I gave it a try some days ago. Rather an interesting project, and ideas.
The concept reminds me Majesty game, which is actually quite brilliant. It solves some issues of original game.

I am not sure if it is intended for AI to handle declarations of friendships?
I don't know, but it didn't feel like my tech decision mattered at all, so I just set one very far away and didn't bother about it.
There is also a bug with Production Notification, upon new city construction, production is set automatically and this notification stays forever.
Rebels spawning and grabbing their first city, absolutely lovely idea and execution. Obviously, somehow limited by game limitations (max players).

I didn't play long (no time recently), I randomly visited this thread and got interested enough to check it out. So I can't offer any deeper insight.
Anyway, good job. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for giving it a try and the feedback.

What do you mean by AI handle declaration of friendships? You are in control of your diplomacy. There should not be a declaration of friendship without you wanting it.

I agree that research selection could be more important. I'm hoping in a future version to add bonuses that you unlock based on technology research order which will make research selection more important.

I'll look into preventing the production notification when founding a city.
