it is been ages since my fourth leader, and i have won more battles than the total of all previous ones but no more GLs any more..

I haven't had one yet!!!

If each nation gets named leaders and you only get leaders appropriate to your nationality then I would expect there to be a limit.

I've only had 2 GL in 2 games, but then again, waring haven't
been my main occupation since I've been trying to explore the
new ways of winning.
There are an x number of names of great leaders for each civ in
the editor, but I don't know if this is the maximum
number.

Here's the facts from the editor:
CIV: #GL Names:
Aztecs 10
Rome 8
India 8
America 7
England 7
Babylon 6
Egypt 6
Russia 6
China 6
Iroquis 5
France 4
Germany 4
Greece 4
Zululand 4
Japan 3
Persia 3

It could be that u could choose the name of next leader
yourself? Maybe not very likely, but could be..
Would be nice if someone reported here if they got more GL
for "their" civ than what's listed here!!

Persia only gets 3 !!!??? Dang, i've been playing as Persia, have only ever gotten one GL (bit of a pacifist). That seems a bit off though, Persia had plenty of GLs.... Darius, Cyrus, DariusII, Artaxerxes, Ahasuerus....

Yeah ive been wondering about this. I have had 6 games (3 Romans, 2 Russia, 1 France (current)) and I have not had single friggin' leader ever show up despite victories up the wazoo, lots of elite units...

LOL so i have absolutely no experience using armies, rushing wonders ..etc (and geez at the way the AI cranks out wonders.. I could have used a few.. well next time i may just demand 100 million from my neigbour buy the thing.)

In my one game I have completed (Chieftan tutorial, Romans), I retired having gotten 2 leaders.

The first I used to create an Army (3 tanks) which was rather useless as my opponents were defending with Riflemen conscripts. The second I finished a wonder with.

Built Military Academy. Of course, Military Academy does NOT create GREAT Leaders, just Army commanders. So don't expect to finish wonders with them.

I had two leaders. And I wanted to rush a wonder using one but I couldnt because I couldnt unload the 3 m.tanks he had.

In my experience, playing with a Militaristic civ REALLY improves the odds of getting a great leader. In a recent game as Japan, I got one in only my fourth or fifth victory with an elite unit, and before, playing Romans, I had two by the end of the Ancient era.

Generic

Um... relax guys. If you open your Text Folder located in your Civ3 Folder you will see a list of names for "Generic Leaders" as well. Thus this make the minimum # of leaders 17 AND if you notice towns are named "New (old town name)" so it wouldn't surprise me if Leaders were given "(old leader name) II" (their son/daughter) as well.

I've heard "Beer" is the best leader! You have to be at a certain age to get him, but he'll make your people happy.

The first time you get a Great Leader, don't use him to rush build a Wonder!

Make an army out of him, then go win a battle with the army. Now you can build the Heroic Epic (increases your odds of another GL, I've got two more as the Americans so far in my current game), the Military Academy (you can create more armies without needing to use a Great Leader, essential when kicking AI butt), and the Pentagon (once you have three armies in the field).

You can't build those small wonders any other way.

[Sarxis]

You may just be kidding, but...

Sorry, but having a GL named 'Beer' is just plain stupid.

I think I will be doing some editing.

[HatchetMan]

Thanks for the update, pyrodrew!
I'm feeling a bit of a relief since i dig playing France..
And I think "Beer" would have to be the best leader
as well!!
