Added to Achaemenid Legacy:  Capital has two desired resources on the same cooldown.  If you get one or both, you get a ‘we love the king’ happen for the usual amount of time and benefit and you have to wait until the bonus is over until you can get it again like normal (getting two at once doesn’t stack anything.)  If you satisfy a wonder resource and a normal resource at the same time, you get the wonder resource effect.  When the ‘we love the king’ is done, both resources in the capital are reset independently (so one could become the resource the other one just required.)  Any turn you’re unhappy, if you were at 0 or more happiness the turn before, you only go down to 0 happiness, but this can’t cause the effect again next turn.

    UB:  Treasury, replaces Mint:  Can be built in a city with salt tiles, as well, and salt tiles get +2 gold.  Gold and Silver resource tiles in the city borders also get +1 culture.
    UB:  Griot Association, replaces Writers’ Guild:  This building’s specialists are Griot Specialists, which provide more faith and science than writers, but who count as writers for other effects.  Or they’re just writer specialists and the building is just a writer’s guild with faith and science if that’s too complicated.

KINGDOM OF KONGO=
    Dull Dark Red-Purple on Green
    Jungle start bias
    UA:  Heart of Darkness:  Enemies get war weariness and warmongering penalties that increase based on how many of your cities work Ancestral Altars and the longer any given city has been working an Ancestral Altar.  Get a Sorceror upon reaching the Classical Era.
You can convert your Great Prophets into sorcerors.
Get culture per turn (scales over time) based on how many Raffia Cloth resources you produce, and get gold per turn (scales over time) based on how many Raffia Cloth resources you make but aren’t exporting.
    UB:  Kuba Market, replaces Market:  Has 1 more production and worked Silk, Dyes, and Cotton tiles also provide 1 Raffia Cloth resource each.  Kuba Markets generate up to one Raffia Cloth resource for their city if that city works a lumber mill. 
    UU:  Sorceror, replaces Inquisitor: Can expend self to make an Ancestral Altar improvement that adds 1food, culture, and faith to any improvable land tile.  If the city that works an Ancestral Altar has a technology stolen, and the culprit civ is determined, that civ generates less science than usual for a time. If worked, enemy units in the city’s borders take 15% more damage from your (and not your allies’) attacks.  Can have only one worked per city.

ROCK AND ROLL CIV=
    Orange on Black
    Coast start bias
    UA:  Metal:  Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, Aluminum, Uranium Provide give +1 happiness each when they’re in your trade network, limit 1 happiness for each type (not each unit).  Those resources also provide +1 culture on their tiles.  Gain a free great Rock Band upon discovering radio.
    UU:  Lead Zeppelin- requires Advanced Flight:  Airship that has megaphones and big light displays on it.  Stations itself above any workable tile.  Can go into other civ’s/c-s’s lands without causing war.  Spreads tourism to civs it is stationed near. The closer it is to a city, the more tourism it spreads.  Must set up over several turns.  Can be shot down.  If shot down after set up, it may damage units, improvements and or reduce population if near a city, or it might rarely even create a fallout tile.  
    UU:  Rock Band:  Replaces Great Musician:  Unit names chosen from a pool of real bands.  Their songs are chosen from songs by the band the unit represents.  Music works Created by these units provide double culture.  Can go on a tour like great musicians.  When expended, a golden age starts.

ELEVENTH MARTIAN REICH=
    Colors are the same as one of the other players’
    No start bias
    UA:  Insane:  Chance to get the wrong type of great person whenever you’d get a great person.  Sometimes keep stolen units after you get the reputation for returning them to a c-s.  Also sometimes get no reputation for returning a unit to a c-s.  Gain happiness when you injure a unit.  Lose happiness when you kill a unit.  Music is totally random.  Wonder paintings and tech quotes are mixed up.  Advisors’ messages are random dialogue and/or childish complaints about other advisors.  Denouncing and declaring friendship do the opposite for you but not the other civ.  Spies and diplomats from other teams have no effect on you.  Get a 15% attack bonus for 15 turns against units from the civ you declared war on if you just had a ceasefire agreement run out between you.
    UB:  Escherian Staircase: Replaces Castles:  Once a turn, if a unit would take over a city of yours, there’s a chance it just faces away and loses all movement for that turn.
    UU:  Raging Semi: Replaces all siege units:  Truck with very high attack strength, but can only attack one space away.  
    UU:  Unicycle Clown:  Available alongside Pikemen:  Has no strength.  When destroyed from combat, pillages all improvements in the same tile and all adjacent tiles.

UNDEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CAKE=
    Brown on Violet
    River start bias
    UA:  Corpulus Maximus:  Palace gets Food, Production, Gold, Culture, Faith, or Science at the beginning of each age.  Can choose only ones you haven’t chosen before.  Initial unit value is 1.  Each successive age gives one more point (age 2 gives you 2 points for either of those unchosen stats, etc.) Get more production and +1 happiness (only if you have under 0 happiness) for 30 turns if you demand stuff from another civ.  Doesn’t stack.  Get a few of the resources of c-s or other civs that border you.  C-ss give in to threats more.  Each world wonder you build gives +1% more wonder construction speed.  If you lose a city, the entire planet loses happiness equal to the population of that city until it is razed or until it is returned to you. 
    UA:  Ice Cream Trucks:  Your internal trade routes between connected cities that are also connected to the capital give extra food per turn, even on top of production.  Graphics are changed to trucks.
    UB:  Chocolate Factory: Replaces Factory:  Provides 1 Chocolate resource each.  Can be traded like resources or the chocolate factory can be toggled to switch between providing the Chocolate resource and filling its unique specialist slot, which becomes filled by the Chocolateer specialist.  The chocolateer specialist increases food, growth rate, and happiness, but production, gold, and culture goes down.  You can toggle this during a trade agreement to cheat the other civ out of a deal, which makes them hate you a lot.  There, of course, is a confirmation notice after selecting this action.

CONEHEADS=
    Light Yellow-Green on Dark Indigo
    Hills start bias
Note:  This civ represents a humanoid alien race of beings of a society superior to any human society.  Not even being from this planet presents opportunities  to implement some fun cultural flavor and concepts.  The sort of early-game play style that would tend to develop represents simply their physical and mental superiority over humans, since their space tech has yet to develop.  As the game approaches the space age, the special powers they gain make this civ a force to be reckoned with to reflect their society maturing into what I decided would be the space-faring master of the galaxy.  All these UAs are in caps, to maintain the theme of this civ.
    UA:  CONSUME MASS QUANTIES:  Specialists require double food but generate +1 production each.  Civil Society or the tenant version in Freedom reduces each specialist’s food consumption by one. Get 1 happiness for each 9 (4.5 after Civil Society) food consumed by specialists, counting only the extra food that exists because of this UA.
Civil Society is also applied to Five-Year Plan not as a tenant, but as an additional effect.  This also explains Coneheads inclination to Order.
For tiles with improvements that add food, roads add one food to their tiles if they are adjacent to three or more roads that you’ve built.  You can break roads then rebuild them to get this benefit, and two Coneheads players exchanging territory could intentionally get weird because of this.
In-game civ-specific intro is written entirely in caps. 
    UA:  NWAVERING GLORY OF THE CONE:  Home-grown unit models are bald and have pointed heads.  Great people look science-fictiony and have civ-specific pools of names.  Rightly so, a brave few of the great generals have names related to narfling garthocs out of displays of prowess(not from the method of execution.)
If any non-Coneheads civ or cs has a city or unit of theirs of a name in the Coneheads pool of city/unit proper names(these names’ll tend to be ...odd, to say least, and the player will get a warning message referencing each instance once a Coneheads civ is discovered), all damage caused against those or units inside of cities of those by effects of Conehead origin is increased by an added “CONE SLANDER” combat modifier.  AI Conehead civs will not like other teams, even allied entities(if it’s applicable), who slander the cone.  Once the names are changed to appropriate ones, the negative opinion will be as if it never existed.  Conehead things, conversely, that are named after any human name deal reduced damage reminiscent of that other effect by a modifier named “CONE TREASON..” If a situation occurred where a Condeheads civ came to find itself in control of a human great person, they would respect their personal rise to higher office and not change the name and not apply treason.  Slander units and treason units that fight each other have both effects happen.  Conehead AI might alter captured city names to reflect subjugation or even the city’s fortune to have become part of the glorious Coneheads civ.  I, personally consider any AI to be... an idiot?  Considering incompetence or irrational personalities, will they-- can they make the effort to stop having a gifted unit or captured cities from having disadvantegeous names?  Difficulty levels and mods that done improvify AI smartification-ness probably should consider this . ...by the way, Hunnic cities are not exempt from this UA.  How dare they brazenly steal and defile the names from civs all willy-nilly!  THEY’LL FINALLY GET THEIRS. 
    UA:  SUPERIOR WARP ENGINE TECH:  Gained once you’ve established the Remulac Galactic Domination  Initiative.  All missiles and air units of yours get three extra range, have 5% less chance of getting intercepted, and do 5% more damage.  This buff applies to all affected units you build from then on or you can upgrade existing units to gain the effects. They gain new sci-fi models, effects, and the explosions are cooler.  Units open up wormholes to their destinations.
    UB:  Flendar, replaces monument:  Also makes your workers in this city’s borders build improvements 33% faster when adjacent to other improved tiles(not counting city tiles) of yours.
    UP:  Remulac Galactic Domination Initiative, replaces Apollo Program:  Enables Superior Warp Booster and Superior Warp Engine Tech.
    UU: Superior Warp Booster, replaces SS Booster.  Only one is required for your spaceship and  the launch animations is slightly different.  Requires only 40% the materials of normal boosters, it makes the spaceship travel faster, and you can choose to give a particular ally or a number/all of your allies this UU replacement as a unit they can make as a trade.

Corporate Warfare:  Can send spies to cities you’re at war with, but only up to the number of Eridium resources you have.  They can’t spy, but they attempt to cause slag explosions (PURPLE!) that can lower city defense, do high damage to units in the city, do moderate damage to units near the city, hurt growth rate, set back production, or trap a unit in the city.
    UA:  Monopoly:  Can have three times the usual amount of missiles in all places/units.
    UI:  Eridium Mine, available alongside mines:  Can be built on any land tile.  Adds 1 production.  Resists being pillaged/destroyed 20% of the time by enemies.

Vault Hunters and Great Generals can get points from the same things and appear independently of each other.
    UA:  Scavenger:  If a unit of yours beats a unit that you can not yet produce, you get some science added towards that technology.  This can even teach you the technology.

    UB:  Missile Shield, replaces bomb shelter:  Has the same damage reduction, but additionally, hydrogen bomb effects on the city itself are downgraded to A-Bomb
 strength, A-Bombs are reduced to guided missile strength, and guided missiles do heavily reduced damage.  Your units on tiles adjacent to the city take less damage from missile-type attacks, and tiles adjacent to your cities resist being deimproved or changed into fallout zones.  Units in your city have a chance to take no damage from missile attacks, and your units adjacent to the city have a chance to take less damage from missile attacks.

WoW=
     Gold on Blue (Allience); Red on Brown (Horde)
     Coast start bias
    UA:  For the Horde!:  Buffs your units in enemy lands.  Buildings look like horde buildings.

Both available alongside any melee unit and once a better unit is producable, your future Paladins/Shamans will be made as good as the new unit and you can upgrade your existing ones. 
    UU:Lord Kazzak: Replaces unhappiness barbarians:  Low happiness doesn’t spawn barbarians, but a giant death robot named Lord Kazzak, who attacks all units indiscriminately.  Also has a small chance to spawn in occupied cities that used to be yours or that are newly yours.  The unit will disappear after a short time and can’t capture cities.  Only one of these units from each WoW civ can exist at any time.
*City names are a mix of Alliance, Horde, and other place names, influenced mostly by which “For the Alliance/Horde” is active.  Upon founding your first city, you pick a “for the” effect which determines your capital’s default name. *

GENERIC RPG CIV=
    White on Blue
    Plains start bias
    UA:  For Glory!:  Great general bonuses your units benefit from also cause them to do considerably more damage against unique units and units affected by great general bonuses.
    UI:  Dwarven Mine- Replaces Mine, but only on iron and aluminum:  If a mine has iron or aluminum spawn in the same tile as it, you have to rebuild a mine to get a dwarven mine. Units requiring iron or aluminum in this city may convert it into a mithril resource in a process that’s like entering into a trade agreement with yourself.  You can use this as iron or aluminum to make a Mithril Swordsman or a Mithril Stealth Bomber, for instance.  This trait increases power and lets them heal faster.  If another civ takes a Dwarven Mine over, it turns into a regular mine.  You can trade mithril away, and the AI values it highly.
    UU:  Elven Archer:  Replaces Composite Bowman:  Has better melee strength on unimproved land, and in forests and jungles, heals faster and has more ranged power.

    Green-Cyan on Dull Light Violet
    Plains start bias
    UA:  Cocoon: Sometimes when a military unit is created in a city that has a building enhanced by a Fal’Cie, they will get a L’Cie Focus debuff such as “L’Cie Focus:  Barrage II” that would just require it to get specifically the promotion “Barrage II.”  If the unit doesn’t achieve this after a certain amount of time, they turn into Cie’th, getting destroyed and turning into one or more Cie’th barbarian-style hostile units based on the unit’s type, experience, etc..   If the focus is achieved, the unit turns into crystal, disappearing, but granting many Fal’Cie points.  When a unit gains a focus debuff, the unit’s personal name is changed to L’Cie.”

New era:  Future Era, replacing Future Tech

Tech Tree:
First, Globalization and The Internet are switched around.
After Globalization is Augmented Reality
After Internet is Social Networking
After Particle Physics is Quantum Computing
Nuclear Fusion is replaced by the new Biofuels, and Nuclear Fusion is After Biofuel
Nanotechnology is Replaced by Materials Science, and Nanotech is after Materials Science
After Stealth is Advanced A.I.
Continuing the Future Era, Ultra Projects are techs that require huge amounts of science, but win the game in a science victory.
After Augmented Reality is Metaverse
After Social Networking is Hive Mind
After Quantum Computing is Teleportation
After Fusion is Free Energy
After Nanotechnology is Perfect Physiology
After Advanced A.I. is The Singularity
If tech victory is on, finishing an ultra project wins the game if you also have all the other non-ultra future era techs.  If it’s not on, you then get lots of delegates, many more points, much more tourism, and your units get a buff based on which Ultra Tech is completed and you have the other Future Era techs completed.  The first ultra tech you get access to can be completed faster.

Future Era Units and Buildings and Projects:

New Project:  City Solar Projet, requires Future Era.  Allows all cities to build solar plants even if they have nuclear plants and/or are not on deserts.  Solar Plants have no maintenance but instead generate 1 gold.

New Project:  Arcology Project, requires future era:  Alows cities to make arcologies

New Building:  Arcology Ceiling, requires arcology project and Augmented Reality.  Sets up shields over sections of the city that protect from kinetic energy satellites and a specific half of the kinds of natural disasters.  Having both arcology pieces in a city reduces unhappiness from population and number of cities.

New Building:  Arcology Floor, requires arcology project and fusion.  Levitates sections of the city to add defensive strength and protect from the other half of kinds of events that aren’t protected from by Arcology ceiling.  Having both arcology pieces in a city reduces unhappiness from population and number of cities.

New Building:  Military Lab:  Requires Augmented Reality:  Gives units +30xp.

New Building:  Distribution Center, requires Social Networking:  Postal services increase air trade profits.  Working automobile factories in the city give more production to armored units and working consumer electronics factories in the city give more production to helicopter units.

New Building:  Internet Cafe, available at The Internet.  Get more culture for the more consumer electronics you have.  +1 great writer point and great artist point.

New Building:  Organ Farm, available at Nanotechnology.  Units made here get a promotion that lets them heal for 33% more.  Animal resources +1 food, production.  +10% growth rate.

New Building:  SDI, requires Bomb Shelter and/or spaceship factory, and Quantum Computing:  Shoot down enemy missiles more (even when they’ll damage any tile of this city) and do more damage to aircraft (targets at the usual range.)

New Drone Unit:  UAV:  Requires advanced A.I..  Costs one aluminum.  Has no maintenance and is cheap to make.  Performs the duties of jets, but it has less combat strength.

New Building:  Cell Tower, requires Social Networking.  Broadcast towers in the city give +1 culture and +2 science, and the city gets +1 culture and +2 science for each allied satellite that has its focus on the city.

New Worker Unit:  Robot Worker, requires Advanced A.I., like a normal worker, but ignores terrain and never spends more than 2 turns to construct something.  Has a higher maintenance cost.

New Helicopter Unit:  Phantom Helicopter, unit requires augmented reality and stealth.  Strong.  Requires 4 Aluminum and 2 Oil or 1 uranium.  Uses holograms to avoid taking damage sometimes.  Can stop over mountains without taking damage.  Can cross water without disembarking and gets a bonus against railgun destroyers and railgun tanks.  Can’t get defensive bonuses.  

New Armored Unit:  Laser Tank, requires Advanced A.I.:  Requires 4 Aluminum and 2 Oil or 1 uranium. Damages aircraft and drones really well and nullifies helicopters’ anti-tank promotion.  Can damage Phantom Helicopters if their holograms proc.  Can’t get defensive bonuses.  

New Naval Unit:  Laser Frigate, requires Advanced A.I.:  Requires 4 Aluminum and 2 Oil or 1 uranium.Specializes in damaging aircraft and drones and can damage Phantom Helicopters if their holograms proc.

New Naval Unit:  Railgun Destroyer, requires fusion.  Requires 4 Aluminum and 2 Oil or 1 uranium.  Specializes in ranged attacks against laser tanks and laser ships.  Can see submarines.

New Gunpowder Unit:  Stryker Interoperable Unit (SIU), upgrades from mechanized infantry.  Available at Social Networking.  Gets a large bonus against XCOM units.

An extra field above the regular world.  Satellites take up one space tile.  If you have a Very Large Array, you will get shown where exploitable asteroids will be when they pass by on the space map.  You can send mining satellites to extract these bodies, but you can get blocked off by other players.  Satellites get automatically destroyed every 30-ish turns (randomly more or less.) Detects spy satellites above the city.
Spaceship is now a Space Colony Ship that goes to “outer space,” which means it stops existing after pausing in orbit and going away from the planet’s vicinity.  After it disappears and enough time passes for it to“set up,” you kick out all non-allied space units and ignore all space-based bans.  Satellites stay up forever, ballistic missiles against your territory are often shot down, and you get spaceship factories and space elevators for free in all cities.  Units that can attack space targets can destroy the space colony ship.  Space Colony gives much science upon setting up in space.

New Wonder:  Sputnik, requires Satellites.  Claims a huge area of space for you, kicking out enemy satellites and keeping enemy satellites out for a medium-long time.  Doesn’t affect Space attack craft or interceptors.

New Wonder:  Voyager Program, requires Apollo program and Satellites tech.  This wonder reduces the time it takes for your space colony to get set up.  You don’t need to launch anything for this.  Gives two great scientist points.  Your next two satellites (not space colony ship) require no boosters.

Space Elevator:  Requires Nanotechnology and a Spaceship Factory.  12 Maintenance.  Spacecraft launching from this city don’t need boosters.

New Building:  Weather Balloons, available at rocketry.  No maintenance.  Provides two science and warns of and defends against bad weather events on its city and the adjacent six tiles.  Gets destroyed every ten turns.

Launch Site, requires Airport and/or spaceship factory:  5 maintenance. You can’t launch spacecraft from your capital for no reason, but you can launch from any city with a Launch Site.  

Different Satellites:

A military satellite ending a turn over a neutral civ declares war.  Civs don’t like others’ civilian satellites over them.  Spy satellites are okay as long as they aren’t discovered to be spy satellites.  Satellites take time to move and set up.  All satellites require Satellites and Telecommunications.  Missiles can shoot satellites, but their range is highly reduced.  Fission and fusion missiles do aoes.  

Non-Military:  

Communications Satellite:  Requires one aluminum and a rocket booster.  Fixes onto an area of land and increases the effect of broadcast towers, the extra effects on broadcast towers from other sources, and the Internet on cities of yours that are in the aoe.  If two of your cities are both in the same aoe, they get more connection benefits.  If you link up the satellites’ aoes, all the cities in that linked aoe share the increased connection benefits.

Weather Satellite:   Requires one aluminum and a rocket booster.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  Provides vision onto an area.  Fixes onto an area of land and detects and reduces bad weather random events.  If you pick up an event in foreign lands, you can warn them before it happens, similar to how you share intrigue.  If anyone’s weather satellite is over a city, that city’s weather balloons stay up indefinitely.  You can have agreements for another civ to put their weather satellites over your cities, but they could put spy satellites up instead.  Or agreements could happen where you know you’re getting spied on but the other side of the deal is too good to pass up.

Mining Satellite:  Requires Particle Physics.  Requires one aluminum, or four oil, and a rocket booster.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  If an asteroid passes through a tile space a mining satellite is in, it mines for you and provides resources such as aluminum, uranium, and chemicals, and/or money.

Space Telescope:  Requires one aluminum and a rocket booster.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  The more you have, the better the stuff you get from asteroids.  Has a good chance to oust nearby enemy spy satellites.

Military:

Spy Satellite:  Requires Stealth:  Requires two aluminum and a rocket booster.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  Lets you see what cities are building.  Appears to be a Weather Satellite to other players.  Provides direct vision of an area and secretly has your units ignore 20% of enemy terrain attack promotion effects.  Actually counts as a non-military satellite until it is outed.  Gives you technology per satellite per turn based on how your tech is relative to theirs.

Attack Satellite:   Requires Particle Physics.  Requires two aluminum, a rocket booster, and one oil.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  Attacks enemy satellites, space colony ships, and XCOM squad ships that come near.

Space Fighter, require spaceship factories in their city to be built/purchased.  Requires Fusion.  Requires two aluminum, two uranium, and a rocket booster.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.

 Destroys satellites and colony ships extremely effectively and tries to shoot down missiles that target nearby allied space targets.

Space Cruiser, require spaceship factories in their city to be built/purchased.  Requires Fusion.  Requires three aluminum, two uranium, and a rocket booster.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  Can destroy space units and satellites, but specializes in beating space fighters and tries to shoot down missiles that target nearby allied space targets.

Satellite Kinetic Energy Bomber:  Requires Mobile Tactics and Biofuels.  Requires Requires two aluminum, a rocket booster, and plus three iron or two aluminum or one uranium.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  Expend to attack one tile for huge unavoidable (except for arcology roof)damage.  Usable after OST passes.

Satellite Missile Bomber:  Requires Mobile Tactics and Biofuels.  Requires two aluminum and a rocket booster.  If you have a space elevator, you don’t need the rocket booster.  Load up any missile weapon upon launch and you get to shoot it onto the planet’s surface once it’s near.

Payload Attack Satellite:  Requires Biofuels.  An attack satellite except you can load a missile onto it.  The attack destroys satellites much more and has the AoE related to the missile type.  

New Mechanic:  Break-Aways
Partly to reflect how more countries appear over time, the concept of break-aways (b-as) is as so:  A b-a is a city or group of cities that turn into their own civ.  Different civs’ cities can secede into the same state.  Secession during hard times is more common, but you can grant autonomy peacefully (it starts with very good relations with you.) All-out culture-flipping from Civ IV won’t happen, but some culture/tourism/ideology mechanics are similar in how the area changes its opinion.  Attacking your or your allies’ b-as generates extra warmonger penalties for you, and you gain no experience or great general points for fighting its units.

New Mechanic:  River Travel.  Available at sailing.
Ships and sea trade can move through rivers on tiles that border rivers, but the spot counts as occupied like land military units.  Only military unit and one civilian unit can be on a canal/river, and sea units and land units both count towards the limit.  If two naval units fight on a river and one is upstream of the other, the uptream unit gets a combat boost.

 

New Spy Mechanics:
Spies can now steal knowing where all a civ’s current cities are.  If an enemy spy is in a city, you can set a defensive spy to make an enemy team see a city that isn’t there.  If the city is faked to be in clouded territory, it makes up terrain types, even if the spot is really in the middle of the ocean or on ice.  You don’t get true vision of or around the fake city.  Get a spy, upon researching Stealth, who is of the same level as your best spy.  

New Mechanic:  Random events for unpredictability and so weird effects can be caused by unique units/buildings/traits.  Statue of Zeus seems similar to this.  Disaster centers and such can lessen effects and space programs could deter asteroids from one team.  Tiles visually seen as flooded, erupting with lava, hurricanes actually show up on the tiles, and so on.

 

New Mechanic:  Wonder Resources:
Can specialize resources *with a great scientist, merchant, engineer, or prophet,* turning them into wonder versions, like Lamborghini for cars and Dom Pérignon for wine.  Wonderfied resources give one culture and gold to their tiles, an extra copy, and your cities get double the “we love the king” quality if you satisfy their desire with the resource.  Water resources can become wonder resources when the creating unit is embarked on top of them.

 

New Mechanic:  Can shut down buildings in your cities every 30 turns, which also causes unhappiness.  Can also have a world resolution to shut down all buildings on one type until the motion is repealed.  

New Mechanic:  Unit Change:  Stealth Bomber:  Sustains almost no damage except from stealth fighters and future era things.  Now costs 2 aluminum and 33% more production/purchase cost.

 

New Mechanic:  Golden Railroad Spike:  Get golden age points if you’re the first player to connect two of their cities by railroad. 

 

New Mechanic:  A new act called the Outer Space Treaty, when passed, restricts missiles from being shot at space targets, and you can’t shoot missiles from space.

New Mechanic:  Ecology allows seeding forests and jungles.
New Mechanic:  Change to Stadiums:  World Games production is increased by 20% in this city.
New Mechanic:  Bombers can target improvements
New Mechanic:  Helicopters can cross water
New Mechanic:  Ballistics increases the strength of units in forts and citadels. 
New Mechanic:  Radar gives access to air trade routes and also gives one more trade route.
New Mechanic:  Airports increase the range of cargo planes.
New Mechanic:  Railroads are now available at Steam Power.  Railroad tech is now called Modern Post.
New Mechanic:  Giant Death Robots are only available after completing an ultratech, and are way stronger.
New Mechanic:  Globalization also gives extra gold to East India Companies and one more trade route.
New Mechanic:  Spaceship Factories now have 8 maintenance, but cost less the more chemicals you have.
New Mechanic:  XCOM Squad can get intercepted by some space units.
*I really think China should be magenta.*
*There could be a DLC where the quotes are read by different celebrities with annoying voices.*

Future Era has cool city graphics, but they’re still culturally flavored!
Farms turn into circles/hexes.  Mines turn into holes down the middle of hills.  Citadels have tesla coils that shock units when the aoe damage effect happens.  Trading posts are like Times Square/Shinjuku.  Lumber mills are forests with a section of a tree farm.  Fishing boats are fisheries.  Arcologies involve parts of cities float off the ground and parts of the cities are covered by sci-fi shields, but not all.

New architecture/city graphics.  There are general regions of the world that have their own building styles, and within these groups, different civs use different colors for the walls of small buildings, the roofs of small buildings, sometimes the corners of small buildings, the walls of skyscrapers, and the glass of skyscrapers.  Some new effects that show up in Future Era are also determined by civ choice.  I have the colors and examples of source architecture, plus concept art for new graphics.  The architectural styles with examples of civs belonging to them follow:

Art Deco:  Iroquois, America, Brazil, Israel
Gothic:  England, France, Germany, Spain
Soviet:  Russia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland
Classical:  Minoa, Greece, Rome, Byzantium
African:  Mali, Congo, Zulu, Nigeria
Middle Eastern:  Egypt, Persia, Arabia, Ottoman
South Asian:  Harappa, Chola, Indonesia, India
East Asia:  China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia
Block:  Maya, Aztec, Inca, Pueblo
