The Great People Thread

[Eagle Pursuit]

I feel like Patton should take MacArthur's ability.

And throwing the leader of the Mujahadeen in there is amusing.

Thanks. Worked on the rest of them while you were doing the same. Totally missed Chopin though. Charles Correa is +2 appeal. The language is the same as the other appeal Engineer. Abdus Salaam I thought triggered the Eureka for everything but idk either.

Also noted the number of charges various Engineers have.

Im just going to say that, I am very excited that they included (Jendral) Sudirman, a hero from my country, here as a Great Person.

It is an impressive list after all, but it is kind weird to see van Gogh as an atomic era artist...

Yeah, and Dvořák as an Atomic Musician. It seems tying GP to eras has kept the anachronisms alive and well

I was looking forward to seeing the likes of Warhol and Presley in the later eras (possibly a copyright issue?).

Huh, if coyright were the case, and keeping thr anachronism was the main objective, maybe they can settle with everyone-second-pick of Great Persons? Those whose name are known well, but not that much to have their own foundation and company to guard their rights.

Im not that hip to name a few instantly, but I think you guys know what im talking about

According to that site, the following Great People (all engineers) have two uses:

Isidore of Miletus
James of St. George
Filippo Brunelleschi
Mimar Sinan
Gustave Eiffel
John Roebling

I would guess the effect of Charles Correa is:

Charles Correa: All hexes this city owns get +2 appeal

Also, there seem to be some discrepancies with what we already know. For instance, Stephanie Kwolek on that Chinese site seems to be

Stephanie Kwolek: Immediately complete the construction of a space race project.

Dunno if that means the effects are still changing, or what.

EDIT: Oh, it looks like the OP has updated the first post with all the information from the Chinese leak now.

With respect to portraits/landscapes/sculptures/religious art: these are relevant for theming bonuses.
