For non-Western civilizations, some Capitol techs can be directly researched at TC, which is also somewhat unfair. Maybe make those techs researchable at TC for Western civs as well, or introduce Capitol equivalents for other civs and move those techs to their Capitols and introduce 3 or so unique techs there.

Yes, capitols come too late in a game and serve no additional purpose.
In vanilla that’s fine, but every new culture group gets a whole lot of “bundled buildings”. Bundled economic buildings can always made fair as Europeans have factories. But it’s not that Europeans can get to imperial age really faster than others so they’ll need a special building to somewhat “delay” their access to imperial techs (even most casual games do not go to imperial)

I think they should follow the US state capitol model, accessible earlier in age 3 and with a few new techs, but a little weaker so that state capitol is still unique enough (it can train building wagons which is already very unique though):

Rework capitols?

Capitol is the only age 5-exclusive building that most games would never see (treaty not included) and serve only one purpose (other cive have those techs unlocked in regular buildings). The US state capitol is a good design, but we can keep their wagon-building and early build as a special feature. But “regular” capitols could be made more interesting following that direction: Available in age 4 Gives some additional civ-unique technologies (in both age 4 and 5; can be unlocked or made cheap…

But it could also follow the basilica model that gives unique “shipments”, much like the university in the NE mod.
