On Gamespy they were allowed to play it multiplayer at the Firaxis studio. They said on a small map they were able to play to conclusion in 90 minutes which is an enormous step forward over the past games. Who knows it might even bring back the strategy game once designers realize strategy and length don't have to go hand in hand.

The other impressive thing is that in every previous edition multi player was tacked on later. This time they sat down with it in mind. They also said that cultural warfare has been cleaned up a lot since III.
