I know this thread was/is dead but:
my favourite gamse are N:TW and NW. Guess who is my favourite leader
(yes it is Napoleon)
but there are also plenty of other great leaders like Frederick the Great, Peter the Great, Alexander the Great (there is a reason why they are called the Great
) and, although he wasn't a real leader but a great politician, Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527). I love reading his works and it's a shame that he doesn't get the attention he deserves.
