Many civvers have suggested that the Great People list is too short.
I think that we should extend it. I suggest the following principles:
* Women and non-anglosaxons should be represented.
* Live people are usually controversial, please stick to dead ones.
* "Merchants" is a broad category, including explorers, economists and entrepreneurs.
* Founders of in-game religions (Buddha, Jesus etc) should be off the record.
Here is a starter:
Prophets
Saint Birgitta, Gilgamesh, Herophile, David, Ali ibn Abi Taib, Constantine, Martin Luther, Bahá'u'lláh, Joseph Smith, Mother Theresa, Tenzin Gyatso
Scientists
Emilie Chatelet, G. W. F. Hegel, Wilhelm Röntgen, Max Planck, Saytendra Nath Bose, Mileva Maric, Lise Meitner
Engineers
Marcus Vispanius Agrippa, Theodore Judah, Alfred Nobel, Walter Gropius, J. Robert Oppenheimer
Merchants
Sir Francis Drake, Karl Marx, Charles Lindbergh, Friedrich von Hayek,
Deng Xiaoping, Sir Edmund Hillary
Artists
Leos Janocek, Peter Tchaikovsky, Leo Tolstoy, Selma Lagerlöf, Elvis Presley, Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Warhol, John Lennon
