Any word on possible futurist eras? After 6 generations, I always felt this is the enhancement needed the most. Civilization has always been about past history. It's long past due time to employ consultant futurists who extrapolate the future history of mankind--both optimistic and pessimistic. Add some space colonies. War waged by machines, not people. Global warming which is avoidable (as a game mechanic--regardless of where you stand on that for real). Have EU's and NATO's--not just bilateral defensive pacts. Resources later than aluminum and uranium, such as lithium and iridium. And diplomacy for handling "neutral" ground, such as Mars, Antarctica, or maritime law. And change late-game barbarians to something else--maybe upgrade encampments on the North Pole to city-states?
And change diplomatic victory from UN Secretary to leader of a worldwide "EU", and space victory from launching to achieving First Contact (hello SETI project). Would look forward to sending my archaeologists to Mars.
