I'm not a modder, but would love to see:
More resources - for example coffee, spice, tea, etc.
More complex economy - things like wood & cotton to make furniture
Historical events - I miss the 'random' events from COL1, such as European Wars, and there is a lot of history that could be used for this, such as religious revivals / persecution in Europe (extra colonists but maybe damaging relations with other european / colonial powers), civil wars, economic events like a mania for a new world goods, price crashes, company bubbles.
Could the Civ choices you get once you've declared independence be extended to the whole period, maybe with certain limitations for a particular nation?
