When civilization 2 came out it was probably a good game. Now gaming is much more advanced. Some additions would be nice,
1. Different civilizations have specialized units and buildings. In civilization only has one, but it would be better if you showed the individualized type for each tech. If there isn't enough for one civ then it wouldn't matter if you only showed a few, but if other civs had to many then you would have to choose which ones. Some civs would share their specialized units.
2. Different civilizations start with two free starting techs.
3. Show the leader picture that changes with different tech ages.
4. Multiple tech ages.15 would be nice.
5. space.
6. future era with future techs including underwater, and on water colonization.
7. You have multiple leaders for each civilization great now give them different abilities.
8. Different civilizations have different abilities, units, and buildings.
9. More victory conditions. If you have a research victory instead of researching specific techs go off a percent verses everyone else.
10. Civilizations grouped by world location placed.
11. Different tech trees based on group.
12. Besides citizen management able to place citizens in buildings for added bonuses. What I mean by citizen management is not just as workers, but where you can specialize entertainers, tax collectors, and scientists you could tweak this if you want. I'm not talking about governors.
13. Civics.
15. National and natural wonders.
16. Forbidden city and Edisons lab. I guess you wouldn't build Marco polo's embassy and forbidden city in the same civilization or one would get obsoleted.
17. Locationaly based citizens, different countries citizens would look differenet. If you conquer a civilization then you would end up with different sets of citizens.
18. Create your own city. This is based on culture, as your civilization grows you build buildings in your city. As you build these buildings they appear in your que, This city is not actually on the game, but would appear when you get enough culture to expand your city. Think Call to power. This is kind of like build your own palace,
19. Great people.
20. Barbarian states.
21. City states.
22. When you launched a ship then the game mode would switch to a space colonization game,
23. Different kind of resources strategic, luxury, and bonus. Strategic resources would require to build a building on, and connect roads to the cities you would want to use them. Luxury resources would require you to build roads to each of the cities you would use them to make your citizens happier. Bonus resources would give any other bonuses, and require road to use. I imagine if you connect caravans to the resources, and cities this would also be allowed. These are tradeable, but if the buildings, or roads are messed up, and you couldn't trade anymore then it would incrue a temporary diplomatic penalty for stopping the trade.
24. Revolutions.
25. Optional paths to the same techs.
26, Religions.
27. Choose different abilities when leveling up.
28. Being able to train for better abilities.
29. Leaders where you can combine units.
30. Combined research where multiple countries could combine research efforts; maybe. even only having some tech options here.
31. Ruins where you find tech, but the tech is a different tech path than what you are researching on the game.
32, Maybe different tech paths depending on your civic choices.
33. Cottages upgrading to hamlet. Hamlet upgrading to village. Village upgrading to towns. Producing wealth, You could tweak this if you want.
34. Random events.

About different techs/units/etc. for different Civilizations. I would like to have exclusive or technologies, like you can learn Warrior Code or Fanatics, etc.

But perhaps it's place for Policies instead of technologies.
