Given that almost all the new Civics (possibly even all of them) will be from the new Future Era, I feel its fair to say that we won't be seeing any improvement in how historical labour systems are represented in the game. Outside of Serfdom & Press Gangs, I feel like there is no real representation of the vital role that different labor systems had on civilizations-& even the two I mentioned are really extremely shallow representations.
Slavery, Indentured Servitude (debtors prisons, workhouses etc), Collective Labor (Unionism) & so called "Free Labor" (aka contract labor/casual labor) are all systems that could-& should-have representations within the Social Policy system IMHO-with impacts on Builder abilities and the yields of certain districts/improvements.
Whilst we're on the subject, legal-oriented Economic policies are also horribly under-represented/poorly represented in the game IMHO....but that is a discussion for another day. Needless to say I'd like my Theocracy to be able to Enact Canon/Ecclesiastic Law.....and have Court Houses in my cities that such policies can impact on.
On a side note, do you think the Resource Management Social Policy will get re-jigged? What other pre-existing policies do you think will get an overhaul?
