I'm not programmer, but to me, to have both option available (simultaneous / not simultaneous) would not be a big deal technically.
In fact, it would be very interesting if someone could develop a mod like this. Il could be done "easily" by playing a "fake" neutral phase between every player phase.
Actually it would be a ton of work to go back into a game and redesign it like this. It is possible to design a game from the ground up to play both serial and parallel turns. But thats not how Dom3 was written.

And personally, I didnt like the simultaneous turns when I started playing either. But over time I've actually come to really enjoy them. As others have posted many interesting tactics availabe in dom3 would disappear. But moreso, I find that simultaneous turns force you to outwit your opponent, rather than just out-click them. Once I came to that realization, dominions went to a whole new level of strategic complexity for me.
