Given that the Leaders are age agnostic, I can’t imagine leader abilities will be too specific to an age. But I could see something generic like “Extra Great Work/Relic slot in Culture buildings”
Ah, my mistake. I mistook her ability name for a persona title.
It's possible, especially with leaders being divorced from their civs.
This is my suspicion as well, though I still wouldn't be shocked to see Benito Juarez as a dark horse with Monty saved for DLC alongside the Aztecs (and K'inich Janaab' Pakal, please and thank you, without killing off the entire quetzal population to clothe him
).An interesting leader could be Malinche. Could be there for Mexico
I'd honestly be astonished. While the judgment is unfair, given her position, it's my understanding she's generally despised as a traitor to her people. Both the Maya and the Nahua (and, for that matter, Mexico itself) have better, less controversial candidates for female leaders.
That's an interesting theory, in particular the Ming part because, as there is unlikely to have another leader for the Chinese path as we got Confucius already, then chances are Ming is a civ announced with another civ in the same week, where the other civ is the one that has a associated leader.
It would be funny if Genghis was announced the same week as Ming.
With leader not being connected to civs, wouldn't the obvious South American leader be Simon Bolivar?It's possible, especially with leaders being divorced from their civs.

He was talking about México and Mesoamerica, not South America. Bolívar could be a good leader option to represent post-colonial Hispanic Northern South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia and Panama), but a leader for Brazil and the Southern Cone of South America would be great as well, since Bolívar isn't representative of all of South America either. Also, I think there has to be some Native South America leader as well, probably from the Inca.
We could have several leaders. Also Che Guevara could be an interesting option
Che Guevara would be a very recent and controversial option for many people. There are lots of people in Latin America, specially in Cuba, who are still suffering the consequences of what he did and who still remember/suffer the consequences of the violence he instigated by supporting genocidal guerrillas and ilegal armed groups who have killed thousands of people. His actions have worsened the lives of many people he supposedly wanted to help, not the contrary. In the grand scope of things, he's just another selfish Latin American warlord who used a political ideology to justify his rise to power.
As others have mentioned, super controversial choice, I'd be up for it, she is very much unjustly maligned.
That's why I didn't brought up any founding fathers for Mexico, the independentist "niche" is very well covered by Bolivar.
There are plenty of indigenous leaders who could fit into this niche. I think a good non-indigenous option would be Toussaint Louverture. He was the leader of the Haitian Revolution, considered the most successful slave revolution.
I would adore having Haiti in the game.
