His Pixelyness
Because I can't find a list of all the Great People in the game, I'm going to find them all by myself. EDIT: with the help from many people in the upcoming posts, I didn't actually find most of the GP by myself, but thanks to the help of the community!
The list shows the names of Great People alphabetically and the way they appear in game. When you click the name, you'll be taken to an English page about this person where you can find out what they're famous for. The name on that page might be different, i.e. not nickname or real name in non English, but Civ V also contains spelling errors, unfortunately.
Please correct any mistakes I make and tell me if you see a missing Great Person.
The list is not yet complete. It takes quite some time to list all the people with links to info, so I'll be doing this some other day (soon!).
I hope you'll enjoy reading about your favorite Great Person!
Great Admirals
Great Artists
* is this the same person, twice in the list, or is it possible to get two different Rumis?
Great Engineers
Great Generals
Khans
Great Merchants
Great Prophets
AFAIK: Great Prophets have no names in Civ V!
Great Scientists
