I thought most people knew who ibn Battuta is... at least if you know Marco Polo you would know ibn-Battuta too
Same, he seemed pretty famousI thought most people knew who ibn Battuta is... at least if you know Marco Polo you would know ibn-Battuta too
He is! All Leaders can be paired with any Civ.Edit: though if you wanted to make him truly a wildcard leader, he should be pairable with any Civ. his starting Civ should be random each game.
It made me wonder why Marco Polo or Christopher Columbus weren't picked as the Italian leader instead of Machiavelli, since they were famous explorers. Now I can see why they weren't chosen. Ibn Battuta travelled more than any other pre-modern explorer.Wow, really loving this leader!! Awesome to have a civilization led by an explorer. Really thematically fits the exploration age too!
Maybe he meant he unlocks ALL EA and MA Civs, which would be truly wildcard but slso maybe bit brokenHe is! All Leaders can be paired with any Civ.
Honestly, I would have preferred the same abilities on Marco Polo, or even better yet, John MandevilleIt made me wonder why Marco Polo or Christopher Columbus weren't picked as the Italian leader instead of Machiavelli, since they were famous explorers. Now I can see why they weren't chosen. Ibn Battuta travelled more than any other pre-modern explorer.
After the Songhai reveal, some people were speculating about a Modern Era Morocco, but apparently that's not possible from what other people were saying.Now, if only he had some modern Islamic civ to lead![]()
I'm grateful they chose this direction. Personally, I find Machiavelli a far more interesting as leader than Christopher Columbus or Marco Polo could have been. Ibn Battuta traveled across more lands than both Zheng He and Marco Polo.It made me wonder why Marco Polo or Christopher Columbus weren't picked as the Italian leader instead of Machiavelli, since they were famous explorers.

Well Columbus is a Spanish Great Person (Conqustador)It made me wonder why Marco Polo or Christopher Columbus weren't picked as the Italian leader instead of Machiavelli, since they were famous explorers.

Never heard of him. I've heard of Ahmad ibn Fadlan, but only because of The Thirteenth Warrior.I thought most people knew who ibn Battuta is... at least if you know Marco Polo you would know ibn-Battuta too
