It would be cool to have a Grand Historical Victory, in which long term civs like Ethiopia have multiple sets of UHVs across different eras. You win if you get 5 out of 9 or complete any three together in an era

Sounds similar to:
I've been playing an England campaign, picked Victoria as my leader and noticed that we'd be through with our UHV by 1750ish, which is long before her majesty ever sat the throne. So I thought "why not have all kinds of leaders have their own UHVs?"

Right now, the choice of a leader is purely decorative. It could offer some variance in playing the same civs.

Take Russian UHV for example. It's mostly what the Soviet Union was about. You can give this UHV to Stalin (who is axed).
- Peter would maybe instead have to move capital to St. Petersburg, build the Hermitage and settle 5 great people there by 1750, have five ships of line in the baltic, the black sea, the pacific, the white sea and the caspian each by 1725 and be the first to reach industrial age.
- Ivan the Terrible would want to raze a polish, a swedish, a mongol and a turkish city, make orthodoxy the largest christian faith and make Moscow the most cultured city in Europe by 1600.
- Catherine would want to control (or have vassals control) Constantinople, Poland and the Balkans, colonize Alaska and allow no republics or democracies in Europe by 1815.

Or Greek UHV-
Pericles could be colonizing the Mediterranean instead of conquering Persia.

Byzantines:
Justinian would be more about restoring old Roman Empire.

French:
A de Gaulle campaign could go for the 19th century French colonial Empire, like conquering North Africa, Madagascar, Indochina; and have a nuclear power plant and an atomic bomber in every city by 1960.
