i love this view and have needed something like this for a long time, it was too hard to see your cultural effect is some areas. i had missed this little nugget: "
Sid Meier’s Civilization® V will be available in North America on September 21, 2010" and
"Gamers who pre-order any version of Sid Meier's Civilization V from Steam will receive the downloadable bonus content, Cradle of Civilization Map Pack: Mesopotamia, for free when the game is available. The map pack will let players experience the traditional Western and Middle Eastern "Cradle of Civilization." The pack will include the Fertile Crescent with the Nile River valley to the west and extending east down the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys to the Persian Gulf. Leaders will be able to explore new terrain, cultures and conquests."
i love these mini's too, reaper made the odd ones i had picked up for modheim.
: We're proud to announce that there will be a special edition of Sid Meier’s Civilization V available for purchase on September 21st for $99.99 and internationally September 24th for £59.99 / €79.99 / AUS$129. We’ve packed the SE full of exclusive collectibles as well as behind-the-scenes content, including a 2-disc CD soundtrack of game score selections, a behind-the-scenes DVD at Firaxis, 5 metal figurines based on units from Civilization V manufactured by Reaper Miniatures, a 176 page hardcover artbook, and, of course, a copy of Sid Meier’s Civilization V."
Can't wait for this.

I'm not sure I can justify paying double for material that will only get in the way of playtime. I'm very tempted to get this through my Steam account so I can start DLing it at midnight and probably be ready to play before sunrise.
FYI, when I saw that Strat view on CivFanatics yesterday, it required a change in pants.... Best news, you can fully play the game in that view if you have an outdated videocard.
great, i can buy it and play in my basement on the old computer! Away from that damn crying....
