Well, I was talking about England, but China was certainly in mind when I wrote it too, as it will be the most egregious case of the same problem. Yeah, I know, it covers a lot of different land, cultures, etc, but I think that should be represented by having different Civs rather than five leaders. They just start to bleed into each otherwise.Agreed. When only one aspect of the Civ is being changed (and typically not in any innovative or major way), the differences between leaders feel quite minor.
My worry with China (assuming that's who you're talking about) is that we'll be left with five leaders (including both of Qin's personas) that will each interact with the rest of the Civ to a varying degree. The pursuit of synergy with other civ attributes can often leave the differences between playstyle in alternate leaders slim. However, at least one of China's leaders needs to be dramatically different just so there's some reason to play the same Civ for a third, fourth, or fifth time.
Also, this is my 500th post!
I... may or may not have seen I was four posts away and just decided to binge Civ Fanatics for a half hour to write them. My lawyer suggested that I don't definitively answer that.
Anyway, back to my homework...
Happy quincentennial post!
