Grouping Leaders?

[Dayvit78]

Hi all,

There's so many rulers in the game. I wish there a better way to group them.
For example, let's say I want to play a religious victory, and I want all the AI to be religious focused leaders. How would I do that? Or I want all leaders that have some ability related to science, etc.
Or what if I want to play with all African leaders?

So you so see, I wish there was a way to orgzanize, sort or search for leaders from the setup screen. I don't think there is right?

The game does not provide a way to sort the leaders like this. You could make lists of leaders outside the game, preselected for membership based on whatever criteria, and then choose the leaders appearing in your game from among the members of a list that you feel like using for any particular game. You'll have to hunt-and-peck for those leaders from the alphabetical list that the game provides.

If at some future time they add a setup option to limit which leaders can appear randomly in the game (a "Select Leaders" option similar to the current "Select City-States" and "Select Natural Wonders" options) then it will be possible to create a saved configuration for each of your desired groups of leaders and the game will automatically handle assigning random AI slots to members of that list.

Doing that is not currently an option, however. To simulate it you can create and save a configuration with the rest of the game settings you want, and then after loading the configuration each time you will need to fill the AI slots in your game with leaders chosen (by you, or randomly using whatever random selection technique outside the game that you prefer) from the list you want to use for that game.

I really wish they did an update for this too

In the screen game select mode. have options for;....

1) Ancient Era mode*... all the leaders that where around in ancient times only show in the leader select

2) Classical Era mode... all the leaders in classical times only show up in leader select. PLUS game starts in classical era.

3) Medievil Era mode... as above

Then options for
1)European Civs only,
2)Africa civs only.
3)Asia and Oceania civs only
4) New world civs only

*Although the civs for the ancient Era are still not fleshed out enough YET for Civ 6, as No Hittites, Assriya, Ancient Judah, Armenia, or Ancient Egypt yet.

The problem with making groups of leaders based on their play types is that who is to say what is "correct" for each leader. As soon as Firaxis were to make such lists, you'd see complaining that certain leaders are and are not on certain lists.

It would be kind of cool to add a UI feature where you could make your own custom lists to easily choose from.

Perhaps bring that up to the dev team on the My2K forums, or possibly see if a modder is interested in working on such a UI element.

Thats true,

I do think leader selection, would be much easier if it was A to Z civ order, rather than A-Z leader order

Selecting from Arabia to Zulu,
is much easier tham selecting Amoritte to................... i dont even know who would be bottom of the alpabrtical leader list LOL

That's pretty much how I select my opponents. Having to select manually is a minor annoyance.
