Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know this already, but this screenshot says that leader personalities will be randomized each game. Let's hope this is true.
EDIT: The shot also says they were random in civ 1 and 2, but I didn't think they were. Maybe it's not so accurate....
I hope it's true. I also hope personality type is not represted by a specific colour. I always knew in Civ2 that the blue civilization (usually Germans or Vikings) would be a pain in the arse for the whole game. I think in SMAC there was an option to randomise leader personalities so it's likely this will be in Civ3 also.
