Or if you have leaders with no readily-identifiable distinguishing characteristics, which was the Humankind Problem.
100%. One of HK's biggest weaknesses is the use of these generic "nameless" leaders. I guess the idea was that the leaders would be avatars for the human player but I don't think that worked at all. This is where civ has it right by using actual historical leaders. it gives players something that they can relate and connect to since we all have some understanding of who these leaders were. And it can add a fun role-playing aspect as well. It is more fun to play as Abe Lincoln leading American civ than to play as "generic white guy" leading American civ.
