hello, long time lurker first time poster. just wanted to share some thoughts i had on leaders. i think its great they have added leaders that weren't sovereigns de jure. its cool they have added figures like confucius tubman etc. what leaders would you like to see?
i would like to see, since being sovereign not necessarily a necessary condition:
1) an East India Company rep (economic, diplomatic) (doesn't have to be Clive, could be Hastings or another governor general). i think it would be interesting because corporations had an important role in trade and could lead for example UK once they are added or even Mughal, would add flavor. i know it would be somewhat controversial but its an important part of the history and would be fun to roleplay as a trading company trying to compete with sovereign powers.
2. Sun Tzu (military,diplomatic) Sun tzu as a military/diplomatic leader would be a great addition for China to take a more war like path. if we are going to have machiavelli, we must have Sun Tzu as well. he is a good counterbalance to confucius as well.
3. Krasus. (economic,military): you could do pompey instead here. they were both extremely influential at that pivotal period and would be more economic focused. it might be good to have their ability focus on hiring mercenaries on the cheap.
i think there has been an opening to add more non sovereign entities like EIC, VOC... what are some other examples you think would be compelling?
another suggestion is that i hope they will include Unique units with leaders in the future similar to how some had UU's in civ 6
