I have many many ideas on features for CTP2, alot of which i have already posted long ago on the Mods section, but im holding myself back before i suggest them again so that the foundation of CTP2 can be worked on first.
Ill start with C:CTP features that for watever reason where not included in CTP2 (broken/changed etc)
Firstly, deep ocean could not been seen from the start of the game in C:CTP, it required an advance before you could see it (lets just say its sonar or something like that).This was oddly not the case in CTP2 and ridiculously in times BC you already have the ability to see too the deepest parts of the ocean and see deep see crevasses and volcanos. Can this be re-implemented?
Also i think you SHOULD be able to move triremes and other early vessels into deep ocean but with a large % chance that they will sink (say 80 to 85% chance or something, possibly more or less chance depending on the vessel/distance travelled)
Also there was a terrain type in C:CTP, deep ocean cracks that where generated in much the same way as the crevasses (think thats what they are called) in C:CTP/CTP2. Although they where in CTP1 they where not in CTP2, i think these should be re-implemented, however the graphics will have to be modifyed as the CTP1 deep ocean graphics look different to the CTP2 ones (i think Big Mc may have already done this for a deep ocean mod he was working on but im not sure)
Secondly i think there should be an option to use (the un-used) .DLL which alters the generation of maps, so that there are rings of different climates (like shown in C:CTP beta screenies)
From what ive heard, choosing colour and flat maps have already been sorted
which is great stuff 
) have diplomatic photos been implemented on the diplomacy chatting screen like shown in CTP2 beta screenies ?
I could stray off into the realms of space/space cities and the CTP2 diplomacy shown in the beta screenshots, but ill save that till another time :P
EDIT: Changed title and made the following additions
- City styles, currently there is a limit as to how many different city styles are allowed in the game, well of course now that we have the source code i think this limit should be removed. This would allow not only the current city styles mod to be introduced into ctp2 as standard, but also use some of the removed styles that where in Ctp1 (this includes the CTP1 style underwater cites, genetic and diamond + the unused 6th (or last) city design for all CTP1 cities where they grow gigantic (there is a big sheet Locotus posted a while back displaying them all, although he incorrectly had the last city designs named as alien :S although i think he was later aware of the mistake.
- there are some quite vital units missing from CTP2 which are hard to work out why they arent there. This is only early days but i do think that the most relevant units should be re-introduced (ironclad, legions etc)
-barbarians, to terrorist transition, ive posted this idea somewhere else but its basically that (although terrorists often opt for a less direct and blunt attack but maybe more for theiving and bombing) -very vague-
-trading system imo should be much more like the Civ3 system, however before we get to that stage i think there should be some smaller adjustments even if its just the addition of a wider variety of goods and removal of quite strange goods like "Giant Squid" :|
currently everything im posting is just touching upon each idea, as i dont feel i should go into any great depth before the concepts are even introduced or introduced at all for that matter
