Well, i think the main thing we need to focus on first is the traits and what they do for both leaders. I want them to be different. (speaking of which whay are all the leaders of each civ identical???? there is no diversity within civs in that respect.)
Possible traits for Finubar
'Seafaring'--- Finubar is reknown as 'The Seafarer', as he traversed the globe, from nippon, to Lustria, the estalia, and albion. he has mapped most of the globe well beyond the borders of the old world, and has colonised many distant lands. as such, this trait is suitable. it should give ships a movement bonus and make costal cities get benefits from water squares.
'Trader'--- Finubar traded indescriminatly with all races that he met, while in his sea travels. he should get 1 free trade route for every city built, and every time a rival initiates a friendly trade agreemen, there should be some money offered regardless.
'Tolerant'--- Finubar is the most adaptable phoenix king of Ulthuan, which is especially needed in these changing times. he is the most tolereant of the mortal races ignorance and enjoys their compay. he should get a positive relations bonus with all human and 'good' mortal races. he should aslo get some form of benefit from the later eras. not sure though.
Possible traits for Aenarion:
'Martyre'---Aenarion attempted to sacrifice himself to the High Elf Patron deity Asuryan, if he would save the Elven race from the Chaos hords. he threw himself in the raging inforno in the Shrine of Asuryan, and instead of being burnt alive, he emerged as a mortal God. His new form was awe inspiring, and his physical prowess encouraged his followeres to fight doubly feroceously against the evil forces sackign the High Elves gloryous lands. thus This trait shoud give all units a promotion which gives them a bonus of some sort against the evil civilisations.
'Arcane'--- Aenarion married the stunningy beautiful Everqueen Astarielle, who is one of the most magically powerful beings in Elven History, second only to Teclis and Allarielle. As such, as he has command of the external relations, and miliatary forces, his bride controls the internal occurrences of the state by Aenarion's side. As such, she has considerable influence over his decisions. Also, Aenarion is the Phoenix king who ordered the creation of the Vortex, which stabalised the worlds Magic.
This trait is thus suitable for Aenarion, even though he, himself was not naturally magical. this should give magic uses some benefit or other, and perhaps also give free mage city specialists in some cities.
'Defender'--- Aenarion is reknown as 'the Defender', because he defended Ulthuan from the Chaos invasion and many many Dark Elf raids. not sure what this could do.
These are just ideas by the way
we could call one a 'Hall of the Arts'.
