Some people find Civ's economic system very unsatisfying and there have been some very detailed proposed alternative models. Most notably, Wimsey's economic model and Tradeperor's Unified Economic Theory. Such a drastic change would basically amount to a new game.
I have a friend who has been working on a Ceasar-style city-building game. It's almost complete but he needs more artwork to finish it off. He's willing to contribute the beginnings of a civ-like game in exchange for artwork for his city-building game. The required artwork would be simple pixel art (see the spoiler below for the existing artwork).
I could contribute some artwork myself (I did nearly all the existing artwork) but I wouldn't want to do it all, and I'd only want to bother if other people are enthusiastic about designing a new civ game with a better economic system.
If other people are interested, I imagine the agenda looking something like this:
Anyone interested in doing some artwork? Anyone just interested in this proposed project generally?

If other people are interested, I imagine the agenda looking something like this:
- Decide on what, roughly, a bare-essentials-but-still-enjoyable civlike economics-focused game would look like.
- Decide on what we would need from Mr Programmer
- Do the artwork to get as much as we can
- Find volunteer programmers to finish off the job OR
- If that doesn't work, use kickstarter.com to raise funds to pay Mr Programmer to create the bare-essentials game (he would be willing work for much less than industry rates, so it would be easy to raise enough money if enough people were interested)
