	What happens after a Great Leader be captured? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Now we know that GL is a unit 0/0/3. And we know that unit can be captured. And it's possible that GL can be captured. But what will happen after it's captured? It's lost or it can work for the capturing civ?
It will be a interesting thing to watch out. Say when you spend several elite unit, fight battles to spawn a GL. then you lost it to your enemy before it can run back to home city. Make sure you are not using a iron mouse, or your monitor are in danger

Hmm, maybe enemy may want ransom for your great leader?

Or your Great Leader goes to work for the other side. Like Benedict Arnold, first Colonel of the US Marines, went to work for the British... He just saw sense.

That reminds me on that CTP2 Defense of France scenario with same options when you capture the leaders.

Then the question is: is that Benedict Arnold a great leader? Maybe not. We need a better example :=)
Ransom? maybe. But it said: GL have to go back city un-captured. Well, we have to wait (

Hmm, I never played CTP2. And it seems to be good.
I tried SMAC tho, it was nice, at least better than CIV2 to me
So bad that they are working on the base of CIV2, not SMAC.

I hope they can be captured. That would be logical and cool.

You should be able to capture them and then blackmail the civ to buy them back.

Isn't that how capturing Barbarian diplomats worked in earlier games?

Yes, like in Civ1 & Civ2!

Kind of, but not that simple. You should barter with the civ in question for compensation. Nice touch in MP ( if there will ever be one that is ).

If you don't give as a 2000 gold your leader will be put to DEATH!

On the subject of great leaders, i hope that they are shown in the replay.

From what I've seen, you can capture them and then use them. That's reward enough. You cannot ransom them back to the original Civ. Then again, maybe a trade could occur in the diplomacy screen..............
