I would like to see a map or event with a better chance to use more specialty units. It seems to me that the most effective strategy in most games is to pick a few units, concentrate on researching them to max level, then build unstoppable doomstacks to crush lesser opponents. That seems to be fine for a lot of players, but to me it takes a lot of the strategy away from the game.
I like to experiment with a lot of the specialty units, but if I spend time researching those units, there's likely another player out there building a full stack of maxed out units that will crush my more broadly researched but lower leveled military.
My proposal is make each level of research progressively much more expensive than the last. I think this would encourage players to invest in some of the lesser used units and force different strategies than the max level doomstacks I see players using over and over.
