These two things are quite easy to implement, I am surprised that they aren't in yet. A simple mute to turn off sound would be great in the settings menu. Also, a simple random civ would be great as well. Are they in the works, or not a priority right now? I know for myself, it is annoying when I cannot mute from within game. I hit the keyboard mute (from Ubuntu) and it does not respond from within the game. Whenever i have a phone call, I either have to close out the game or search quickly for headphones. Anyhow, that would be real handy keep up the good work
