This part (the changing of environments) was new to me. Sounds cool, but raises the question of modability even more.In addition, you will see the leaders in a different environment according to the situation, and though the only screenshots we have seen place them each inside a large room with red curtains, we will aparently be seeing them in plains, battle-feilds and on cliffs.

IGN Preview said:Each leader has a unique scene that reflects who they are, so you'll meet Gandhi by the river, Napoleon on the battlefield and Bismarck in his office. The backgrounds are animated, and in some cases even interactive, so you'll see Askia standing in front of a burning town he's just conquered, or watch as Washington casually spins a globe
Other previews pointed out that the background will be different according to the leader, NOT the situation.

What if Askia hasn't managed to conquer anything
In addition, the leaders will all have different personalities, ways of moving and reacting to events (Caesar declares war in a very nonchalant manner, Washington seems depressed when he looses, etc.) and will speak their native tongue. This means that while I will be able to understand what England’s Queen Victoria, America’s President Washington, and France’s Napoleon are saying, what Greece’s leader (Pericles?) will say will be Greek to me (and I’m not even going to start talking about Wu Zetian’s Chinese)
I'm also quite interested by they say Pericles is the Greek leader.
