Notes -
Dreaming up a game like this, I'd put the emphasis on it being a living world rather than a very complex, but largely static boardgame (you do touch on this with the fog of war bit, in a way).
Take playing "tall" in baseline EU4 - it amounts to stacking modifiers and clicking a button when you have the points; if you don't click, nothing happens. Compare to EU4+MEIOU - goods flow and populations rise, development increases along the trade routes, you can at most shape the flows. I love in particular how, with low state capacity and sky-high corruption (includes local, non-state interests), you initially are barely in control, and how you get to take this inefficient, inert society and get to build its momentum, rolling towards modernity.
Gimme a game that does that better, and preserves player agency.
One of the reasons I threw Civ into the mix is because I think the additional latency from LLM calls would be less of an issue if it was turn based. Hardly an insurmountable problem, you could phone home on in-game triggers or after X time in a real time game, but it would simplify things.
