Okay. My first gripe concerns the Romans. Julius Ceasar was never actually an emperor. He was stabbed to death before he could be that. So, to rectify this, could someone please make an Augustus Ceasar (Octavian) leaderhead?
Next, about the Indians. Gandhi does not seem like a very good leader for them. So, likewise, could someone make an Ashoka leaderhead? Or a Chandragupta Maurya one?
Next, we go off on a tangent. I am considering making a new civilization, the Aryans, as in the prehistoric people who ranged far and wide across Eurasia. They are to be militaristic, obviously, and religious. Their UU will be a chariot of some kind. My question is this: does anyone have any idea as to what the leader for an Aryan civ would be? Thanks in advance.

Well, they do take a few historical liberties with the leaders - the idea is simply to use the most prominent or well known leader of that civilisation, and obviously Julius Caesar is the most obvious leader of the Romans even if he was never technically emperor. He was, after all, offered the crown. Similarly, Theodora was never empress of the Byzantines, despite having a lot of influence as Justinian's wife. The first woman to rule the Roman/Byzantine empire in her own right as full empress was Irene, in the late eighth century. But probably more people (outside the Orthodox Church) have heard of Theodora. It doesn't really matter.

Too bad Charlemagne never got to marry Irene. Also, Byzantine history contains a freakish amount of eye-gouging.

Nevermind my helpful prejudice, I'm sure you won't. As for the Aryans, well brilliant minds work alike, I already have modded two new CIVS, one named the Aryans and other named the West Aryans as those prehistoricd people who wander across Eurasia to become among others the various German Tribes. I didn't see to give them a religious trait however, rather all 'down to earth' ones, since I figured that was one their motivations for to wander from the safety of a religiously set homeland. Just my take no doubt.
