My thoughts on the Civ leaders:
I agree about Joan - she should one of France's "great leaders." The overall leader should be either Louis or Napoleon.
China - well, tons of choices here, but I'd go with Chin Chir Yuan Di (I've seen that spelled many different ways, so I apologize if my version is wrong).
Russia - Peter the Great
Egypt - Ramses II
United States - I find it amusing that no one really considers Washington, our first president (myself included). Lincoln is fine, but you could argue for FDR.
Persian - I agree - Cyrus.
Greece - Well, think about it... Alex was a Macedonian, not a Greek. I might go with Solon. The problem is that the actual Greeks were fond of city-states, not empires, so finding one leader for them is hard. Hence, Alexander.

Peter is an excellent choice for russia, but i dont understand all the catherine-bashing. She was one of their greatest leaders, even if she was german!
China-Liu Pang...1st han emperor...officially the golden age historically

Also, freddy the great might be good for germany, but so is bismarck...
