I hope I'm wrong and we get a good amount of civs with multiple leaders but budget and development time is certainly something that get in the way of this ideal situation, so I'll be surprised if it actually happens. Considering that, although multiple leaders sounds interesting, I would prefer to have at least the same amount of civs Civ V vanilla had, hopefully more. The early game of Civilization 6 is more flexible than previous entries in the series thanks to the many, varied bonuses enjoyed by leaders and civs alike, but three cities by turn 60-70 is a.

It's pretty undeniable that Civ 6 has sought to introduce newer / fan favourite civs (Georgia, Australia, Cree, Hungary) to the series. Personally, I would take that in lieu of other Civs. So assuming that Civ VI will have voiced leaders, which I think we can take that as granted, I'm pretty sure this limit the amount of leaders they can do, so if we get multiple leaders per civ, this most certainly means Civ VI vanilla will have less leaders than Civ V vanilla. Civilization 6 introduced the concept of civilizations having multiple possible leaders to choose from with different personal benefits that add on to a civilization's existing benefits. Aside from Gorgo and Pericles, I was operating under the assumption that there would be multiple leaders for Civs in Civ6. I'm pretty sure this is the main reason Civ V have one leader per Civ, they just can't pop out as many leaders as they could in Civ IV, so they had to choose between having more Civs with one leader each or fewer civs with multiple leaders each. The animation also looks a lot simpler in IV compared to V. Correctly me if I'm wrong but, if Quill18's video isn't lying to me, Civ IV leaders aren't voiced, which means they are cheaper and not as time consuming as making a Civ V leader.
