Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Greatest leader of all time!.
From the list you provided I would have to say Genghis Khan!.
Reason is Genghis Khan life spanned te greatest change and Genghis Khan conquered the greatest land mass ever by a single leader!.

Khan was born the 3rd son of a minor chieftain!. His father was killed when he was 8 and despite living on the run for a number of years when we was 11 he was captured and made a slave!. After his escape he became his very impressive climb to power!. He united the various tribes of the Mongols, conquered China then conquered the majority of Asia, a good chunk of Europe!.

Cleopatra - Born to royalty, Great granddaughter of Ptolemy the Greek Pharaoh!. Political manipulative, but was supported by rome!.

Napoleon - Made emperor by his own hand, by born to a privileged family!. (my #3 from this list)

Alexander - Born the son of a King, royal education, was born with wealth and power!. He managed to retain the wealth and power and set forth on a very impressive raid!. However unlike the Khan he never held his conquest for any length of time!.

Caesar - Master political & military strategist and tactician!. But again Rome was a power, and he expanded Rome with the conquest of Gaul but he did not build it from scratch!. Rome had a powerful government, military and political system that functioned very well!.

Queen Victoria - The Empire was basically handed to her, and it is to her credit that she did not screw it up!. But she did have a political system and government that allowed her to do this!.

Bismark - Briliant strategist, and diplomat, helped create the 2nd German Reich!.

Aristotle - Alexanders teacher!.

George Washington - (#2 on my list!.) He led a successful rebelion against the greatest empire of the time, became leader of the country, Elected leader, and then after 2 terms turned the government over to others and birthed a great nation!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

For Civilization 4 i would recommend Napoleon, since the special features are well suited to winning the game and he is a nightmare to have against you!.

same applies to Caesar!.

avoid Washington because you will almost never use his special unit before the game ends!.

Alexander is good if you want to start well

Cleopatra is advised against, fairly weak!.

the others are reasonably average!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
