I just think it’s so comical every time I think about it. Of all the Persian leaders, they picked the one for sure 99% of players would have abandoned. Darius I is so powerful that it’s been said he’s the strongest in the game. Financial/Org. In fact, this is part of the reason why Firaxis delayed making him available for so long. The killer UU is just extra icing on the cake.
But no… they don’t take the (overpowered) leader… they take the war-monger Persian leader instead. The one who has absolutely no economic traits. Haha.
It is either a very smart move, or very dumb, we shall see. At least I can see where IMP speeds up settler expansion, and charismatic adds an extra happy or two. So if they find out they have no horses, there is a little bit of compensation.
It is certainly not as bad a mistake as taking Tuku, but in both instances, they are announcing their cards before the hand is over.
