No news is good news, right?

That's a good point.

It would be interesting if they could improve diplomacy or religion even more...

Maybe a worthwile UN, like some have been clamoring for.

Tons! Some ideas I personally like include:

1] Simultaneous turns in single player (see how this was done quite well in Risk 2 - http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/risk2/review.html)

2] Mild RPG element whereby your leader starts with no traits but is allowed to build them according to how the game develops (attack more, get more aggressive bonus, etc.).

3] "RISK"-like bonus cards that you win from winning battles, reaching milestones, etc. These cards could be spent on improving a leader trait, planting a resource in your borders, buying a great general, etc.

The only reason to make a new game in a series altogether is because you are completely changing the game that came before it. There doesn't seem to be much that Firaxis can throw in, unless they are craftly like that.

I don't think there is much they can add either, but that doesn't imply they wont do another x-pack.
