I want a sense of history, and stats.
I want the history to record first discoveries of techs and by whom. I want to be able to view how many units of each nation I've defeated and how many of my own units have been defeated and by whom.
I want a history of wars: when declared (by sneak attack, declared openly, as a result of a pact or alliance, details!) and when peace came, between whom, for what cost.
I want these stats to be viewable DURING gameplay not just at the end.
Example from the general history file (one sample year- it would be a simple text file you can scroll through, maybe sort/filter by wars/inventions/peace) and it would be sequential through the years.

1024 AD:
Rome declared war on Greece by sneak attack near Sparta!
India declared war on Rome due to Alliance with Greece.
India and England signed a peace treaty, the Indians paid 200 coins and returned Hastings.
Rome convinced France to declare war on Greece, the Romans paid 1000 coins and gave Chivalry to France.
Invention was discovered first by the Chinese!

Then from your own Military Advisor's report, you can click on a nation and he tells you:
Of our armies, the Chinese have destroyed:
4 longships
1 Pioneer
2 Phalanxes
Of their armies, we have destroyed:
4 Legions
1 Phalanx
1 Rider
We have been at war with the Chinese 2 times.

Etc... nothing that would be overly difficult to program, you just record the stats as the player goes along in a file, and the file is accessible as data as you play.
Of course I still want the replay feature at the end, but better YET a way to SAVE it! So you can see that concise version of the history again when you want (just the colors on the map, basically, coordinated with bid deal events).
