I've been thinking about some things that could be added and changed to improve the game.
First, we need more era-specific animals. For instance, there should be dinosaurs at the beginning of the game, since we know from the Flintstones that early humans coexisted with dinosaurs, and they reappear after Cloning is discovered. In the Middle Ages, there should be dragons. You could capture a dragon with a knight and use a Tamed Dragon to build a Dragon Trainer. The dragons that you could train would have promotions such as Flight, Fire Breathing, and Stealth, which increased the probability of a successful Princess Capture mission by 10% (can only be used against monarchies).
Later in the game, animals are too weak relative to modern units, and that's why we need more animals especially for the later eras. Once Fission is discovered, Godzillas should spawn on the map, together with the Smog Monster at Ecology and Mechagodzilla at Robotics.
In the classic Civ games, spearmen had a fighting chance against tanks. Here, not so much. In my latest game, I defended every city with a Spearman and still could not repel Montezuma's blitzkrieg. We need an anti-tank spearman, or the existing spear-wielding units need an Anti-Tank promotion, which grants +4500% defense against tanks.
The Galactic Era is still somewhat devoid of good units, which can be particularly frustrating after spending a week plodding through the last few techs in the tree. Just as we have Jet Engine Factories and Helicopter Factories, Endogenous Euclidean Propulsion should allow UFO factories, which produce the UFO resource. In addition to allowing for some good attack units, having UFOs would allow 50% faster construction of The Pyramids and Stonehenge.
Whatever happened to the classic leaders in the Civ I leaderboard, such as Neville Chamberlain and Dan Quayle? They should be added to Caveman to Cosmos. They could have special traits which add new challenge to the game.
I also like the system of holidays, and I would like to see more be added, such as the following.
- Christmas: Requires Christianity. +1
, +1 
with Toys, +1 with Consumerism, +1 with Giant Plastic Santas.
- Talk like a Pirate Day. Requires Piracy. Has no benefit.
- Independence Day. For Civs that broke away from another Civ. +1, +10 Flammability with Firecrackers.
- April Fools Day: +5
