While I am in favor of a HUGE game, there would appear to be some real issues with the computer required to manage all of that information - either you need massive amounts of memory, or you need a totally different structure of the game mechanism to store everything back to disc when it moves on to something else. Would tend to slow the entire experience to a crawl.

The aspect that I would like to see would be to extend the tech trees so that in a large game, you haven't researched everything there is to research before you are half way through the game (I know - it has been mentioned before).
