Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I, for one, am really happy they are steering away from "traditional" Civ leaders for this iteration.  Hopefully the gameplay is significantly changed as well.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well a mix. Some seem to be pretty standard for Civ.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

Sure, but the fixed ones seem to be those who are somewhat lacking in iconic figures (see: The Aztecs) in comparison to places like China, Britain, France, etc.

Well it'd be pretty hard to topple Adolf Hitler for Germany.

China and England both have a leader that was present in Civ 4. Portugal has the same dude from Civ5 unless I'm reading things wrong.

Nah, Portugal got Crazy Mary in CIV5.

Martinus

I think he means Brazil. Portugal is not even in Civ6 vanilla.

Solmyr

Scythians first look video. Seems they are the new Mongols/Huns.

Btw, here is a leaked poster with what are likely the different civs and leaders: http://well-of-souls.com/civ/images/civ6_portrait_bingo1.jpg

 :lol:

Actually it's queen Jadwiga.

Valmy

Huh. What did she do besides marry some Lithuanian thus creating one of the largest nations in...oh I get it.

She also restored the Krakow University (by selling her own jewelry) and was generally a very colourful individual (her love for the Habsburg prince who was her original bethrothed was a stuff of legend, yet she ended up marrying Jagiello for political reasons).

With characters like Cleopatra, Catherine de Medici and Jadwiga, they are clearly going for personalities over (military) accomplishments, which is fine with me, to be honest.

I have no problem with it I was just being silly.
