Ultimate Wishlist for potential Civ6 leaders

Hi again. I'm back with more suggestions.

Seretse Khama of Botswana is a really strong choice for a modern African leader and Arturo Umberto Illia is a pretty good modern leader choice for Argentina.
 
I would change Norway to Scandinavia and make it 2 leaders Civ - one for old Vikings (same leader Harald or Ragnar Lodbrok for symbolic leader or Knut for more realistic one) flavor type game
- one for modern(-ish) welfare state type of game. Could use for example Margaret I.

Khama III would also be a good choice for Botswana.

Harald is a real leader unlike Ragnar of course.

Henry V had a mighty fleet and a wondrous martial spirit (not just at Agincourt). He would be an excellent leader choice for England in future Civ installments.
 
Also, Nur Jahan for India (female ruler). She held court when the emperor was unwell, was considered the real power behind the Mughal throne at "the height of its glory" for around 15 years, struck coinage in her name, was a patron of architecture, and a fierce and skilled marksman known for killing tigers.

Consider this:

Nur Jahan’s courage, bravery and administrative skills would prove invaluable during her regency as she as defended the Empire’s borders in her husband's absence and navigated family feuds, rebel uprisings, and a war of succession brought on by the failure of Jahangir to name an heir before he died on 28 October 1627...

In 1626, the Emperor Jahangir was captured by rebels while on his way to Kashmir. The rebel leader Mahabat Khan had hoped to stage a coup against Jahangir. Nur Jahan intervened to get her husband released. She ordered the ministers to organize an attack on the enemy in order to rescue the Emperor; she herself would lead one of the units by administering commands from on top of a war elephant. During the battle Nur Jahan’s mount was hit and the soldiers of the imperial army fell at her feet. Realizing her plan had failed Nur Jahan surrendered to Mahabat Khan and was placed in captivity with her husband.

Unfortunately for the rebels, Mahabat Khan failed to recognise the creativity and intellect of Nur Jahan as she soon was able to organize an escape and raise an army right under his very nose.

After sharing what I learned about the Tarascan king Zuangua in the More Alternate Leaders thread, I looked up some info on the Zapotec kings. This source (starting on page 532) has some decent info on kings Zaachila I, Zaachila III, and Cociyoeza (which is also spelt as Cosijoeza). This source also has more info on Zaachila I and Cociyoeza. That search was a little harder than I thought considering that Zaachila is the name of a kingdom, city, and 3 kings!

I also stumbled upon some other Tlingit leaders like Chief Xet-su-wu (starting on page 44) and Chief Kohklux who was the grandfather of Louis Shotridge(these sources show more of his character).

Since Hungary has been revealed as an official Civ 6 civ, I've moved them up to the first list. Congratulations, Hungary!
 
I've noticed that Tutankhamun isn't on the list for Egypt and the more I think about it he could have an interesting playstyle.
Since England isn't going to have British Museums anymore I think it would be interesting if he could have bonuses similar to that.
Tomb of Tutankhamun:
Artifacts from Egypt are automatically themed in an archaeological museum.
You gain more tourism from another civilization if they acquire an artifact from Egypt.

That has nothing to do with his actual reign though.
I'm not adding Tut because he was a mediocre ruler.

Well it was worth a shot. Jadwiga got extra bonuses from relics, which I assume were based off of her. Oh well.

Well, Tut would be the first inbred Civ Leader if he was added. :p
 
Ok, the Maori have been moved to the alternate leaders list. Congratulations Maori!

The Polynesia blob has been killed and their leaders moved to the Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, and Tonga leader lists under the New Civs.
