Ibn Battuta is a great choice. Finally an Arab leader for the Abbasids. He even travelled to India, so Chola and the Mughals would fit as well. Only mildly sorry to hear the pronouncation of his travelogue al-Rihla butchered.
He is better at exploring... whether that will make it more fun is an open question. Better exploration tools (especially map sharing) means the exploration phase is over sooner.
Oh, this looks awesome. For one thing, I like the character model a lot - looks clean and crisp and expressive in a fun way. But this design is incredible. His flatlands star bias is the only thing holding him back (for me, at least, since I always want a high-production start) but I'll still be trying him, probably early and often. Wildcard attributes are great, map-trading is great. Extra sight is great... I'm psyched for this.

Better exploration also means being able to take advantage of it faster. I think it fill be more on the fun side. taking the best spots before enyone else. and with two exploration phases (early and exploration age) it might be relevant longer.
I don't know. I grew up with Eurocentric history books, and ibn Battuta was well-known to me even then
Not that I'm trying to pose as as some sort of historical buff myself, of course. I don't know much about the Roman Empire or the Classical and Ancient Greeks as most people here, and the more time I spend here the more I appreciate how much there is to learn
If I understand it correctly, Attributes of a Leader represent what APs they get off Narrative Events. For example, Scientific Leader could get often Narrative Events which speak of inventions of their people and they can get Scientific Points off that.
What about Wildcard? Is it that his options are diverse - that he may get once Narrative Event about scientists he encounters and their discovery, leading to Scientific Point, another time Narrative Event from a crowd of people in a metropolis he visited, leading to Expansionist Point, and another time Narrative Event about some festivities he would attend for Cultural Point? Or is it that his Narrative Events give him Wildcard Points?
Ideally, Aksum should transition into some form of Ethiopia. However, an Aksum>Abbasid change isn't that crazy at all, considering that Aksum controlled lands in Yemen, which would later be part of the Abbasid Caliphate.
