This post is mostly in response to the idea that GS will cover most of the gameplay content left for Civ to add. While asking for a 3rd expansion is still mostly wishful desperation to see some of the gaps in civs that this expansion will inevitably leave out: I wanted to make a legitimate post exploring the features Gathering Storm has missed and may be a really good addition to a third expansion.
With that said the main ideas I came up while browsing the forums were:
1. Health/Diseases
2. Migrations
3. Vassalage
4. Slavery
5. Corporations
6. Colonies
7. Improvements to Religion
Just reading down that list I feel like a lot of those mechanics could feasibly be tied together in some hypothetical Expansion 3. It would give Expansion 3 a return to known history and really flesh out the effect that migrations have had on people in both sharing culture, setting up international companies, creating vassal states, spreading diseases, capturing people from far away lands, etc. All of these mechanics focus on how people have moved over time and how the world has been interconnected.
I feel like this kind of expansion would further reinforce the tone set in Gather Storm where they are trying to create a dynamic map that you interact with, by having the citizens of the map in every country also be people with their own reactions and interactions (Migrating, spreading disease, being turned into slaves, etc) I also think this would be enough content to warrant a new expansion and not feel too little, maybe not as big as GS but still sizable.
What do you all think? Do you have any other features you would like to see in Civ 6 that won't be making it to Gathering Storm? Are you hoping for a 3rd expansion after this one?
