I think the only other era worth doing next that would be fun would be the slave trade.you should be able free slaves,sell them to estates.buy estates and companies linked directly to it.hijack cargo or slave ships.even sell to militias or the plantation owners in the Caribbean or take a long journey to an African coast where you can capture or buy slaves directly.then once the balance is set they/you abolish or keep it in regions.even selling masses of slaves to either sides armies swings how the game evolves.quicker with slavery or slower with paid labour.as something early on and as a side hobby in the game.with no game end time,just evolution
