I'd like to hear more about how and when you can get a Scientific Leader. Cheers

You have a chance of getting one if you are the first person to research a tech.
I imagine they follow the "1 leader at a time" rule too, and that (probably) includes military GL's.

Scientific leaders can either give 25 per cent faster tech-reasearch for 20 turns or rush improvements and wonders. They can not create armies, though.

Seeing as they don't exist, I guess it's pretty hard to get them.

Now that is too funny! As I posted the question it did cross my mind that maybe they didn't exist, but I was hoping to hear the opposite. Oh well, I'll get over it

Who knows? I am sure it is still possible, but you would need to ask someone from the states who has Conquests already.
I would imagine all Scientific leaders appear in the capital, but can not confirm for obvious reasons...

Ah, ye of little faith! Of course they don't exist for you atheists, but for the true believer...

Be careful of your information source. The only place I read about sci leaders was on a leaked beta info page. I left my C3C manual in the car so I can't confirm whether this is in the released game or not.

They are in the released game.

Okay, I brought the manual in after lunch. Here's what it says about Scientific Great Leaders:
Whenever you're the first to research a tech, the opportunity for getting a SGL increases. They can boost science in a city (just one?) for 20 turns or they can hurry city production. (Not sure if that includes wonders.)
It also doesn't seem to say if traditional Great Leaders roles have changed.

I heard that normal great leader have only changed in the following way: they cannot rush great wonders anymore.
I'm playing my first game and wanted to rush Artemis's Temple with a leader. Now I know why I couldn't.

I have played lots of games, though admittedly not many to completion. But I generally at least continue to the middle ages.
Anyway, my point is, in the at least forty or so games I have played, I have gotten great leaders only three times.
Is there a way to increase my chances of getting one? (Other than fighting more battles, of course...)

The only way to get a Military Great Leader is for an Elite unit to win a battle. And even then, it's a "die roll".
Chances are higher for a Militaristic civ.
The only way to get a Scientific Great Leader is to research a tech that nobody else has. Again, it's a "die roll".
