GameRant: Abandoned Civilization 4 Leaders Who Should Return in Civ 7

[Fool's Gold]

Link to article here.

Okay, use of Civ 5 leader screens (except for Chuck, who wasn't in it) and the question of Civ 7 even using Civ 4's "common Traits" mechanic aside...

Civ 4's version of Catherine saw her adopt the Creative and Imperialistic Traits, with the former doubling the production speed of theatres and coliseums and the latter doubling the production speed of settlers.

With his unique unit the Landsknecht, a pikeman that can deal double damage to both mounted and melee foes, Charlemagne becomes an almost unstoppable military force in the Medieval era

With his unique Musketeer unit, Napoleon can defend his land fairly easily

...maybe I've read too many threads on these forums, but something looks a little off.

Minor errors, but nothing too major. IMP is +50% bonus to settler production, the rest is at least technically accurate. Even if you're exceedingly unlikely to ever see it ingame.

The article also described Boudicca as Scottish. Scots are not Celts; they migrated from Ireland and in fact before they did so, "Scot" was simply a synonym for "Irish".

(That picture of Boudica ... is it from Civ V or Resident Evil V?)

The Musketeer description seems to fit more the Civ6 garde impériale which gets a bonus on its home continent, and is a Napoleon-era unit even if that leader is not in Civ6.

I think you could forgive the Scots vs Celts piece, different people who inhabited the same land at different times. But Boudicca was definitely from modern day England…!

Landsknechts don’t do double damage to melee and mounted. They have a bonus to strength—which operates in a non-intuitive way in Civ IV. And doesn’t cause Charlie to dominate the Middle Ages.
