Actually Wodan , we are more or less in the fine-tuning stage. By we, I mean the team; not all of our plans are public. In fact, few are. 
On traderoutes... I'll look at them. Sounds like city size needs to play a larger role.
On graphics... We'd love to, but lack an artist. Shoggi has been learning how to convert units from Atlantica Online, and has had quite a bit of success, but that still leaves us limited in choice.
And I agree with A_Moon. If you want to have that conversation then do it via pm.
