Hopefully we have Kangxi emperor in civ 7.
As a second leader, perhaps. I'd be very surprised to see China led by an emperor from a conquest dynasty in the base game. Then again, we've had Cleopatra more than once, and France and Greece get habitually led by Napoleon and Alexander respectively so who knows. Still, I'd expect to see emperors from Yuan or Qing (or less likely Jin, Liao, etc.) to come later. Taizong of Tang gets my vote for Civ7 China. If we get the Kangxi Emperor or another Qing, while they'll probably be speaking Mandarin, I think it'd be fun if they spoke Manchu.
Wu Zetian:
Court Intrigue-Likes civilizations who pose no threat. Dislikes civilizations with strong military or ones with nearby cities.
Because the Paranoid agenda is always fun. Then again, Abraham Lincoln got my personal most hated Hidden Agenda in the game as his Historical Agenda so...
Anyway, I started a game as Yongle. I'm still early game so his abilities aren't
super helpful, but I did actually run his food project a little in the early game to help build up my capital. I'm very much looking forward to my large cities exploding all my yields--and lucky me, I have plenty of room to expand.
I'm playing on Continents, and only Qin (Unifier) is on my continent. I do like his model; it annoys me, though, that his agenda approval/disapproval messages are the same as Mandate of Heaven Qin (I know this isn't news and all the personae do this--it's just annoying).
