So...say, each civ will have It's own list of names for Great Scientist, Engineers and such? or will they all have unique effects?

No, some civs have a list of Great people that they get. Other civs don't have any great people unless they unlock specific ones it seems.
 
Just for those wondering, queenpea is a time traveller, and her avatar is in fact her profile protrait on VisageTome.

They are really trying to go the Enlightenment route with Prussia/Germany this time making them the new France. :crazyeye:
This means that Prussia might pair well with Catherine too.
They definitely don't look like French revolutionaries. Prussia is a good guess.
They look like the ones the French revolutionaries would take down.
 
That doesn't sound like anything new. That's basically what Greece "Logios" units are.
 
Oo! I hope Leibniz is one of these Prussian greats!

Okay, fine. He was from Saxony, but still. Let's stick it to Isaac Newton and his inferior way of doing calculus!
 
The great wig on the man would be somewhat old fashioned for Frederick the Great's era (mid-18th century ) but perfectly in tune with trhe Great Elector of Brandenburg (1680s - 90s). On the other hand, the tight neck collar is 18th century while the 1690s he would (to be fashionable) wear a 'cravatte' or loosely-tied long scarf around his neck.

Which makes me think these images are composites to evoke the Enlightenment Era, which is generally considered to start in the late 1630s and go to the French Revolution, or 1790s. That would open up the list of potential candidates for Great (Enlightenment) People considerably.

RE Leibnitz. In addition to (co)inventing Calculus, he also dabbled in linguistics, binary numbers, probability theory, and invented a mechanical calculator that could do multiplication in addition to addition and subtraction. The design was good enough that versions of it were being sold as 'business machines' in the mid-19th century!
