please read, atleast point 2.
1.now im starting to wish some changes about new eras like, in order to investigate X technology, you must complete some missions, and some of those missions must be done by playing "mini games" related to the era. "my lord, we have discovered a unic asteroid! it contains a rare material that would let us improve our spaceships engines as we have never imagined before. the problem is . . . we don't have the support of the rest of the countries because the asteroid is located in a very dangerous zone (a lot of X, gama, UV rays, etc whatever the reason you want to put) and we need their support, otherwise, we will never be able to create that new technology"- so, you need to talk and accept the missions of 3 to 6 different quests givers (they are the president of some countries for example) and comple them. and when you complete the last one then you discover that the last NPC quest giver is bad and then you must do an extra mission in order to "defeat or catch him" or maybe he convince you to do something evil and depending of your actions you can unlock an extra feature that other players could not have for have a different "end", and finally , you can also unlock the new technology. with this, I think new eras could be more enjoyable and memorable, more than just "spend X amount of goods and FP and that's it". what do you think guys?
2.also, I still think that if in the future, a new era gives us an alien contact, it would bea good idea to choose between 2 or 3 different types of alien civilizations in order to give the game more variety. if you choose civilization 1, the buildings and GB available for you will have an unic dessign, the same if you choose civilization 2 or 3. civilization 1 could be more "production oriented" so, factories, and GBs should give you more FPs, goods, gold, supplies, etc, and more defense to protect what you produce. civilization 2 more "military" oriented; more attack, faster military units productions, less FPs and good production so you must trade with other civilizations or attack them, and civilization 3 a mix of 1 and 2, or maybe a support civilization. what I mean with "support civilization"? imagine a great building that gives to you and all your guild members extra benefits to do more battles in guild battlegrounds, or to help a friend.
