You mean playing on a very large map, but I think it is not very
interesting because in a game you won't meet more than 4-10
persons, so "having" more than 10 persons in the game is not
really useful if you don't meet them.

Also, when having many players, you will need at a point that not
all player require to join at the same moment (saying than 100
persons start the game at 8pm is difficult), then it becomes
difficult to handle civ-like political/technical progression
because newcomers will be too weak compared to older players.

Developing trade could be interesting, though we need to know how
it will be used. Also, maybe it will complicate even more the
game?

As of how goods and "money" will be handled, my thoughts were to
have a list of basic stuff ("matieres premieres" in french) such
as water, food, wood, energy, steel, and you need to anticipate
the availability of them, in order to build your batiments and
run them (e.g. a batiment needs xx quantity of yy to be built,
and zz to be run); then you can try to starvate your opponent.

We could think of exchanging goods between races like you
propose, it could add an interesting dimension to the game, like
for example "I can't make war with him because I need his wood";
it could also be "I need to conquer his wood factories".

Yes, could be interesting! :-)
