Something tells me that this just means the civ's leaders. 8 civs, 8 leaders. I think whatever that site was misinterpreted the info.

And, since we know that Firaxis is proud of their leaderheads, it woudln't suprise me that they would include this in their press release


Though of course, I would like to have more diversified leader-types. would add a new dimension to the game.

[Solver]

Undoubtly it's leaders of the Civs, for there are 8 new civs.

[DarkCloud]

What are the new civs?
Or do we not know yet?

[Spiffor]

Still not.
I suppose Firaxis won't speak out before E3, 22-24 May.
Btw Darkcloud, are you interested with the EC3X list ?

[Jon Shafer]

It means that the 8 new civs will each get a new leaderhead (ala Elizabeth, Bismarck, Mao Tse Tung, etc.) each. *Waves a little flag* Big surprise there .

If you go to the official Civ 3 site, you can read the following:

Play the World will also expand your Civilization experience by adding eight new "Great Leaders;" eight new civilizations with specialized units for each; new map features including airfields, outposts

But why does Firaxis mention them if they are only the leaders of the eight new civilizations? Its superfluous. BTW Firaxis normally uses "Great Leader" to designate specific units: the great military leaders. So it could mean that we will have 8 new great leaders units... But it's all speculation, of course...

ahh, that was off the official site. I thought it was off the avant or whatever it was site.

I agree that it is superfluous to say 8 new great leaders, when there would be new leaders anyway.

just wait and see I guess

hi ,

maybe they should have leaders for each era , but , since a lot of people would like other things , ....... , .....

have a nice day

them announcing 8 new leaders really confused me too, I figured that that was a given since there would also be 8 new civs. What were they going to do, recycle the 16 original leaders? "Bismark of the Germans AND the {insert civ name here}" :-)
Really strange . . . you'd think they'd put in the fact that there will be 8 new Unique Units before they put in the new leaders in their press release.

hi ,

maybe they made a plain and simple misstake , ....

have a nice day

that is probably it, the person writing up the release wasn't too aquainted with the game and just saw that as some information to put in. Not to say they're idiots, but the best anology I can come up with would be someone who has no experience with cars mentioning that a certain model can also go in reverse.
