An aberration of nature
Everyone talks about the wonders of important/historical leaders, but I often find that the emergent leaders are often overlooked which I feel is kind of unfair. For example, I consider Naxus the strongest Amurite leader because his traits make apprentices 4 strength units with a free summon equivalent to building a warrior for fifty hammers all for 180 hammers making him the strongest military leader. His arcane units also get the necromancer promotion which means faster experience and faster healing from battles. Since his arcane units will also eventually become undead they can also get cannibalize.
Reorx on the other hand, gets a production advantage that is just plain ridiculous. Ordinarily, a semiarid hill is 2 hammers. With Veinhunter it becomes 3 a fifty percent increase, essentially the same thing as god king. With God king running it becomes 4.5 hammers or a 125% increase. Of course if your just working one it rounds down to 4.
Emergent leaders also have on of the most overpowered tricks in the game. If you don't get any abilities by taxation or if you refuse to get any traits and keep the emergent trait and you're running republic then you can get an infinite number of traits. I found this out accidentally through Reorx when I wasn't lucky enough to activate any traits by midgame and made my customary switch to republic. It's a beautiful thing when you have financial and aggressive and organized and vein hunter running at the same time. Of course I am not aware if this is a bug or not and if it is due for removal soon. Now my question is, does anyone else have a emergent leader that is their favorite?
