First of all, I'd like to say a big thank you to the developers for all the improvement work they're doing.
After this necessary opening, I'd like to list the next steps needed (in my opinion) to improve Civ:
- Espansionist and diplomatic victories
- Deeper diplomacy between players
- Revised religion mechanics
- A mechanic like loyalty or tile theft (like in Civ 4) to control the effects of settling too close to other civs
- More IP management options, including stealing sovereignty from opponents (I created a post about this)
- Greater depth for military units so you don't only fight with the most powerful units
- Building and neighborhood upgrades with more varied proximity effects and bonus effects for combining particular buildings
- More varied natural disasters with graphical effects to highlight affected tiles (see related post)
- Visual effects when working on a mountain or natural wonder tile
This is the list of improvements that should be made to make Civ complete, in my opinion. And in your opinion, what improvements should be made?
