I mean, they are cool mechanic and all but...
...I am slightly upset at the fact that even if I play bronze age Kongo, isolated from the entire world by sea, deep in the jungle, I employ some white and Asian ladies and gentlemen. With names like Viktor. Just how the hell did they get here? Or to medieval Japan, or Inca, or really any civ because they are so ethnically diverse?
I am not sure what is worse: this or the fact they are going to return to guide every civilization we play, as some sort of time-travelling party. Civ shouldn't have returning characters apart from civ-specific leaders. So not only I will assign white conquistador-looking guy to oversee my Mbanza Kongo, I will have a deja vu of appointing the same exact guy to Tenochtitlan in my earlier Aztec game.
On top of that all, I almost never before complained on cartoon art style... But here it is so over the top it seriously lookes like taken straight from mobile game or Pixar movie.
Oh and they are not some sort of background aestethic. No, you are going to see those faces constantly. Hello, Chinese emperor, here we get some random barbarians from far west to guide Middle Kingdom.
Personally I would honestly prefer if they had only titles (Castellan, Educator etc), color code and symbol for everyone of them, and name generated from particular civ's list. Well there are mods but...
What do you think?
