Leaders

[Imperatoris]

Wouldn't it be interesting to have a new leader for each era? So for each era (classical, medieval, renaissance, industrial, modern) there is a new leader for each faction. So for England you could have the following:

Ancient - none (tribal)
Classical - Arthur
Medieval - Richard I
Renaissance - Henry VIII (lots of alternatives)
Industrial - Victoria
Modern - Elizabeth II

I think this could add an interesting element to the gameplay, giving an additional strategic layer and make choosing a faction much more important, and also provide a history lesson.

This has been asked before. It would really make the game load slow and raise up the minimum specs. Think: It takes them a while to make ONE talking leaderhead. Imagine 50!

Another problem you run into is if the Civ doesn't have a leader for that era. In your example, who would lead England in the ancient era, when they didn't exist as we would consider them.

Then how about the Babylonians, they don't cover most of those era's.

I miss having civs with multiple leaders to choose from.

It's not just about historical right? In Civilization, you can make up history. So that means random leader for each era.
