The concept is simple: anyone who has a premium civilization can play unranked matchmaking that does not take the players' capital cities into account. It is just like a classic game of age of empires... no levels and no gear. No F2P getting matched up against epic'd out premium players, no lvl 11s vs lvl 38s, just pick your civ, full tech tree for the match, no bonuses, advisors, gear, etc. I see this possibly done two ways:
1) any premium player of any civ may select any civilization to play for the skirmish (sort of a try before you buy, good way for people to demo the other civs that get released) or,
2) you may select any civilization that you have the premium civilization for (good way to drive the season pass for people who don't want to grind out multiple capital cities).
Not only would this prove a nice break from grinding and eliminate the fear of being horrendously outmatched at low level preventing pvping, but also would help sell premium packages as well (i'd upgrade my capital in a heartbeat for that option) and help cater to the traditional RTS crowd. I see this as a great potential for selling premium packages and something that could not too difficultly be implemented into a patch. I hope this would be taken into consideration.
