Civciv5
Grand Emperor
But which civilization would she represent? You can't really call Palmyra a civilization cause it only lasted a few years.
This! I think having a few jointly ruling married couples would be awesome:
Isabella and Ferdinand!
Justinian and Theodora!
FDR and Eleanor!
Suleiman and Roxelana!
Akhenaten and Nefertiri!
Augustus and Livia?
Other family/government arrangements:
Maria Theresa with her sons, Joseph II and Leopold II, skulking in the background!
Prince horsehockyoku with Empress Suiko enthroned behind him!
Victoria seated with a Palmerston, Gladstone, or Disraeli speaking for her!

Remember the game is called "civilization" not "nations" or "countries".
So call it Syria or Aram. I think Zenobia would be a fantastic addition to the game.
The ancient Kingdom of Macedonia (not related to FYROM) are considered a Greek people.not a Greek, he was from Macedon

Therefore, Alexander was Greek.
Also Palmyra is just one city. Ancient Syria was ruled at various times by the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Arameans, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Nabataeans, the Romans and the Byzantines. I don't think they were really independent as a nation under any other time than Zenobia's rule as Queen of the Palmyrene Empire.
In every Civ game I've played (3+) you've been able to name your own leader and Civ, and you never see your own leader anyway.I'd like to be able to choose my leader's name and gender and select their image from a supplied file or insert an image of my choosing.
We only had three in vanilla last time, which they seemed to go out of their way to rectify with G&K and BNW.
Three are plenty, actually. Civ is about human history, and it's a historical fact that the overwhelming majority of leaders of the overwhelming majority of (major) civilizations have been men. In a game like Civ BE, I'd expect to have roughly equal numbers of male and female leaders. In traditional Civ, having a significant number of female leaders feels like a distortion of history.
Definitely, a lot of Civ players *feel* like that is also a major distortion in Civ games, but I think a lot of players would feel okay with a distribution that has a distribution somewhere other than the historical one.
And I doubt the sort of radical feminists who would get too upset over the presence of buxom women in skimpy clothing would be the type to indulge in such patriarchal pursuits as the Civilization titles in the first place.
