You may remember a blog post about some 'house rules' I put together for Civilisation Revolution... umm. I've spent a little more time working on them.
210+ page PDF. TeX source. PNG tech tree. GraphViz source for the tech tree.
I have it on good authority that this isn't how you design a game.
(Doing this just reinforces in my mind how awkward it is to design a tech tree, and how clumsy a game mechanism it is).

Very nice, now what are you going to do with it?
A.
Well there's only 3 insurmountable problems that I can see:
a) being a derivative work
b) impossible to develop AI for
c) impossible to make multiplayer interesting and resolve quickly
I've figured out a cunning way of solving b & c. So that leaves a and a whole lot of development time.
For a) you can get inspired by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeciv
