Can we think of 3 or 4 good leaders for each civ?

[monkspider]

It's hard to say for sure exactly many leaders each civ will have, but I imagine it's hard to think of more than 3 or 4 with, say, the Aztecs or Zulus.

IMO there could well be more options
for leader names. Those you have posted
are good alternatives, so I don't add anything.
At least Mong's list was ready to be used.

[DarkCloud]

Germans- Kaiser Wilhelm, Frederick Barbarossa
Americans- Alexander Hamilton. (A necessity), Thomas Jefferson

[Dinner]

I don't think Nehru would make sense as a head of state for India. True, he was influential in helping to end the British Raj but he also lead Pakistan (and Bangladesh's) succession from the Republic. Great leaders don't partition their country when they don't get their way.

[monolith94]

Thomas Jefferson.

[Panzer]

Romans:Pompeius, Marius, Sulla, Constantine the Great, Diocletian.

French: Bertrand du Guesclin. (bet you don't know this one )

Djoser, Huni, Khufu, Cheops

Khufu and Cheops are the same person.

Egyptians: Choefroe (Chefren).

[ranskaldan]

Chinese= Mao Tse Tung, Shi Huangdi, Gao Zu, Liu Bang, Wang Mang, Chou Huangking

Mmmm... Gao Zu and Liu Bang are the same person. Gao Zu's the 'ceremonial name', Liu Bang's the real name.
And I noticed that your entire list (except Mao) is taken from a narrow window of 230BC-1AD.., that's just two dynasties, the Qin and Han... why not from other eras?
And who the heck is Chou Huangking?

Anyway, here's a quick list of possible leaders:
Shi Huangdi, Liu Bang, Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Wu Zetian, Tang Minghuang (aka Li Longji), Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Kangxi, Qianlong, Sun Yat-sen, Mao, Deng Xiaoping

EDIT: corrected the name of Tang Minghuang

[Fiil]

It's a good idea, here are some of my choices:

Brits: Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, The Black Prince.

French: Napoleon, Vauban, Condé, Turenne.

Germans: Barbarossa...

Greeks: Leonidas...

Romans: Sulla, Marius, Trajan, Constantine.


Edited: I made a mistake!

[Ribannah]

Iroquois: Dekanawidah, Canaqueese, Lewis Cook, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Sagoyewatha

However, Firaxis already mentioned Tecumseh although he was Shawnee, not Iroquois. I expect Pontiac (Ottawa) to pop up as well.

[DarkCloud]

I surely hope they do not inlude Pontiac. Especially considering that the Iroquois hated the Ottawa indians... It would be better to include an Algonquin leader!

[brandon749]

LEts put Ronald Reagan on the list for Americans!

[Dr. Nick]

About Japan, I still don't understand how the hell Emperor Meiji Mutsuhito passes so unhindered in the civ series and even in this thread.

[Dr. Nick]

Also, I'd rather see some more PMs as British leaders... guys like Salisbury, Gladstone and Disraeli. And Cromwell as well for chrissake.
