Just curious, have you played Merchant Prince (released later as Machiavelli: The Prince)? It was a strategy game made in 1993 where you commanded a 14th century Venetian merchant house. The entire game was based around trade routes and exploration. (As you started in Venice with a couple crappy ships and limited knowledge of the rest of the world).
The interface was very Civilization-like, and the game is now abandonware. I was curious if MP was an inspiration for you at all. I was just today wondering if it were possible to make a Civ4 mod that basically re-created MP, adding in the more dynamic cities and city-states that Civilization has. MP mapped the entire Old World, but civilizations weren't represented very well.
