I realize it is a ways away, but I'd like to see more control of the nations picked. Perhaps you equip units yourself (from a set list available to that nation) and have similar control over leaders and mages.

Also, what would be fun if mana wasn't so tied to special sites. In my limited experience, the nation focused on few elements (like the Agatha) will almost always have fewer gems than a nation like the T'ien C'hi (with more diverse magic). I realize that Agatha have other advantages, but it would be cool to see a way to equalize specialized nations and diverse nations when it comes to gem income (one suggestion would be more Gem Generating Globals or a Domain that is prone to produce a certain type of gem).
