Ed Beach has a hard-on for her. End of story.

I have to admit I get a chuckle out of comments like this since I actually know Ed and am acquainted with his family.

Pass my regards to him. He did a wonderful job on the game and I am perfectly happy with his leader choices, including Catherine.

Happy to do so.

His wife is going to be bummed to hear about him and Catherine though... :P

I don't know, wouldn't think either of them are particularly famous.  And if Catherine is famous, it's more like Louis XVI kind of fame.

Catherine definitely has more cachet, I would think. Though I guess that's not the right word as the Black Queen isn't generally viewed in a positive light.

That's African-American Queen to you.

Let's be positive - at least they didn't pick Marie Antoinette. :)

But that's the logical ending point of the "cachet" theory.

I still have to adjust to when people talk about Catherine, they now mean France and not Russia. :unsure:

Wait Catherine as in Catherine de'Medici?  Is she the French civ leader?  Whose idea was that?

Some Italians.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

My statement wasn't that the most know person ever for a particular nation should win out.  Just lesser known Blanche didn't seem to be more relevant. I'm not even sure what themed abilities one would want to give Blanche.

I like their idea of having interesting personalities as leaders.

How about animals as leaders?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

A civet was floated as an early leader but met with player base opposition.

After stomping out Japan (3 more cities to add to my already 8 city strong empire), Scythia unveiled musketmen in the year 800 AD. -_-

The French economy did well under her stewardship, she kept down unrest and rallied support for the Crown.
I'm not sure what Catherine's abilities would be other then stoking civil wars and having sons die young.  Intrigue I guess.
