Rival civilizations chosen based on statistics (option)

[DeckerdJames]

Keeps track of your rivals each game and you can have the game favor choosing rivals that have appeared fewer times in your games, so that you don't feel like you are getting the same rivals so often. I feel this way in my Civ 6 games sometimes. I have yet to try 7.

This could tie into the narrative events as well. Having an event meeting your rival from another game or your civs historical rival would be cool. For example if you lost to Catherine in your previous game and meet her again you get a special event or if your playing as Britain you have an event involving France, Spain encountering Inca, Ming and the Mongols, etc. We have one for Carthage and Rome already so it’ be cool if they expanded on this.
