   Yes, i think this is a great idea :-)

   That way we can give the hability to change the type of expantion 
from war to creating new cities in new islands. We can give too, in the 
defence advisor, the concept of  border cities and safe cities. That 
way, some of them can be more fortified and the safe ones can build 
attack units to counter-attack.
   We can switch the ai into expansion - as explained before -. Or We 
can switch it to build improvements of cities - i really make cities 
ground as fast as i can and the ai leaves the cities at size 8 most of 
the time... -. So we can have 4 periods of investemts ( increase income 
with markeplaces-etc-courhouses, increse food production, increase 
production-decrease pollution, increase research). And we can tell the 
ai to increase trade with caravans when it wants to or when it needs 
more luxuries.
