Yes, but it is not the same as the latest expansion pack. They are really only vassals. To get them you have to take/settle two+ cities on another land mass that is completely separate from yours. Go the the house icon at the top right of the screen and click the bottom right button. A dialog box will pop up and ask if you want to free those cities and make them a colony. It is nice if you (like me) do not like to micro manage a bunch of cities. Doing so will either generate a minor leader or use one of the existing major ones. The minor leader is
usually a leader from your civ type. To get an idea of who the minor leaders are, there is a mod mod with them (and a few more) that you can download and look at. I like the mod mod, but there are too many leaders to choose from and the summoning function of hyborem is messed up. (it may be fixed now?)
