In a multiplayer can you have 2 of those civs that have 2 leaders? for instance an england with victoria and an england with elizabeth in 1 mp game?
2 englands 2 different players? doubt it but it might be fun so I thought I would ask.:crazyeye:

That would be very interesting if that was possible. Now that should be called the "Battle of Britan."

Well. I just tested this idea using the custom game setup in SP (which is pretty much the MP setup anyway) and yes you can have 2 of the same civ using different leaders. For that matter you can have 2 that are the same leader! :) I tested various team setups and confirmed you could have say a 5 player game where everyone is Gandhi for instance. As far as the city list is concerned, you just get the next in the list. I had a 5 player game where on turn 2, the top 5 cities were Dehli, Bombay, Madras, Bangalore, and Calcutta. It was quite interesting. :D I guess this brings a whole new way to have "civil war."

You can have too identical leaders in a MP game, but I would advise against that as if you ever have to drop and hotjoin and both civs are open you have no way of telling witch "Ghandi" you are.
