    Reagan as a leader is a giggle.

      Hitler would be a great leader, but only if it became possible to eliminate Judaism from your city. Perhaps the special building for Nazi Germany could be the 'concentration camp'. If built, it could totally stop war caused unhappiness.

          You've been longer than I have, and you really think this is a new idea?

              The fact that Reagan is considered "famous but not necessarily deserving" while Roosevelt is already a leaderhead and Abraham Lincoln is not I find fascinating.

              Not that it surprises me that Firaxis would be biased against Republican presidents, mind you. That seems to be one of their things.

              As for Clinton... give me a break. Woodrow Wilson and/or Teddy Roosevelt each deserve it at least 10 times more than Clinton (though neither as much as Reagan IMO).

                  I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks expansion packs are full of crap and little meat.

                  Seriously everyone, is there really a crying need for a particular leaderhead when so much more needs to be addressed?

                      I doubt you are, since Civ x-packs do not have a good history. Still, maybe this time...............

                        Worth buying for the scenario that lets you play as the barbarian alone ... the other scenario that lets you bring Christianity to the savages of North America also sounds sweet ....

                          They do sound intriguing. Just heard it went gold.

                              Yeah, more so than usual. Hope it's more than just hype.

                                And, I'm thinking Chairman Mao has Adolf beaten in deathtoll... Of course, those were just chinese, so nobody cares.
                                Hitler has also been neatly beaten by tovarich Stalin in the scale of human genocide.

                                So why not ? I don't understand Firaxis stance here:
                                Either they avoid modern time disgusting genocidal leaders and drop Stalin & Mao, or they don't care and then they should include Hitler.

                                Of course best traits for Hitler would be Charismatic and Aggresive and that could be unballanced
