Hey guys im just curious. If Civ 6 gonna include some modern day leaders, who would u choose? Name 3 please, and what shall be their UA? Let's make the starting point from 1945(post WWII)
You know we're not going to get Hitler and you also know that Gandhi is going to be there as the Indian leader.
Sadly I don't think that we had many relevant modern leaders after the second world war or shortly after, there isn't really anyone that I would want to see past that time, but before?
Churchill, De Gaulle, Stalin, Mao are all the important ones that already appeared at least once in the franchise.
They could make Lenin for once, I don't think he was ever chosen, and Gorbachev could also be an interesting choice.
Perhaps it's a sign of the times but recent leaders looks more like living jokes than people to look up for. The most downloaded recent years leader mod on Steam is Kim Jong Un.
If by 'modern times' you mean post WW2 I would go with Deng Xiaoping, Putin / Krushchev / Brezhnev and Park Chung-hee.
1945 is kinda a very random cut-off point as many overlap there (Stalin or De Gaulle for example), but I guess you exclude all persons that have already been a leader in a civ game. (That list: Churchill, Kennedy (civrev2), De Gaulle, Stalin, Mao, Haile Selassie, Gandhi, probably someone I forget). That is already quite an impressive and long list, so do we really need more?
Nevertheless, I don't think they'll go for very recent Presidents/Prime Minister like Thatcher, Reagan/Obama or Merkel, just too much baggage, but I can very well see...
Golda Meir for Israel (women, and probably the least discutable modern choice for Israel)
Ho Chi Ming for Vietnam (similar in problems to Mao, but hey...)
Nelson Mandela for South Africa (too recent?)
But I'd prefer anyways if the next civ did away with single immortal leaders. That never made sense for me personally.
Hmmm that suggestion makes sense to me. Great civilizations may have more than one leader and they rule that Civ in different ages.Let's say, Yin Zheng(Qin Shi Huang) rules China from ancient to Renaissance, Chairman Mao rules China after that. Civ's UA changes when its leader changes. American can change from Washington to Roosevelt, India can change from Ashoka to Gandhi
