A heart transplant, and a Cradle mod.
The CTP2 system with the Cradle mod is a rich conucopia of trade, techs, wonders, units, and goods. Cities are not restricted in size or scope the way they are in Civ3, the combat is MILES better, the terrain graphics, while inferior, scroll 10 times smoother even at 1600x1200 than Civ3 at the default resolution.
I haven't done much diplomacy, but from the looks of it there are MORE options in CTP2 than Civ3. Remember, a whole bunch of Civ3 "diplomacy" is nothing more than trade. In CTP2, there are knowledge pacts and other things. Now I can't say it's better yet, as I haven't played it enough to see it in execution, but there seems to be more options...
Which is why I think I like the modded CTP2. So many options, loads of governments, more options in your government for specialists, just more of everything. I think it makes it a little richer, though I can see how some may find it more convoluted.
Somewhere, theres a blender, and if you put all of CTP2 with mods and Civ3 in, you may have one fine product...

P.S. You may want a dash of SMAC as well...
