IDEA: Civilization Leader Traits

[Gurra09]

I'm going to modify the leader traits.

Every leader will have three traits.The two original (e.g. Financial, Organized) and one that depend on which civilization they belong to.

For example Darius I will have the traits Financial, Organized, Persian and Alexander the traits Philosophical, Aggressive, Greek.

34 new traits will be created. Everyone with its own special benefits.

The traits are:
American (Ame)
Aztec (Azt)
Arabian (Ara)
Babylonian (Bab)
Byzantine (Byz)
Carthaginian (Car)
Celtic (Cel)
Chinese (Chi)
Dutch (Dut)
Egyptian (Egy)
English (Eng)
Ethiopian (Eth)
French (Fre)
German (Ger)
Greek (Gre)
Holy Roman (Hro)
Incan (Inc)
Indian (Ind)
Japanese (Jap)
Khmer (Khm)
Korean (Kor)
Malinese (Mal)
Maya (May)
Mongolian (Mon)
Native American (Nam)
Ottoman (Ott)
Persian (Per)
Portuguese (Por)
Roman (Rom)
Russian (Rus)
Spanish (Spa)
Sumerian (Sum)
Viking (Vik)
Zulu (Zul)

What I need is suggestions about what benefits the traits should have before I can create them.

so.. why not just give each civ an individual bonus?

I think that defeats the purpose of having traits to begin with. I mean, Elizabeth, Churchill and Victoria all have a different strategy when playing, mostly because of their traits. Take those away and you have 3 leaders with the same bonus?. Why not just have one leader then like in Civ3

Edited my original post. What about three traits, one civ trait and two original traits (Financial, Creative, Organized, Imperialistic etc.)?

Still, why not just give a bonus to each civilization?

Because it's easier to make a new trait that's unique to each civ. See the Final Frontier scenario, which does just this (maybe ideas there?)

will it be like rhye's and fall's UP

 

[Gurra09]

No, it'll be more like normal traits like the civ traits in Final Frontier but with the original 2 also.
