The absolute dream would be to have map area plug ins, to gradually fill the world with the map, Asia, the Pacific and so on, then extend the game into the Napoleonic era, and hopefully extend past that until 1900 (fingers crossed)
Also the 1860+ period could easily be done, just with a much larger emphasis on loose order troops, units of 60 men spread out with single shot bolt actions and the ability to go prone and make even more use of cover would be easily possible and awesomely fun.
Furthermore, towards the end of the period it's entirely possible to have the emphasis shift within the game from cavalry to infantry just like real life, we have technology research and everything and having the game shift in this way would just add more flavour to the game rather then ruining it. Even in the late ETW game i find cavalry easier to destroy with long range riflemen becoming available.
Also i desperatly want to see pickelhaubes in a game :P So we have to go 1842-71 at least!
