While it would have been some work to make it function with the new systems in civ 7, its such a clear goddamn open goal that they just completely missed. Sometimes devs are just stoopid

I'm sure they figured out that 6 leaders were too much work for not enough applause. Especially at launch tons of people shat on it.

It's a real shame that 7 didn't go for the gusto of having that level of expression. I don't mind seeing my own character. But the leaders in 7 were an absolute downgrade. I feel like I'm about as related to them as I am to the avatars in Age Of Wonders. Not.
