I might have mentioned this before but I'd like to see some of these things in the game.

Politics: Different governments. I'd also like to see other empires shift in government policy because of new leadership that might lead to war and other situations.

Economic: Add a currency and unique trade items. Owning certain item would earn a financial benefit and allow use of certain technology. It might make certain tech cheaper. Opens up possiblity of an economic victory.
