Pros

Cities utilizing their zone of influence with buildings instead of the buildings being only inside in the city tile itself
Diplomacy (more straightforward - using influence currency)
City states (how to become allies with them specifically by using influence)
Maximum number of cities (gives you significantly unhappiness in cities for each city over the limit, which can be increased with policies, leaders, ages, etc.) - less about just super expansion in the beginning
Not having to use/maintain workers is nice
Commanders are neat
Natural disasters are an interesting addition
Foundation leveling is neat
Leader leveling is interesting (see neutral/unsure section about leaders)
Graphics are nice
Cross platform idea is neat
Music is great
Decent narrator (I'll give it to her since it's a hard act to follow: Sean Bean & Leonard Nimoy)
Game having their own official Discord is a neat touch
Game designers listening to feedback and being responsive
Can set victory conditions
Now has a large and huge map
Change so by default independent encampments can be friendly instead of potentially being at war
Concept of ages is actually kind of fun

Cons

No way to see a (clickable) list of all military units (what if you have many unit spread out that are on sleep)?
Can't upgrade all military units of the same type at once
No auto explore for scouts
Can only assign resources to cities/towns when a new resource is found/new age
Requiring a 2k account to: get a leader to play as & to play online isn't great (perhaps it's for cross platform?)

Neutral/Unsure

Leaders independent of a civilization
Unlocking leaders (at least one requires paying extra money for the game)

Conclusion

The devs are listening to feedback on their Discord channel, so this game has a lot of potential to match civilization 5 and perhaps even surpass it as they fix bugs, modify features and give more advanced settings to starting the game.
