Post-patch wishlist

Make declaring war a more costly endeavor. As it is I have nearly a dozen factions at war with me, many I am not even bordering. War should have some major drawbacks associated with it, to make the AI(and human player) think twice about declaring it.

Make factions getting stomped grovel at your feet, not make ridiculous demands of gold for peace.

Have an option to turn off animations on the campaign map. I can only watch those diplomats try to bribe my cities so many times a turn before I want to strangle someone. And god forbid a half dozen generals die in a battle, I will be here until tomorrow watching them fall over on the campaign map.
