leader based

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm talking something like civilizatio n four and above where different leaders have different abilities, and each civilization had more than one for a selection where you can only pick one where the civilization would dictate starting techs, specialized units, and specialized buildings where the leaders would have different abilities. This could be applied to galactic civilizations where different factions would have specialized tech trees. Each faction would have multiple leaders for you to choose from with a mixture of or, different combination of abilities and personalities. Where you still pick the more abilities normally. This is probably the biggest upgrade for civilization four I think it would make a difference on gameplay for the better here. What do you think. Please help me out by supporting this. Negative critisism is also welcome. You would have to have a list of leaders to pick from in customization like you do with aims maybe more of them picking multiples the limit would depend on how many the factions have.

I like this is idea, but for for dlc or expansion rather than the base game for a few reasons:

1) You will be able to achieve this in effect through custom factions.

2) It would require many more art assets which it seems from comments on the stream are a major bottleneck for Stardock.

3) Currently factions are defined by traits, bonuses, and tech trees. I'm not sure that any of these make a ton of sense to attribute to a leader. The racial bonuses make the most sense, but are also the most generic.

I would say expansion, this would take a lot of time and resources to achieve but I like the concept.

it seems like this is a request for a less flexible & more complicated version of the ideology tree shown during the last devstream

I played civilization four, and took a look at five. The civics or ideologies are not for leaders. Leaders have abilities like religious and military. You could give them abilities and or, personalities. While everything else is for the faction.

I suggested awhile back, and it sounds they are implementing it. That in the sandbox only that their should be some kind of encouragement for playing the faction how you should.

This phrase belongs nowhere near this game.

Doesn't it sound silly saying that Thalans or drath are no different from me than blacks or Asians. I mean their are no guarantees that their blood is water, or that they are made from left handed proteins. That they are carbon based, or that their genetic structure has a different combination of acids. They are probably different kingdom.
