In preparation of the New Era, are there any new mods that I should be supporting with my civs?

Support for Trait Randomizer would be cool. Though I'd understand if it were annoying due to it implying having to recode most every civilization.

The Future Worlds mod perhaps? I'd understand if you didn't want to tackle that one however.
If it isn't already, I would say support for Renaissance Era Revised.
Special Forces upgrade for Marine, by Kramer. That would be great for Putin's UU to upgrade to.

If you're gonna do RER, can you 1. Also reference the triggers mod and 2. Use hard values (SET Combat = 22) rather than increments (SET Combat = Combat - 2). This should hopefully avoid issues with the trigger system.

Calling all Arms! Calling all Arms!
With the extended vacancy of the Minister of Research, the Imperial Government of the Empire of JFD and Janboruta calls upon all capable (read: those that can spell) citizens!
Are you a capable citizen? Do you wish to serve your Emperor? Do you wish to receive an all expenses paid trip to the Emperor's good graces? Well, you're in luck! The Empire is calling upon one capable citizen to compile a City List for Constantine's Empire of Rome! Wooh!
Sincerely,
The Emperor.
*Constantine will most likely be next. But I need a City List, and Regalman and Viregel are shirking their imperial duty. Otherwise, I'll use Augustus'. Appreciate much

But the question remains: will the capital be Rome or Constantinople? And will the latter be called Byzantium, Nova Roma or Constantinople? (Please not the third option, it's the least accurate and only happened after he died).
Unless, of course, you plan on having a "change capital" decision that will rename the civ to Byzantium and the second city from Byzantium to Nova Roma.

Source? Wiki has conflicting accounts. Open to either New Rome or Constantinople (if not Rome - depends on the design focus, see Turks for e.g.).
Surely you mean "Theodora's but with Rome plopped at the beginning"?
seriously though if you do have to resort to using Augustus' at least add in Constantinople as the second city
Oh yeah, she exists. That would make more sense.

There seem to be too many conflitcing sources. I'd just name it Constantinople and call it a day, as much as I'm dying for a Roman civ with Byzantium in the list.

But it's still closer to his time. And emphasizes the probable focus. Obviously, the ideal solution is for a unique City List, which maintains these aspects, but it would make more sense to go with Theodora, as Constantinople will most likely be the capital - ergo, less work
No, not definitely. It depends highly upon my focus. Constantinople is Constantine's most prominent legacy, and if I can't allow the player to re-create that legacy, I'd like to uphold it myself (similar thing with the Turks - the capital isn't Istanbul, because I want to player to create Istanbul for themselves, as faciliated by Mehmed's design).

Damn, the one time I could theoretically help out and it's something I'm terrible at. Hooray...

I've got an idea: see which cities Rome and Byzantium have in the Fall of Rome scenario and make the list based on that. I'm not entirely sure Firaxis's chose the most important cities, but it should at least help.

One thing is certain, stronk Eboracum should certainly be in his city list
Both are close to his time, as he ruled the entire empire. Fouding Constantinople does not make him an eastern Roman emperor, I admittedly get very annoyed when people imply so when discussing Constantine. Which is why I was triggered into stopping lurking to post now.
While a new city list do would be the best choice, I only contest that Byzantium's city list would fit more than Rome's. The Roman city list ignores much of the empire outside Italy, yes, but that makes sense as it is above all a Roman Civilization and Italy is its birthplace. So it is a non-arbitrary restriction to the scope of that city list that makes very much sense. The Byzantine city list however is ill-suited for a full roman empire as it blatantly ignores half of the empire Constantine ruled in an arbitrary way, as at the time of Constantine there was no disparity between eastern and western halves.Obviously, the ideal solution is for a unique City List, which maintains these aspects, but it would make more sense to go with Theodora, as Constantinople will most likely be the capital - ergo, less work
Like...
Making a Russian civ and only including Novgorod's city list.

I wasn't implying that. I was merely conceding to the point that Theodora's city list would make more sense, based upon the knowledge that Theodora's time is closer to Constantine's, and the assumption that it would therefore include a more accurate representation of what cities were called then (even if omitting the West). Admittedly, however, I thought Theodora was from the 400s, so you're right, they are both roughly equal in time, so maybe cities stayed the same.
Fair enough. I took the first answer I got, simply because I have not given the matter much thought nor research, and so I assumed anyone would know better than I, but that was certainly irresponsible. So Augustus it is unless someone wishes to offer an equally compelling counter-argument.

I googled around for maps of Constantine's empire to get city names from and got these from all around the empire (maps used are listed at the end, since I didn't list everything):
