Or even Hitler. I mean when it comes to rushing production or raising an army after all........

Needless to say the Great Leaders need to have a lot of work done on them. I look forward to someone with sense and a basic non-biased knowledge of history to change it. ( not me... I'm much too laz.... busy. )

What a complete and utter nonsense!!!

Barbarossa is alright, as I have stated in another thread...

Richthofen? BS!! he was an ace, but not a leader as such! leaders should be generals, not mere Hauptmann-rank people

Hengest and Horsa are legendary names... they could as well have added Beowulf

Richthofen should be replaced by Moltke or Ludendorff, maybe Hindenburg... a WWII person should be in, as well as, say, Freerick the Great... everyone change his files like this !

El Awrence - are you sure Kesselring is the name of a German general? sounds more like a strategy than like a name... a Kesselring... well, it is when one army surrounds the other army... not a name

[Ecthy]

but maybe it is coincidentally the name of aan army general, I have no idea...

Why 3 mythical leaders? Why not Pericles, Demosthenes. Ptolemy (Alexanders general), Philip, Lysander and Leonidas. And why Ajax, he was just one of the people in the Trojan war, well actually there were two of them, but Agamemnon or Achilles were more significant. Finally why Ulysees, the roman name instead of Odysseus the Greek one.

Edit: Who's Zhukov?

[RunnerSan]

Edit: Who's Zhukov?

One of the best Russian generals in WW2. He led final assault on Berlin. He's favorite tactics was "wpieriod/nazad" (forward/fallback). Thanks to his great leadership many Russian soldiers lost their lives in stupid attacks. But Russia won thanks to the large reserves of manpower.

Roman:
Maximus???? The Romans have enough leaders.. Until to add Hollywood heroes...

Persia:
Ok

America:
Why not Pershing (WW1)? Too many Civil War generals, I think. But still good.

Iroquois:
I know some of them. But if we have Sitting Bull why not Cochise or Geronimo?

Germany:
Richtoffen:??? If I remember quite well he was a luftwaffe officer during the WWII and the well known ace... But why a leader???
Schlieffen or Ludendorff will be so better...
WWII: Von Manstein or Rommel...

English:
Hum Wallace and Boudicea....
Maybe Montgomery would be nice.

Egypt
Ok

Greece:
Argh?? Give me Agamemnon or Pericles, Philip(macedonian still)


Russia:
Stalin thought he was a great general and he leads his Red Army. Great man for the hurry still(Russia war effort)
Zukhov? I would prefer Tchouikov(Stalingrad) or Joukov
Lenin....Brusilov better...

China:
Well Kublai Khan: ok cos the mongol were assimilated by the Chinese...
Ghengis Kahn: not really...


India:
Hmm...well I know some name but for the others...

Aztecs:
Same as India...


Zulu:
Unknown.....

Japanese:
Alright but a little more...


Babylon:
Ok but maybe too many....

France:
Argh so poor?
Napoleon ok...
Richelieu ok
Maybe Louis XIV...
De Gaulle: great leader but not a general who fights a lot
Leclerc maybe
Charlemagne ok
Clovis maybe or Phillipe Auguste?

Actually, Richthofen was a pilot in WWI, but you're right: Why a leader?

[Wulfram]

Maximus isn't actually a too bad name because Pompey, a member of the triumvirate with Julius Caesar, was known as Pompey the great or Pompeius *Maximus*. That probably isn't what they were thinking of, but that's what I will think of.

Having Sitting Bull, Tecumseh and Red Cloud is bad as it is.

Field Marshal Albrecht Kesselring, leader of Army Group Southwest in Italy, overall commander in Italy after the collapse of Mussolini's regime. Opposed the allies at Naples, then retreated via the Gustav line and then the Gothic line.

Noooooooooo!!!!!
The civ is called "Iroquois", not "Amerind" (and not "Iroquis" either ).
There are plenty of real Iroquois military leaders to pick.
