I put a blurb on the main page, and while listening, it seems that the leader abilities seem to be a mix between the system used in Civ3/4 and Civ5/6. I wonder if that'll work out nicely.

Alright this last video confirmed that the Shongai leader is actually Askia Muhammad I, with that (if you don't count Eva Perón, Jonh A. Macdonald and Benito Juárez who didn't get their names shown in the UI) the only mysteries left are who is the Inca leader that seens to be an Sapa Inca, and who is the white dress East Asian lady (most likely another Korean leader). Also, Alexander is confirmed as another leader for Greece, so no Macedon this time (despite we getting an separeted HRE from Germany). So 45 leaders and 40 nations:

That's a very impressive starting lineup for the vanilla game

It will be more impressive - or not - once we find out how many and how important the various Faction and Leader differences are. So far (and I have not been following ARA in detail) I've only seen a few examples, and not knowing all the details of the game-play, couldn't evaluate them for their effectiveness.

This still bothers me. He hated Australia, and did everything he could to get away, and stay away.

I was wondering if Dame Nellie Melba would be a better option... or Ned Kelly?

Although I'm not Argentinian, I don't understand the fetish many 4X game advocates have with having Argentinian civ's led by Eva Peron - the pretty face of her husband's Fascism!

There's so many great options.

David Ngunaitponi of the Ngarrindjeri nation was an indigenous inventor, lecturer, advocate, and preacher. He is known as the Australian Di Vinci. He'd make a great choice.
