Actually, the immersion factor is a HUGE part of the game for me. If not for the names of leaders and specifically named Uniques, the game would just be a boring chess game to me
I find it hard to believe anybody who claims to like this game purely for the gamplay is being honest with themselves. Think of it this way: What if it was just a basic program with x's and o's representing units and hexes representing tiles? And instead of leader screens popping up it was code which you chose between to affect what opposing x's and o's do in the game
So yeah, the immersion is just as big as anything else for me. Yes the gameplay is the core and keep me playing the game, but the whole gimmick of building your own Civilization on realistic Earth-like maps with different leaders is very, very important
