I would like to have a "more historical" option for random leaders during the game set-up.
I think the current algorithm works like this:
- Roll for leader
- Select historic/geographic civ choice
- If 2) is not possible, select strategic civ choice
- Roll for next leader
- Select historic/geographic civ choice
...
This leads to strange scenarios, in which for instance first, Charlemagne is rolled and is selecting Rome, then Augustus is rolled is selecting Carthage.
Now I myself like my games most then the 3 civs follow a historical/cultural path and the leader has a connection to one of the three civs. (Don't get me wrong I really like the idea of evolutionary civ switching and prefer to playing the same civ all the time.) Therefore, I would like to have an option during game set-up to change the algorithm to something like this:
- Roll for leader
- Select historic/geographic civ choice or civ which is on the pathway for historic/geographic civ choice
- If 2) is not possible, re-roll leader
