I have nothing against female leaders but Tamar really wasn't my first choice.
The main issue I have with Georgia is that it should have been DLC. Expansion's civ slots are meant to feature series' staples, recurring civs with such a large and lasting regional historical impact that their "worthiness" cannot be denied. On the other hand, DLCs are perfect for new, innovative and varied options, such as Australia.
As such, Ottomans should have been in R&F and Georgia should have been a DLC (that's my opinion, others are entitled to disagree but I wanted to voice it and this seemed the right thread to do so).
What? No. DLCs have to be civs that will sell rather well. Georgia by itself would have a limited market appeal (as shown by this thread). Ottomans would be a great choice for DLC because it would sell very well. The best choices for vanilla and expansions are a mixture of series regulars to anchor it, and a collection of "guest star" civs.
