might be fun.
Are they going to restrict this to avoid potentially offensive combos, especially in multiplayer? I'm thinking of things like using real-world colonizers for leaders of places they occupied (like an English ruler in charge of India and stuff like that.) At the very least it seems like they're inviting trouble unnecessarily.
The prices are completely bonkers, nearly $170 CAD for the Founders Edition! This is gonna be the first Civ game in a long time that I don't pick up on launch day.

Isn't civ a game about colonisation? If the stuff you described is offending to some, the whole game already is to them.

No, you're thinking about Sid Meier's Colonization

I thought the same thing. I'm guessing more will be added via DLC?

Which is a scummy move tbh

From what I’ve heard, the ages are going to be much longer and more game-changing that Civ 6 eras. Like age of exploration unlocking new parts of the world and new era appropriate civs to play with.
