A few minor suggestions (and minor bugs).

1) When a city completes its production and asks you for a new order, make it so that you can over over the city in question to display what military units are currently in the city. I usually end up with Infantry and Machine Gun in every city at the late stages of the game, and when I am building these defenses (or ofense units) I often want to know what is in the city so I know what to build.

2) When founding a new city, don't jump to the next unit until you have made production choices for that city. It doesn't bother me much, but as soon as I found a city, the game jumps to the next unit, only to jump back to the city a few seconds later when it asks to produce a unit.

3) Music track selection. Sometimes I like the older tribal music better then the Bach and Beethoven soundtracks and would like to select them. Even better would be a built in MP3 player so you can select your own music.

4) When hovering over the "upgrade" button for a Unit, it shows the upgrade price. It also tells you to press ALT for all units, however nothing happens when you do. You have to actually move the mouse away and move the mouse back on the "upgrade" icon with ALT pressed to see the total price.

5) I can't seem to upgrade from my Military Advisor window. Put that back in. Even better, create a system where you can select to upgrade ALL units by selecting the upgrade for each unit type, and the total cost for the upgrade. Also allow upgrades to complete over time (e.g only 1000 gold per turn on upgrades) so you can maximize taxes for a while and the upgrades would be completed. In a series of turns.

6) The Slavery Civic and Organized Religion or Theocracy Civic needs an option to FORCE a city to one religion, possible at loss of current production 2 of its citizens and a 2 turn riot in that city before the peace returns..... Much like the Christians did in Medieval times and during the Age of Colonization of the America's. Believe in OUR God or die! Alternatively, in addition to the Missionary that you can send out, allow a "Bishop" or "Imam" or "Rabbi" or whatever to be sent to a city after a Missionary successfully brought a religion to a city to make sure the entire city converts to the belief the Bishop, Imam, Rabbi, etc comes to spread. Slowly, overtime that is instead of by force.
 
1) I had the exact same complaint until I noticed the "examine city" button at the top of the production list. Click on that and you'll find what you're looking for.

3) In sound options you can select a music directory which will play MP3 files. The only odd thing is that it will pause the music during diplomacy and switch to ingame music which is a bit annoying. It will also change to game music if you zoom in close to the map.
