6 more would be ideal but there should only be 7 playing at one time from Tiny to Standard and up to 10 on Large to Huge.

Some ideas of faction leaders backgrounds/agendas:

Sea/Ocean

Someone obsessed that living on (or beneath) the water is the future of mankind. The leader would have to be from an island country say somewhere in the Bahamas or from Iceland.

Space

We NEED space bases to build so we have all levels covered (ala C:CTP). The leader would be either Russian (2 of them may be a bit too much) or an American most likely). But first of all we need to implement space or floating bases.

Underground

All the citizens who don't want to pick a leader to follow after they have learnt that their future might be jepordised, will form a rebellious group who go 'underground' or stealth and help whoever they want or maybe in the end they'll ally with one?

Ice/Nomads

Eskimo type people who live in the inhabital land and who want to be left alone. Like nomads but they don't wander that much. They don't want anything except to be left in peace. A place to live would be around the north and south of the maps and in the dune desert.

Aliens??

Aliens return to Chrion to find out that their once peaceful planet has been inhabited by humans. Then they form the planet group to try to wipe out mankind or to ally with one and take over the planet. Deidre will not have an advantage because they see her as a leader who wants the planet to survive with humans which they don't want. They are a different race to the alien life form already on Planet so they'll have to fend on them as well, like any human race.

Earth

We manage to send another Unity before the human race is wiped out on Earth and they find that there is war and seek out to end it. Lal will ask to help but they will reject his offer as he is turning into a 'hippee' and trying to protect the aliens and declaring planet-wide Lifeform National Parks. Deidre doesn't like this because she can't use the Aliens to her advantage.

Some other improvements would be to have 'all' the bugs gone and to also have 'caravans' as seen in the original Civ. Kinda like Supply crawlers to help finish Secret Projects but also to commence more trade for a specific city but offering them nutrients, minerals for energy and vice versa. Also some massive maps with lots of landmarks. One last thing, F11 to bring up the Hall of Fame in the main menu. I would like to see the HOF more times instead of when I finish a game.

An intellectual/artist faction would be an interresting addtion.

So would a group of hedonists.

Or a group of people working on a neo-Feudal based system.

Hmmm I'll think some up and work up stats.
