Seriously I cant believe sanitation research and hospitals were over looked! Granted they dont need to be super complex but there should be away to keep cities clean. For example having a sewer system/aqueducts increase prestige as the city is clean and people want to live in clean cities. Hospitals can also increase a city's prestige as well and should offer a tangible benefit like increased unit health when stationed in a city with a hospital.

Of course this does not need to be overly complex since researching various advanced medical concepts is beyond the scope of this game, however there should be basic health and hygiene building/research.

Maybe. But this isn't a new game. It's an overhaul of an existing one. I don't think there's another two years to get it right. With limited time, limited developer numbers, and a lot of things that need doing, I think the chances of success increase drastically if you pick a focus and make the game really good at that. Trying to do more things at once then you have the capacity to do just results in weak implementations across the board, and a game that excels at something is better then a game that's mediocre at everything.

I very much agree with this. Also, not only will focusing on a part of the game streamline the entire gaming experience, it will also make balancing a lot easier. And everyone knows that a balanced game is a fun game :)

The concept of 'medical', 'civilians', or even 'clergy' on the battlefield and exempt from combat is a concept developed late in the Renaissance in Europe when formalized warfare was created (prior to that it was pretty much free game in terms of killing civilians or religious figures) so therefor red cross would not even work since they would have just been killed when trying to help the wounded.


 

 

Sorry, my bad :) I did some CPR training and didn't remember the organization that start it all. I thougth it was red cross but my memory failed me and I'm sorry. But, I know there was a group of knigth in the medieval time that was trained with the basic "First aid" treatment to help the other survive but couldn't remember the name of this organisation... but for the other part of your post, I didn't imply that the "red cross" would go for the sanitation, only helping gaining some more HP each turn in a city like if they were in an hospital .
