I did buy it last week and have played a few hours.
It is quite different to previous civ-games. Reminds me a little of the old SSI games like "Panzer General".
It also seems a lot slower than previous games in some respects (e.g. the city states slow things down a bit), but I guess that's just because I'm new to it. It also seems strange to have a Civ game that doesn't encourage/demand that you expand really fast.
The big problem is that it is very buggy. I think it installs patches and such automatically through Steam, but my impression is that a lot of people are still waiting for a lot of issues to be resolved. In my case, the game ran fine the first couple of sessions, and then on the 3rd or 4th load the map was a grey/blue blur.
Overall, I think it'll be a good game, but am not even close to being convinced yet.
