Veeky Forums in view of Civ 6's impending release, I am making a mod for Civilization 2 that replaces all the leaders. Unlike later Civ games which have one or multiple leaders per civ, Civ 2 has one male or female option per Civ. Hence I need a woman option for each.
I am using pic related as a base. But given that the author is a filthy American and a progressive, its a little suspect for ideological bias. Hence, I will need recommendations for better choices based on following criteria:
1. Female rulers who were regnant or co-rulers in their own right (e.g. QE1, Catherine the Great, Isabella I etc.) or significant military or political leaders (e.g. Jeanne d'Arc, the Trung sisters etc.) Regents (e.g. Catherine d'Medici) or influential consorts (e.g. Gorgo or Theodora) are acceptable at a pinch. None of this moral and symbolic crap of putting famous artists/ecclesiastical or thought leaders.
2. They should have truly significant accomplishments or developments in their reign (even if they were mostly bad, incompetent or evil) and not just in because they are female.
3. Legendary or apocryphal female leaders like Dido, Jingu or Tomyris can be in if there are really no other options, but should not be a first pick.
