Weird but not me to question something when it works even in a way i dislike

Hello,
I enjoyed the mod and finished my first game last night. Here is a list of things that I couldn't figure out. Maybe they are bugs, or I simply got lost in possibilities (*), so I simply pose them as questions:
1) How do you connect Herbs or Ancient Ruins? There is simply no "Plantation" build option. I know that you have to research several techs to connect Herbs, but even the Civilopedia doesn't mention what Improvement you have to build.
2) Sea lanes and Naval bases in the modern era: can you still build them once Caravels and Frigates become obsolete? IMHO you should be able to. If my people can plant a buoy during the Middle Ages, they should be able to do so in the future era as well.
3) Why are "Great Temples" (unique religious buildings like Temple of Solomon etc.) considered as wonders? I had the problem that I couldn't build one with a Great Prophet, because the religion spawned in a city with three wonders in it. Can't you make them count as "World Projects"? This should prevent that.
4) How are cooperations founded? Some seem to spawn just as religions do, yet the Civilopedia says you have to use a Great Person to found the Headquarters. Do Headquarters count as World Wonders (see 3)? Do Headquarters generate money, as they do in BTS?
5) Can you upgrade Peasants to Civil Engineers? I would like that (and it would be Civ 2 syle if you could...)
6) I noticed that I could still build "Neanderthals" in the Future era. I find it odd that my cities are covered by energy domes, but guarded by furry men with clubs
As said, it might well be that I simply didn't find the answers ingame. And thumbs up for your work
* I guess the mod is named Multiverse for a reason
But it doesn't seem to work. In my game, I control 3 Herbs and have a road on the tile, but when I mouse-over the resource icon, it says I have 0. And I can't build a Medic either, which requires Herbs. I am no modder, but from what I understand of the fundamental game mechanics of Civ IV, you always have to build something on top of a resource to gain access to it. I've never seen a mod where this is not so.
I just checked, and the Destroyer cannot build them. I haven't seen the AI building them. But this could be because I was way ahead in tech. By the time I won the AI was just starting to build Caravels. But since it knows how to build roads, it should recognize Sea lanes...
In my game, the Illuminati "spawned" in Stuttart. I can spread the Cooperation and get the bonuses, but I cannot build the Star Tower with my Great Engineer. There is no icon in the Orders menu at the bottom either. Maybe it has to do with the fact that there are 3 Wonders in Stuttgart already?
The "fantasy" and "animal" based units could all need more upgrade "interconnections", IMHO. Without upgrades/obsoleteness(?) they just clutter up the production list in the city management screen late game. While an upgrade from the early fantasy/beast units to their genetically modified counterparts makes sense logically, I think they come too late in the tech tree. On the other hand, an upgrade from a Lizardman to Goblin might make sense game-balance-wise, but I cannot conceive a way (and I don't want to
) how this could be done in the Middle Ages without genetic engineering. Now that I think of it, there might be foul sorcery at work...
