There's two threads on the topic, and I found out that this post was better suited here(a little too late, but better late than never), especially since noone seems to have thought of the Egyption leader being Ramses.

Learn the difference between a tirade and a campaign dude
A tirade will follow when civ4:w will be released without new concepts

See my post in the other thread for more info.

I second the addition of more female rulers. My wife loves Civ4, but she's a bit whiney about the lack of female leaders.

Well - here's the problem.. the English are both females, the French are both males. Only the Russians give an option of a male or female leader.

If more Civs had a male/female choice, it would help to level up the playing field for female gamers.

There could be a mini game for female leaders only where you have to choose which hat you’re going put on and how you’ll do your hair when you make diplomatic contact.

New technologies could reveal new option for eye shadow and stuff!

We don't know for sure that it's Ramses yet, so far it's just a male Egyptian. Unless you noticed something I missed. Good to see Egypt get another leader though. I'm not really sure why England and Russia needed another leader, I'd think it would be better to give them to a civ that only has one so far. Though I like the idea of Churchill in the game. And Stalin for that matter. It's going to mean some WW2 scenarios for sure.

It makes sense to me that the Pharaoh would be Ramses II, since the expansion is named "warlords," and devoted to great military leaders.

You know, my girlfriend loves Civ4 too, and she complains about the lack of female leaders as well. Maybe they could have done the same as Civ2 and have one of each. Oh well.

I agree with you on that but as someone once pointed out, it wouldn't make any sense to just create female leaders in order to be politically correct. History is dominated by male leaders, it's just a fact of life. It doesn't really bother me if I end up with a female leader in my games. Once you start playing, it's irrelevant.

As stated in other forum discussions, the reason there isn't that many female rulers as compared to male ones is because throughout history, men have dominated governments. Firaxis, however, does try to put as many females as it really can into the game (ie, Egypt is ruled by a female, when there are a number of males that could easily qualify.. and one may be included in the XP from the early pics we got).

Well, I instantly thought of Ramses when I saw the pic. Here's a pic from Civ1:


Compare it with the concept art from C4W:
