Since this project is heavily hindered by the fact that we can't mess around with the game files why not export caveman2cosmos to an open source civ engine such as free civ: http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
That way you could modify and code the engine the way you like and get it to go into space without breaking rules and limitations that civ 4 has. Maybe this would be a good base rather than starting from scratch... Of course a civ engine with better graphics than free civ would be preferred ;)
Anyway discuss your thoughts :)
