I propose that whales and emu's be added to the roster of enemy animals that roam the map. For whales I propose that they roam the ocean and defeating them in battle will give the winning player large amounts of gold. This could give more incentive to explore the ocean, as well as aid in leveling up naval units.

For emu's I propose they spawn in squads of around 3, and reduce the food yield  of tiles within a one tile radius of the emu's. Their role would be to basically harass the players economy rather than to just serve a threat to roaming player armies. I'd also like a random "Emu War" event to sometimes occur where all players will be suddenly swarmed by abnormally high numbers of emus. :)

Australia for Industrial or Modern era pls! ;)
