Since SD announced their collaboration with Oxide some time ago, I was wondering if GC3 was already based on the brand new Nitrous/Mantle game engine ? If so, we can probably expect some really amazing cinematic battles when beta 3 will be released...

No, GC3 does not use the Nitrous engine.
Q: Is Galactic Civilizations III using Oxide's new Nitrous engine?
A: Stardock is thrilled about our strategic relationship with the talented team at Oxide Games, but Galactic Civilizations III is not using their Nitrous engine. Not because we don't think Nitrous is amazing – we've seen it, and "amazing" is a good way to describe it – but because we've been working on Galactic Civilizations III for a long time, and Nitrous is still being built. Galactic Civilizations III runs on a custom, in-house engine we built specifically for the game.
Thanks for the quick answer, Rhonin! I guess we just have to wait, then, and currently I'm very pleased with the game rendering as it is.
