i bet i can beat you both on a duel setting pangea with EVERY civ.
of course if you wanna exploit horsemen rush alex is slightly better, but why the hell do you always wanna win deity games vs AI? thats kinda boring isnt it? i rather play a quite balanced game vs real opponents not vs a machine.
Again, this isn't the point of ranking the leaders. Anyone can win a game with any civ at the difficulty level they normally play at. Obviously the list is flawed, as there was an uproar about Gandhi being with Harun and Elizabeth, but if you want to take it as gospel and only play the top tier in multiplayer, go ahead.
Back to the discussion on Gandhi: I've never thought about going unhappiness positive, but I guess that opposed to a normal city, he does after 4 (?) pop. An interesting way of looking at it, and far more powerful than I gave it credit for. With Meritocracy and the FP, he goes happiness positive after 2 pop, no?
@charm3: GS's are the best great people currently. The only ones that even compare are GE's, and they are far harder to get. Getting two techs for one when you discover writing is very nice, and bonus GS throughout the game is a huge boost to tech. I haven't played them, but having a tech advantage at high levels is an awesome boost to power.
@basta: The one game I've played as the Chinese had a great general spawn after four barb camps. They're made for warring, and they do it extremely well. Not only that, but if you only need one GG, just pop the others for GAs. Paper Makers, unlike say... Mughal Forts are on base buildings that everyone is going to build anyway, and +4 commerce (+3, since it covers itself) is a pretty nice early game boost for every city ever. Since this list kind of ignores start bias, with an average start the Chinese have a far better boost to a domination victory than say, Harun Al-Rashid.
