Shh... don't encourage them.

As an expansion pack, it would require them to add a HUGE amount of new content. Unlike say "Conquests" where the content is rules and scenarios, they'd also have to add new artwork, sound FX, and probably music. Worst-case scenario they'd have to make some seroius rules changes.

And I suspect that future techs would alienate a large part of the audience, which expects a some-would-say unrealistic degree of realism.

I seem to recall a large fantasy mod for Civ 2 (user mod?). I don't see Sid chasing butterflies, though. I suspect Civ 3's trend toward "the mundane" will continue.
