I had an idea the other day that I was floating. I wondered what if instead of the Civ switch mechanic they had actually come up with a Leader switch mechanic?
So, similar to how Great People used to be born into any Civilisation despite their real historic background, this would be the same thing but with the Leader you play as, at the end of each era.
That way, you don't change your city names or your empire or anything like that, but you change from an Antiquity Leader (with Antiquity related bonuses) to a Exploration Leader (with Exploration related bonuses).
These bonuses would then be tied to what that leader got up to in their lifetime.
So then, you can lead Romans with your Roman leader, switch him out for an Exploration leader and by the end you can have your Modern Romans lead by uhh... Churchill?
I was thinking this way, it's not quite the same level of alienating as the proposal they went with. Although perhaps seeing a different leader in the diplomacy screen is probably quite weird on second thoughts
Does it make much difference if it's done this way? Why or why not? What's your opinion?
