It would be a huge pity not to get a Third Expansion.
First, there are a lot of really great mechanics in RnF but which just need a bit more fleshing out - loyalty, a Governors, Government Plaza and Legacy Cards. These really don’t need any massive rework, but just a little more development would make these elements awesome.
Second, the game really needs Ideologies. The system in Civ 5 - social policies, and the way Ideologies and cultural influence affected happiness - were pretty solid. If these systems could basically be re-introduced, the mid to late game would be extremely solid.
Third, FXS have barely touched the possibilities of near future tech. There are lots of solid ideas from BERT that could be implemented, particularly ocean cities (which would be even easier to implement now we have districts). Lots of low hanging fruit. Introducing a bit more of this stuff would make this version of Civ a real standout - finally a game that really takes you from Caveman to the stars.
I also think that after a third expansion, FXS could really easily add more content via dlc with very little developmental work, which would hopefully be a really good revenue stream. You know, maybe thematic dlc (colonization, WW2, whatever) that could include alt leaders, alt or unique Governors, unique Emergencies or Scored Competions or unique Government type etc.
Seriously FXS (or 2K). If you have any concerns, I’m more than willing to pre-buy or crowd source / kick starter this. GS is great. RnF and Vanilla have great ideas that need just a little more time. You’ve got a great game, but with just a little more you’d have the best version of Civ, or perhaps any 4X, ever.
