Minor Civs are basically Civ5-style city-states, except they can have multiple cities. They also ACTUALLY get involved with conflicts they are dragged into. Minor Civs can also found religions and spread them, but of course, they cannot win the game. They also have no bonuses unique to their civ. Now, we'll list abilities for each playable civ:
America: -33% unhappiness from number of cities. +1 science in every city.
Canada: +1 extra food from tundra tiles. Double movement and sight in tundra.
The Haida: +1 extra food from coast tiles. Sea resources provide +1 culture and +1 faith.
The Sioux: Double movement, double sight, and +1 extra production in plains tiles.
The Aztecs: Earn faith and culture for each enemy unit killed. Double movement in jungle.
The Incas: Roads have no maintenance on hills. May move over mountains, but ending a turn on one costs 50 HP damage.
Brazil: Golden Ages last 100% longer. Tourism output is increased by 100% during golden ages.
The Iroquois: Double movement in forest and any tiles adjacent to a lake tile.
France: +30% production bonus towards wonder construction in the capital.
Spain: Natural wonders provide double yields and a gift of gold when you discover them.
England: Start with 1 extra spy. All units get a 10% combat bonus in foreign lands.
The Celts: +1 faith for every forest.
The Vikings: No movement cost to pillage, double movement on rivers, naval units may cross oceans once compass has been researched.
Germany: Pay 25% less for land unit maintenance. When capturing a barbarian village, there is 66% chance that the barbarian in that village will turn to your side.
Russia: Strategic resources in your territorry provide double quantity.
Rome: Military units may sacrifice themselves to found cities. New cities start with all the buildings that exist in your capital. May raze enemy capitals.
Greece: +2 tourism from pre-medieval wonders
Arabia: Your trade network spreads religion twice as effectively and imports twice as much happiness. Oil resources in your territorry are double quantity.
Ottomans: All naval units start with the prize ships promotion. Pay half maintenance for naval units.

NEW FEATURES
Architecture/Background Music
In Civ5 architecture and background music were drawn from a set. In Civ6, this is changed. Architecture and music are now unique to each civ.
Victory
Science (Colonize 3 planets)
Culture (Become influential on all civs with your tourism)
Domination (Have at least 50% immigrant population in every civ)
Conquest (Be the last MAJOR civ to hang onto their original capital)
Diplomatic (Win the World Leader vote at the UN)
Religion (Convert every city on the map to your religion)
Time (The Year Gets To 4000 AD)
Immigration/Emigration
Once a civilization has discovered astronomy, they may occasionally send immigrants to civs that also have astronomy. (Minor civs can send immigrants to other civs but cannot recieve immgirants from other civs). Immigrants are sent under these circumstances: Unhappiness, losing more gold than you are making, ideological revolt, etc. Immigrants will go to civs that are allowing immigrants from the home civ. You can allow or un-allow immigrants from specific civs on the immigration tab. Immigrants will greatly enhance the food and production output of the destination civ, and make the home civ closer to domination victory. Domination victory is achieved when all civs in the game have at least 50% immigration from the winning civ. Under the immigration tab, there is an ethnicity tab, you can check this for ALL civs in the game. It gives the percentages of the home civs' immigrants compared to the total immigrant population. The more immigrats that are sent over from one civ, the more that civ's precentage goes up. The only negative affect of immigration is that regardless of the destination civ's religion, the immigrants will take their home civ's religion with them, so either have inquisitors on hand or deal with multiple religions.
Trade Networking
This kind of builds on the trade routes concept from civ5 BNW. Sea trade routes themselves have largely stayed intact. Now, we will go over the new benefits of both land AND sea trade routes: Trade routes can now export/import happiness. All civs involved in the trade route get +1 happiness from all the luxuries near all the stops on the trade route. Now, we'll explain about trade networks (just land trade routes). In order for a trade route to work, there must be a road between the home city and the destination so the caravan can move along the road. To allow for this, workers can now move between civs without open borders. Caravans have a range of 10 tiles. They can go farther than that if they make a "stop" in a city or at a carvansary improvement within that 10-tile range. For xample, it's possible to cross an entire continent with the same caravan if the trade network (roads, cities, and caravansaries) extends far enough. Caravans also give +1 happiness to all civs involved in the route from all the luxuries near these stops. Like civ5, trade routes also spread religon, but now, the religion goes to all the stops and the religions of all the involved civs are carried on the trade route. The gold all the involved civs receive from this trade route is the net gold output of all the stops in the trade network.
Tourism and Great Works
Tourism and great works are pretty much exactly the same as civ5 bnw, but the great works you build ACTUALLY have to be from your civ in real life (for example, The Haida can't make the Mona Lisa, but the Romans CAN make the Mona Lisa). Same rule applies to artifacts.
City Zoom
This is a pretty useless but cool feature. It appears on the city screen and lets you zoom into the city to get a view of the buildings, wonders, and military units in that city.
Warmonger Penalties REMOVED
Warmonger penalties do not exist until the Atomic Era. Instead, the other civs will become afraid of you and give into tribute demands to ensure their own survival.
Transportation Ships
Unlike civ5, embarkation does not exist in this game. Instead, you may stack up to 5 land units on the following naval units:
Galley (Ancient)
Quinquereme (Classical)
Galleass (Medieval)
Galleon (Renaissance)
Transport (Industrial)
New Space Age and Science Victory
Once a civ researches Future Tech three times and has completed the spaceship parts, the world enters the New Space Age. Once you research the Fast Space Travel tech, you may build send Starship units off the home planet to explore space. You may send Space Explorer units onto these Starship units to land on other planets (there are 5 equally-sized planets in the game). On these planets, there are never-before-seen resources, never-before-seen terrain types, never-before-seen natural wonders, and never-before-seen alien civs! To win a science victory, you must conquer all the alien civs and establish your own cities on 3 of the planets in the game (excluding the home planet). Once you research the Cheap Space Travel tech, you may build and send space settlers to build new cities on planets. Also, you can send military units into space with the Cheap Space Travel tech.
Barbarian villages
In the game, we are combining the barbarians of civ4 with the barbarians of civ5. In this game, barbarians live in villages. Like encampments, they spawn randomly without settlers and will be disbanded if a civ's unit enters them. However, once this happens, they will turn into a new city. These cities can be razed, annexed, or puppeted. Villagers spawn barbarian units every few turns and will always try to have a barbarian unit inside of it to defend it. Barbarian cities have names and will keep those names when they are converted to cities.
Religion
Religion is pretty much the same as civ5 BNW except for three things: One, there are many more foundable religions, two, minor civs AND major civs can found them, and three, if a civ converts all the cities on the map (even alien ones) to their region, they will win a religious victory.
Foundable Religions and civs who prefer certain religions
Wakan Tanka (Sioux)
Razana (Madagascar)
Kachina (Navajo)
Orenda (Iroquois)
Sgaanaang (Haida, Inuit)
Psedjet (Egypt)
Hellenism (Greece, Rome)
Pachaism (Inca)
Amatongo (Zulus)
Protestantism (Germany, England, America, Canada)
Catholicism (Austria, Spain, France, Armenia, Poland, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Panama)
Orthodoxy (Byzantium, Russia, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania)
Voodoo (Yoruba, Benin, Caribbean)
Shinto (Japan)
Taoism (China)
Buddhism (Siam, Burma, India, Vietnam)
Hinduism (India)
Islam (Arabia, Indonesia, The Ottomans, Mali)
Forn Sior (Vikings)
Judaism (Israel)
Druidism (The Celts)
Masai Polytheism (Masai)
Kongo Polytheism (Kongo)
Aztec Polytheism (Aztecs)
Tengriism (Mongolia)
Zoroastrianism (Persia)
Confucianism (Korea)
Polynesian Polytheism (Polynesia)
Technological Eras
Technology and eras work differently than civ5. The world enters the ancient era when the game starts. You may do ancient era techs all through the game if you haven't discovered some, but you cannot do the classical era's techs until 750 BC, when the world enters the classical era. The world enters the medieval era in 476 AD, the world enters the renaissance era in 1492 AD, the world enters the industrial era in 1776 AD, the modern era in 1914 Ad, the atomic era in 1918 AD, the information era in 1945 AD, and the new space age when somebody researches future tech three times AND completes their spaceship. Techs take SUPER-long to research in the ancient era, but get faster as the game goes on. However, production, culture, and faith go at their normal rates from the beginning of the game. This self-sufficient pacing takes away the need for game speeds.
Terrain Types and Features
Like Civ5, the terrain looks slightly different depending on which continent set they belong to. In this game, Australia is added to the continents list. Also, rivers appear ON tiles instead of next to them and they add food to their tile. Cities CAN be built on rivers. Here are all the terrain types it the game and their yields:
Desert (nothing, not farmable)
Snow (nothing, not farmable)
Semidesert (1 production, not farmable)
Tundra (1 food, not farmable)
Tropical Island (2 food 1 production, farmable)
Plains (1 food, 1 production, farmable)
Grassland (2 food, farmable)
Marsh (1 food, farmable with masonry)
Coast (1 food, not farmable, impassable for land units)
Ocean (1 food, not farmable, impassable for land units and pre-renaissance naval units, except for Polynesia)
Now here are all the features:
River (+1 food to their tile)
Atoll (+1 food and +2 production to their tile)
Hill (-ALL FOOD from their tile, +2 production to their tile)
Oasis (+3 food and +1 gold to their tile, ONLY FOUND IN DESERTS)
Flood Plains (+2 food to their tile, ONLY FOUND ON RIVERS. NO LONGER EXCLUSIVE TO DESERTS.
Lake (+2 food to their tile)
Delta (+5 food to their tile. FOUND ONLY WHERE RIVERS MEET COASTS.)
Mountain (-ALL YIELDS FROM THEIR TILE. IMPASSABLE TO ALL UNITS)
Savannah (+1 food, +1 tourism to their tile. ONLY FOUND ON PLAINS)
Australian Outback (+1 food, +1 tourism to their tile. ONLY FOUND ON DESERT)
Glacier (-ALL YIELDS FROM THEIR TILE. IMPASSABLE TO ALL UNITS. ONLY FOUND ON HILLS)
Jungle (+2 food to their tile, -1 production from their tile)
Forest (1 food, 1 production, ONLY FOUND ON GRASSLAND, PLAINS, SEMIDESERT, AND SCRUB)
Scrub (1 food, ONLY FOUND ON GRASSLAND AND PLAINS)
Ships on Rivers
Naval Units (including Cargo Ships) can now also move on tiles with rivers on them. Any land units on these ships can disembark onto the land portion of their tile with the disembark button.However, sea resources cannot spawn on tiles with rivers, and naval units can be built in cities on rivers with no coast. However, you cannot build lighthouses, harbors, or seaports in cities on rivers with no coast.
New Food and Production System
Instead of food and production sources only being workable by the city who owns them, they are instead shared with all your cities (that have city connections with your capital), making bad city locations less of a problem.
New Start Bias System
Instead of matching civs to broad start conditions, this s going to make it more lifelike by giving them realistic resources and geography. For example, Greece starts in a coastal grassland peninsula with many hills and islands nearby. Also, they are placed near large quantities of Stone, Sheep, Marble, Olives, and Fish. I'm not going to do this for every civ as that is WAY too time-consuming, but the game-makers should get the basic idea.
Optimized Resource Distribution
Unlike Civ5 where there was a limit of about 3 luxuries per egion, resource distribution is now ENTIRELY RANDOM (except for in civs' starting locations)

War Elephant (Classical Era)
Crusader (Medieval Era)
Rifled Cannon (Industrial Era)
AK-47 (Information Era)
Social Policies, economic policies, and ideology
The SYSTEM of social policies carry over from civ5, but here's where it gets different. No policies have been removed and existing trees are unchanged (except honor has been completely re-done and a slight buff has been added to piety) and economic policies have been added. You adopt these the same turns that your culture fills up and you adopt social policies.
Social Policies, Ideology, and Economic Policies
(All social policy trees and ideology from civ5 remain the same, except piety gets a base bonus of +2 faith and +2 culture in the capital, and honor has been re-done)
Honor (Ancient era, gain culture from any unit killed, gain additional combat bonus fighting barbarians, +1 culture and happiness from military training buildings. Military training buildings cost zero maintenance)
Hall of Valor (Gain faith every time one of your units is killed)
Conscription (May stagnate a city for one turn to instantly train a new unit of your choice there)
Military Caste (+1 happiness from every military unit you own)
Military Tradition (+25% production towards military unit production in all cities. New units start with one free promotion, +1 culture from every military unit you own)
Professional Army (Cost of upgrading units reduced by 50%. Unit maintenance reduced by 20%)
Economic Policies (You are NOT forced to pick a policy from here every time you get enough culture.)
Barter (Ancient Era, +1 gold from every resource you own)
NO POLICIES IN THIS TREE
Serfdom (Medieval Era, +1 food, +1 production from farms, +1 unhappiness from farms)
Landlord-knights (After discovering chivalry, a knight will spawn every turn on a random farm of your choice during times of war, +1 happiness from every castle)
Noble Aristocracy (+1 happiness from every city)
Rent (+1 gold from every farm, all cities grow 1% slower)
Taxation (+1 gold per population)
Capitalism (Renaissance Era, +3 new trade route slots, eliminates the negative effects of the Serfdom tree)
Free Movement (All Cities grow at double rate)
World Empires 1 (Internal trade routes make gold as if they were international)
World Empires 2 (Build harbors 100% faster)
World Empires 3 (Double gold from all trade routes)
Slavery (+10 population in cities on a continent of your choice. -5 population in cities on a different continent of your choice. +2 unhappiness from plantations)
Cheap Immigrant Labor (+2 production and +2 gold from every 1,000 immigrant population. Specialists consume half the normal amount of food and create half the normal amount of happiness)
Free Trade (Converts all of your gold per turn to happiness)
Marxism (Industrial Era, +3 production per 1 population, ELIMINATES ALL EFFECTS OF THE CAPITALISM AND SERFDOM TREES. Receive all the culture spent on these trees.)
Planned Economy (All tiles produce +3 of the appropriate yield(s))
Collectivized Agriculture (+2 food from farms)
Government-owned Businesses (+100 gold in capital, may not make trade routes with civs that do not have this policy)
Government-owned Property (+2 gold per 1 population)
Forced Resettlements (May transfer population from city to city)
Planned Industrialization (Receive a free factory in every city)
Social Equality (+1 happiness per 1 population)
Other new features
Coal no longer required to build ironclads, this has been replaced with iron.
Civs automatically get the strategic resources for their unique units near their spawn. (Denmark was no fun in Civ5 without iron. This is designed to fix this type of thing.)
More Imperialist AI
Unlike Civ5, where the AI mostly concentrated on building and conquering cities solely in their immediate area the whole game, this feature will change that. Once they discover astronomy, it tweaks that aspect of their AI and they suddenly feel an incentive to build and conquer cities on continents besides their own. However, this makes the AI more prone to intercontinental warfare, so you should keep a good navy around late-game.
REST IS UP TO GAME-MAKERS

1. I'll post it on civfanaticsforums, where people WILL read it.
2. Do you think these are good ideas or not?

I like the ideas, although Id also suggest Civs than can morph across eras, so that ancient civs are really only ancient civs, and can choose to stay as they are, or morph to another civ with perhaps a civil war mechanic

That's essentially just putting yourself in danger, as if you're an ancient civ, a civ that's already colonizing other planets can fly in and destroy you like that group of leftover barbarians they just smashed. Not a good idea. Anyway, Civ was intended as a big what-if, so for example, we can do a what if The Haida or The Aztecs weren't so far behind but the Spanish and Americans were?

And besides, that COMPLETELY defies real-life logic.

garyriley1982 18 hours ago
perhaps I could have worded this better..... I mean someone can start as, say Egypt, in the Ancient Era, and once the next era is reached, they could choose to stay as Egypt, or as another Civ from the next era linked (or not), and the Civ splits - so people could choose to start in a specific era, or travel across history as a succession of Civ's, or attempt to stand the test of time with an Ancient Civ

Minor Civs are basically Civ5-style city-states, except they can have multiple cities. They also ACTUALLY get involved with conflicts they are dragged into. Minor Civs can also found religions and spread them, but of course, they cannot win the game. They also have no bonuses unique to their civ. Now, we'll list abilities for each playable civ:
America: -33% unhappiness from number of cities. +1 science in every city.
Canada: +1 extra food from tundra tiles. Double movement and sight in tundra.
The Haida: +1 extra food from coast tiles. Sea resources provide +1 culture and +1 faith.
The Sioux: Double movement, double sight, and +1 extra production in plains tiles.
The Aztecs: Earn faith and culture for each enemy unit killed. Double movement in jungle.
The Incas: Roads have no maintenance on hills. May move over mountains, but ending a turn on one costs 50 HP damage.
Brazil: Golden Ages last 100% longer. Tourism output is increased by 100% during golden ages.
The Iroquois: Double movement in forest and any tiles adjacent to a lake tile.
France: +30% production bonus towards wonder construction in the capital.
Spain: Natural wonders provide double yields and a gift of gold when you discover them.
England: Start with 1 extra spy. All units get a 10% combat bonus in foreign lands.
The Celts: +1 faith for every forest.
The Vikings: No movement cost to pillage, double movement on rivers, naval units may cross oceans once compass has been researched.
Germany: Pay 25% less for land unit maintenance. When capturing a barbarian village, there is 66% chance that the barbarian in that village will turn to your side.
Russia: Strategic resources in your territorry provide double quantity.
Rome: Military units may sacrifice themselves to found cities. New cities start with all the buildings that exist in your capital. May raze enemy capitals.
Greece: +2 tourism from pre-medieval wonders
Arabia: Your trade network spreads religion twice as effectively and imports twice as much happiness. Oil resources in your territorry are double quantity.
Ottomans: All naval units start with the prize ships promotion. Pay half maintenance for naval units.
Persia: Golden ages last 50% longer. Generate great people at double rate during this time.
Egypt: +15% production bonus to wonder construction in all cities.

NEW FEATURES
Architecture/Background Music
In Civ5 architecture and background music were drawn from a set. In Civ6, this is changed. Architecture and music are now unique to each civ.
Victory
Science (Colonize 3 planets)
Culture (Become influential on all civs with your tourism)
Domination (Have at least 50% immigrant population in every civ)
Conquest (Be the last MAJOR civ to hang onto their original capital)
Diplomatic (Win the World Leader vote at the UN)
Religion (Convert every city on the map to your religion)
Time (The Year Gets To 4000 AD)
Immigration/Emigration
Once a civilization has discovered astronomy, they may occasionally send immigrants to civs that also have astronomy. (Minor civs can send immigrants to other civs but cannot recieve immgirants from other civs). Immigrants are sent under these circumstances: Unhappiness, losing more gold than you are making, ideological revolt, etc. Immigrants will go to civs that are allowing immigrants from the home civ. You can allow or un-allow immigrants from specific civs on the immigration tab. Immigrants will greatly enhance the food and production output of the destination civ, and make the home civ closer to domination victory. Domination victory is achieved when all civs in the game have at least 50% immigration from the winning civ. Under the immigration tab, there is an ethnicity tab, you can check this for ALL civs in the game. It gives the percentages of the home civs' immigrants compared to the total immigrant population. The more immigrats that are sent over from one civ, the more that civ's precentage goes up. The only negative affect of immigration is that regardless of the destination civ's religion, the immigrants will take their home civ's religion with them, so either have inquisitors on hand or deal with multiple religions.
Trade Networking
This kind of builds on the trade routes concept from civ5 BNW. Sea trade routes themselves have largely stayed intact. Now, we will go over the new benefits of both land AND sea trade routes: Trade routes can now export/import happiness. All civs involved in the trade route get +1 happiness from all the luxuries near all the stops on the trade route. Now, we'll explain about trade networks (just land trade routes). In order for a trade route to work, there must be a road between the home city and the destination so the caravan can move along the road. To allow for this, workers can now move between civs without open borders. Caravans have a range of 10 tiles. They can go farther than that if they make a "stop" in a city or at a carvansary improvement within that 10-tile range. For xample, it's possible to cross an entire continent with the same caravan if the trade network (roads, cities, and caravansaries) extends far enough. Caravans also give +1 happiness to all civs involved in the route from all the luxuries near these stops. Like civ5, trade routes also spread religon, but now, the religion goes to all the stops and the religions of all the involved civs are carried on the trade route. The gold all the involved civs receive from this trade route is the net gold output of all the stops in the trade network.
Tourism and Great Works
Tourism and great works are pretty much exactly the same as civ5 bnw, but the great works you build ACTUALLY have to be from your civ in real life (for example, The Haida can't make the Mona Lisa, but the Romans CAN make the Mona Lisa). Same rule applies to artifacts.
City Zoom
This is a pretty useless but cool feature. It appears on the city screen and lets you zoom into the city to get a view of the buildings, wonders, and military units in that city.
Warmonger Penalties REMOVED
Warmonger penalties do not exist until the Atomic Era. Instead, the other civs will become afraid of you and give into tribute demands to ensure their own survival.
Transportation Ships
Unlike civ5, embarkation does not exist in this game. Instead, you may stack up to 5 land units on the following naval units:
Galley (Ancient)
Quinquereme (Classical)
Galleass (Medieval)
Galleon (Renaissance)
Transport (Industrial)
New Space Age and Science Victory
Once a civ researches Future Tech three times and has completed the spaceship parts, the world enters the New Space Age. Once you research the Fast Space Travel tech, you may build send Starship units off the home planet to explore space. You may send Space Explorer units onto these Starship units to land on other planets (there are 5 equally-sized planets in the game). On these planets, there are never-before-seen resources, never-before-seen terrain types, never-before-seen natural wonders, and never-before-seen alien civs! To win a science victory, you must conquer all the alien civs and establish your own cities on 3 of the planets in the game (excluding the home planet). Once you research the Cheap Space Travel tech, you may build and send space settlers to build new cities on planets. Also, you can send military units into space with the Cheap Space Travel tech.
Barbarian villages
In the game, we are combining the barbarians of civ4 with the barbarians of civ5. In this game, barbarians live in villages. Like encampments, they spawn randomly without settlers and will be disbanded if a civ's unit enters them. However, once this happens, they will turn into a new city. These cities can be razed, annexed, or puppeted. Villagers spawn barbarian units every few turns and will always try to have a barbarian unit inside of it to defend it. Barbarian cities have names and will keep those names when they are converted to cities.
Religion
Religion is pretty much the same as civ5 BNW except for three things: One, there are many more foundable religions, two, minor civs AND major civs can found them, and three, if a civ converts all the cities on the map (even alien ones) to their region, they will win a religious victory.
Foundable Religions and civs who prefer certain religions
Wakan Tanka (Sioux)
Razana (Madagascar)
Kachina (Navajo)
Orenda (Iroquois)
Sgaanaang (Haida, Inuit)
Psedjet (Egypt)
Hellenism (Greece, Rome)
Pachaism (Inca)
Amatongo (Zulus)
Protestantism (Germany, England, America, Canada)
Catholicism (Austria, Spain, France, Armenia, Poland, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Panama)
Orthodoxy (Byzantium, Russia, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania)
Voodoo (Yoruba, Benin, Caribbean)
Shinto (Japan)
Taoism (China)
Buddhism (Siam, Burma, India, Vietnam)
Hinduism (India)
Islam (Arabia, Indonesia, The Ottomans, Mali)
Forn Sior (Vikings)
Judaism (Israel)
Druidism (The Celts)
Masai Polytheism (Masai)
Kongo Polytheism (Kongo)
Aztec Polytheism (Aztecs)
Tengriism (Mongolia)
Zoroastrianism (Persia)
Confucianism (Korea)
Polynesian Polytheism (Polynesia)
Technological Eras
Technology and eras work differently than civ5. The world enters the ancient era when the game starts. You may do ancient era techs all through the game if you haven't discovered some, but you cannot do the classical era's techs until 750 BC, when the world enters the classical era. The world enters the medieval era in 476 AD, the world enters the renaissance era in 1492 AD, the world enters the industrial era in 1776 AD, the modern era in 1914 Ad, the atomic era in 1918 AD, the information era in 1945 AD, and the new space age when somebody researches future tech three times AND completes their spaceship. Techs take SUPER-long to research in the ancient era, but get faster as the game goes on. However, production, culture, and faith go at their normal rates from the beginning of the game. This self-sufficient pacing takes away the need for game speeds.
Terrain Types and Features
Like Civ5, the terrain looks slightly different depending on which continent set they belong to. In this game, Australia is added to the continents list. Also, rivers appear ON tiles instead of next to them and they add food to their tile. Cities CAN be built on rivers. Here are all the terrain types it the game and their yields:
Desert (nothing, not farmable)
Snow (nothing, not farmable)
Semidesert (1 production, not farmable)
Tundra (1 food, not farmable)
Tropical Island (2 food 1 production, farmable)
Plains (1 food, 1 production, farmable)
Grassland (2 food, farmable)
Marsh (1 food, farmable with masonry)
Coast (1 food, not farmable, impassable for land units)
Ocean (1 food, not farmable, impassable for land units and pre-renaissance naval units, except for Polynesia)
Now here are all the features:
River (+1 food to their tile)
Atoll (+1 food and +2 production to their tile)
Hill (-ALL FOOD from their tile, +2 production to their tile)
Oasis (+3 food and +1 gold to their tile, ONLY FOUND IN DESERTS)
Flood Plains (+2 food to their tile, ONLY FOUND ON RIVERS. NO LONGER EXCLUSIVE TO DESERTS.
Lake (+2 food to their tile)
Delta (+5 food to their tile. FOUND ONLY WHERE RIVERS MEET COASTS.)
Mountain (-ALL YIELDS FROM THEIR TILE. IMPASSABLE TO ALL UNITS)
Savannah (+1 food, +1 tourism to their tile. ONLY FOUND ON PLAINS)
Australian Outback (+1 food, +1 tourism to their tile. ONLY FOUND ON DESERT)
Glacier (-ALL YIELDS FROM THEIR TILE. IMPASSABLE TO ALL UNITS. ONLY FOUND ON HILLS)
Jungle (+2 food to their tile, -1 production from their tile)
Forest (1 food, 1 production, ONLY FOUND ON GRASSLAND, PLAINS, SEMIDESERT, AND SCRUB)
Scrub (1 food, ONLY FOUND ON GRASSLAND AND PLAINS)
Ships on Rivers
Naval Units (including Cargo Ships) can now also move on tiles with rivers on them. Any land units on these ships can disembark onto the land portion of their tile with the disembark button.However, sea resources cannot spawn on tiles with rivers, and naval units can be built in cities on rivers with no coast. However, you cannot build lighthouses, harbors, or seaports in cities on rivers with no coast.
New Food and Production System
Instead of food and production sources only being workable by the city who owns them, they are instead shared with all your cities (that have city connections with your capital), making bad city locations less of a problem.
New Start Bias System
Instead of matching civs to broad start conditions, this s going to make it more lifelike by giving them realistic resources and geography. For example, Greece starts in a coastal grassland peninsula with many hills and islands nearby. Also, they are placed near large quantities of Stone, Sheep, Marble, Olives, and Fish. I'm not going to do this for every civ as that is WAY too time-consuming, but the game-makers should get the basic idea.
Optimized Resource Distribution
Unlike Civ5 where there was a limit of about 3 luxuries per egion, resource distribution is now ENTIRELY RANDOM (except for in civs' starting locations)

War Elephant (Classical Era)
Crusader (Medieval Era)
Rifled Cannon (Industrial Era)

Social Policies, economic policies, and ideology
The SYSTEM of social policies carry over from civ5, but here's where it gets different. No policies have been removed and existing trees are unchanged (except honor has been completely re-done and a slight buff has been added to piety) and economic policies have been added. You adopt these the same turns that your culture fills up and you adopt social policies.
Social Policies, Ideology, and Economic Policies
(All social policy trees and ideology from civ5 remain the same, except piety gets a base bonus of +2 faith and +2 culture in the capital, and honor has been re-done)
Honor (Ancient era, gain culture from any unit killed, gain additional combat bonus fighting barbarians, +1 culture and happiness from military training buildings. Military training buildings cost zero maintenance)
Hall of Valor (Gain faith every time one of your units is killed)
Conscription (May stagnate a city for one turn to instantly train a new unit of your choice there)
Military Caste (+1 happiness from every military unit you own)
Military Tradition (+25% production towards military unit production in all cities. New units start with one free promotion, +1 culture from every military unit you own)
Professional Army (Cost of upgrading units reduced by 50%. Unit maintenance reduced by 20%)
Economic Policies (You are NOT forced to pick a policy from here every time you get enough culture.)
Barter (Ancient Era, +1 gold from every resource you own)
NO POLICIES IN THIS TREE
Serfdom (Medieval Era, +1 food, +1 production from farms, +1 unhappiness from farms)
Landlord-knights (After discovering chivalry, a knight will spawn every turn on a random farm of your choice during times of war, +1 happiness from every castle)
Noble Aristocracy (+1 happiness from every city)
Rent (+1 gold from every farm, all cities grow 1% slower)
Taxation (+1 gold per population)
Capitalism (Renaissance Era, +3 new trade route slots, eliminates the negative effects of the Serfdom tree)
Free Movement (All Cities grow at double rate)
World Empires 1 (Internal trade routes make gold as if they were international)
World Empires 2 (Build harbors 100% faster)
World Empires 3 (Double gold from all trade routes)
Slavery (+10 population in cities on a continent of your choice. -5 population in cities on a different continent of your choice. +2 unhappiness from plantations)
Cheap Immigrant Labor (+2 production and +2 gold from every 1,000 immigrant population. Specialists consume half the normal amount of food and create half the normal amount of happiness)
Free Trade (Converts all of your gold per turn to happiness)
Marxism (Industrial Era, +3 production per 1 population, ELIMINATES ALL EFFECTS OF THE CAPITALISM AND SERFDOM TREES. Receive all the culture spent on these trees.)
Planned Economy (All tiles produce +3 of the appropriate yield(s))
Collectivized Agriculture (+2 food from farms)
Government-owned Businesses (+100 gold in capital, may not make trade routes with civs that do not have this policy)
Government-owned Property (+2 gold per 1 population)
Forced Resettlements (May transfer population from city to city)
Planned Industrialization (Receive a free factory in every city)
Social Equality (+1 happiness per 1 population)
Other new features
Coal no longer required to build ironclads, this has been replaced with iron.
Civs automatically get the strategic resources for their unique units near their spawn. (Denmark was no fun in Civ5 without iron. This is designed to fix this type of thing.)
More Imperialist AI
Unlike Civ5, where the AI mostly concentrated on building and conquering cities solely in their immediate area the whole game, this feature will change that. Once they discover astronomy, it tweaks that aspect of their AI and they suddenly feel an incentive to build and conquer cities on continents besides their own. However, this makes the AI more prone to intercontinental warfare, so you should keep a good navy around late-game.
REST IS UP TO GAME-MAKERS

1. I'll post it on civfanaticsforums, where people WILL read it.
2. Do you think these are good ideas or not?

I like the ideas, although Id also suggest Civs than can morph across eras, so that ancient civs are really only ancient civs, and can choose to stay as they are, or morph to another civ with perhaps a civil war mechanic

That's essentially just putting yourself in danger, as if you're an ancient civ, a civ that's already colonizing other planets can fly in and destroy you like that group of leftover barbarians they just smashed. Not a good idea. Anyway, Civ was intended as a big what-if, so for example, we can do a what if The Haida or The Aztecs weren't so far behind but the Spanish and Americans were?

And besides, that COMPLETELY defies real-life logic.

garyriley1982 18 hours ago
perhaps I could have worded this better..... I mean someone can start as, say Egypt, in the Ancient Era, and once the next era is reached, they could choose to stay as Egypt, or as another Civ from the next era linked (or not), and the Civ splits - so people could choose to start in a specific era, or travel across history as a succession of Civ's, or attempt to stand the test of time with an Ancient Civ
