How about a fifth choice: NONE!!!I drink to one other, and may that other be he, to drink to another, and may that other be me! -
Just choose "Almost never"... I consider them equivalent for what I'm trying to find out.Comment

Perhaps I should of made myself clear (sorry). I mean NONE as in "Never ever since I bought the game last December!"
No joke, I never ever got a leader. I don't goto war that much, but when I do I raze and kill everyone. I always play as Rome to.
So I never rushed a wonder, never built an army nor the wonders that go with it. Hell, I built more Iron Works then leaders!

Oh, that's exactly what I thought you meant. I just don't want to split up the "nones" and the "hardly evers". I'd change the text if it let meOriginally posted by Thrawn05

I usually get more than one a game. It helps to plays as the germans, Panzers + Militeristic trait is a big help."Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."

Its very rare that I get a single Great Leader if I play as a non-Militaristic civ. However, as a militaristic one, since I tend to be more aggressive, the chances are far greater, though I hardly get as many as I want."Corporation, n, An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." -- Ambrose Bierce

I've had eight in my last game alone ( and seven in the game before that ) but then again I spent most of that game ( & previous ) waging war against my AI opponents, 'tis the only way to keep up on Emperor I find.
Most satisfying thing about the game was when the AI nuked my best city, I returned the favour with five nukes.

Oh I get some of them all the time usually two or three. Of course I'm more or less a warmonger and war is a constant factor in my politics (most of the time I'm at war with at least one civ). So battling all the time gives you a fair chance of getting three of these guys during a game.Dance to Trance

I never play as a militaristic civ and also rarely go to war, so I don't see many GL's in my games.
However, even when I'm not militaristic but I have I strong army and go to conquer (like in my last game with the Immortals) I get at least one GL.
So, from the poll's point of view: yes, usually I get at least one in every game when I am militarily quite active.
However, I've never obtained a GL defending, only attacking. Anybody?"The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not. "

Yes, I got a GL once when defending. It was up against a large number of AI units. So it was upgrading from regular, veteran and elite. And then I got a GL!
Only to loose it again when that unit finally looses against that horde of AI units....

and not civ2. Just an honest mistaike to maike 
Usually 3-4 until modern (where I usually end the game)
The most I had was 11 or 12 in a standard game (militaristic). Should I mention I won that game
