The AI and diplomacy can always be better, as well. (Some) people complain about how the AP and the UN work - things like that.

AI: I sure wish Jon would hurry up and complete his turn, he's been at it for over 1,200,000 milliseconds now.

It's like asking, "Will you pay $45 on a game you already have but in this version, the workers blink and you earn a little gold star everytime you capture a city." That's just not going to sell.

The economic system needs serious modification, with competitive industries, business cycles, booms and busts, and research options based on current development in the civ.
I also like the idea of alternate research paths. To follow up on wodan, the Incas also never had the wheel, the horse, or ironworking , yet constructed (or supported the construction by an earlier civ) the most extensive aqueduct and water transfer system in the world. They also built (or ... see above) extensive structures high in the mountains with stones from lower in the mountains. Feats of engineering comparable to the Egyptians, according to the engineers that evaluated these. In game terms, they are all the way to engineering while skipping horseback riding, ironworking, and the wheel.No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

Pedrojedi, your point is a good one, massive modability, no need for apology.
LDiCesare, you are right, many of the changes we suggest can be modded. However, they fit into a larger context, apackage. In addition to more user-friendly tech trees with branches beyond the historic path, an economic victory option, repaired diplomatic and vassal game, and competitive corporations (i.e., more than one of the same type possible), what would you like to see as major changes in a theoretical Civ V. I appreciate your modding skill, but are there limits you'd like removed, places you'd like to go, but can't at the moment?No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

That's not going to happen. EA hold the rights to SMAC and they'll never sell it to a rival company that they would like to buy out instead. I'm glad all this talk about a hostile takeover is out of the way, I'd hate to see EA get yet a bigger piece of the pie. I really don't like their concept of game design and their distribution.
