I've always really wanted to see a version of Bingles' Civ IV Leader Traits mod for Civ IV. I created of rough outline of what a slightly retooled and updated version would look like, but I have absolutely no modding knowledge or talent. If anyone would like to make a version of this mod using these ideas, I would be pleased to commission it.
The changes are meant to be relatively faithful to the original mod, but I did tweak most of them to cover new buildings, new mechanics, and encourage tall play, which I think is pretty weak in vanilla Civ VI. For example, cities no longer get yield bonuses per city, but per district, and more traits have yields that scale off of population, to favor dense cities.
If you have any thoughts or critiques, I'd love to hear them.

New Traits
- To help give each leader a unique combination of traits and to utilize more mechanics in the game, I’ve added two new traits, and one returning from Civ IV; Glorious, Naval, and Organized
- Glorious focuses on Wonder production and Golden Ages
- Naval takes the militaristic aspects of Seafaring to give both traits a unique identity
- Organized interacts with Spies, a mechanic previously untouched by traits, and the new Governor mechanic
