Let us assume two things: First, that Firaxis' product model calls for wringing profit out of a franchise with multiple "expansion packs." These are sold for top dollar to the die-hards for appox. 6 months, then combined with the original to pull in newcomers. Second, that Firaxians do read this and that some of the requests of the Civ-playing community found their way into Civ 4, presumably via this website.
So, let us begin making suggestions for the expansion pack that should be announced in a few months.
I have one large suggestion, one minor suggestion.
The big suggestion is the inclusion of the Ethiopians as a new civ. There's never been more than one African civ in an Civ game and Ethiopia counts as one of the world's oldest and nations. Plus, they have an illustrious female leader, Queen of Sheba Makeda, thus killing two birds with one stone.
The small suggestion is an increase in the Great Person art. It would be great to see different unit art for each age (Classic Actor, Medieval Painter, Renaissance Actor [as is], Industrial Vaudeville and Modern Rock Star [as is]). Although I would settle for a modern version of the Great Prophet made to look like a televangelist.
Please share your own visions.
