Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
OK, first let's toss out the civs used in games 1-11. Greek, Zulu, Dutch, India, China, Rome, NA, Khmer, Ottoman, Egypt, and HRE. That still leaves like two dozen civs, let alone leaders!
My Short List:
Carthage - Hannibal; economic and research powerhouse.
England - Elizabeth; powerful, well-rounded civ suited to just about any strategy.
Inca - Huayna; another economic/research powerhouse. There's a Huayna thread active in the Strategy forum. It might be fun to play him.
Japan - Tokugawa; let's play the red team so Mr. T has a chance to win for once, eh?
Sumeria - Gilgamesh; never tried this one, but it looks interesting and has some good early benefits.
Other leaders I'd enjoy:
Babylon - Hammurabi; haven't tried him.
Maya - Pacal; ditto
Persia - Darius; ditto
Celts - Boudica; What if Vercingetorix had won?
Ethiopia - Zara; early culture, and Oromos are fun.
France - Louis; nice balanced leader.
Germany - Frederick; hard at higher difficulties, though.
Korea - Wang; financial is always nice.
Mali - Mansa; ditto, plus skirmishers.
Spain - Isabella; she's not a doormat in BtS. Medieval powerhouse.
and finally....
Mongolia - Kublai (or Genghis - doesn't really matter); Victory condition = Conquest only. Rule the world, or die in the attempt!
Okay - tonight when the kids have gone to bed, and the temperature has dropped to a balmy 27 degrees - I will wander out to the pool bar, get a nice cold frothy draught - and set up the actual poll from your choices.
So if your favorite isn't listed
I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

It's a tough life, but someone's got to do it........
Let your every day be full of joy, love the child that holds your hand, let your wife delight in your embrace, for these alone are the concerns of humanity.
