Civilization: Beyond Earth info overload

[Geo]

Colony sponsors and leaders detailed ahead of E3.

Firaxis has, ahead of E3, revealed a ton of information regarding the recently announced Civilization: Beyond Earth. The images pertains to the faction leaders and the colony sponsers that'll be appearing in the game, which places players in charge of a fledgling civ as it struggles to get a foothold on a strange foreign planet. To avoid confusion we've added the text for each leader directly to the pictures below.

Some interesting background info to be found there.
Of course, as always, it's fluff.

No indication here whether the different factions will even have an impact on gameplay, much less what that impact would be.

If the +/- modifiers in fields like religion, growth, culture, military training, infrastructure, and science, are any indication, it won't be much.
Appearantly each seeding mission starts with these. Not sure if they're faction -or leader based though.
And it looks like its at most possible to mitigate or accentuate these modifiers a bit for certain factions when choosing the type of colonist and cargo of your starship.
