Modern armors proved to be a nuisance since all resources went to ICBM and it was indeed a key. Tanks were good only to wrap up what has been already evident. Just remembered killing 25 or so Modern Armors landed by Matrix in a single turn without losses. Also, luxuries and resources were of extreme importance. That is the reason for no trades between players. Once Uranium is disconnected for a few turns, game is over. Same goes for luxuries. Also, IMHO, we may try to play without settlers. And on a Standard map with more cities. And with less ridiculous improvements like temples whose only purpose was to feed the nuclear race. At least having a possibility to research will prolong the life of Universities and Libraries for a few extra turns.
