Faster loading/processing time.

No 'revolt' abuse. As you know you can collapse your government on purpose to avoid being overruled by the Senate. We could consider damage/permanent damage to your civ for doing so. Or limit you to so many revolts per century.

Slightly better graphics with that 'grain-like' feel.

Customizable map in all aspects.

Figuring out tax/population/science proportions upper limits changes possible yet tricky.

Any 'remove all discontent' from city. Monorails, food chains, luxuries in general.

Make the huts buyable for the type of discovery. 10gp for scroll. 15 for advanced tribe. 20 for wandering band. 5 for military unit. Then keep the random gold or wealth as an option.

I'm sure the future civs have done this already though.

Where are you going with this? Is this just a summary of flaws, or do you have a realistic hope that someone will make a mod that fixes all this?

Pointing out things that can be changed. Though it's rare these days I remember coming back here.

Are you planning on fixing them? Because there is a section where there is a list of AI stupidities, so we know the game is not perfect. If you want some of those improvements, play the newer games. But I disagree. The map editor is very specific when you want to make a map. If you let settlers be buyable for 20 gold, why would you build or buy them in cities for a considerably higher price? To get faster loading time, you might get a new computer.

Reading between the lines I see a 'don't mention it' but it's only fun.

I'm only pointing it out now. I was hoping to make 'advanced tribes' buyable to get a higher score overall. The main thing this proves is that we can wait for the best result.

Though there is limited programming since the game is older. Best I follow my own advice and not expect too much out of anything.

Wait, you mean we can't buy a hut outcome? The AI has been ripping me off, I've been paying for my choice of advances, and wondered why I only get barbarians.

Spoiler :

PS I'm joking. You can get whatever out come you want, if you have the patience to save & reload. Just remember to save before popping the hut, not after .
