Playing an epic game as the Mayans...and I managed to score
4 great leaders through war..they were:
#1 Blue-Quetzal Macaw
#2 Eighteen Rabbit
#3 Cauac-Sky
#4 Leader
'Leader'? When you cycle through the list, don't you usually go back to the first leader name? Is this a bug?

That used to be this case -- this is probably one of those, "It's not a bug, it's a feature!" requiring longer leader lists which they thoughtfully did not provide -- and I mean, really, "Eighteen Rabbit"? Anybody got a Civilopedia entry for that one??

1) The 'Leader' seems to appear sometimes in all versions, so I'm not sure if that is really a C3C bug. Also, having more than 3 available names doesn't exclude it.
2) 18 Rabbit is one of the most important Mayan rulers (try Google et al.), though his name is derived from the stone-carved Mayan hyroglyphs, which also could mean something more abstract. But among archeologists, this name is considered correct.

Thank you! :) Live and learn -- I suppose it's the Anglicization which most gets on my nerves, because one does suspect that quite a bit of cultural context and significance has been lost in the translation.
Best,
