Do you insert "fictional" (ahistorical) Leaders in your games?

[unmerged(4868)]

I was wondering if I am the only one that does this. Sometimes I have a favorite nation to play (e.g. Austrian Empire), and sometimes I tend to play them with an alternative bent on history. Anyways, my two favorite (fictional) leaders I use are below and clearly they are (ahistorical) Admirals for typically non-maritime nations that have the potential to become semi-maritime powers:


historicalleader = {
id = { type = 6 id = 09388 }
category = admiral
name = "D. Benvenutti"
startdate = {
year = 1788
month=january
day=12
}
deathdate = {
year = 1802
}
rank = 3
movement = 3
fire = 3
shock = 2
siege = 0
dormant = yes
remark = "Dario Benvenutti of Trieste, fictional"
}

Rear Admiral Benvenutti is the Austrian Empire's most famous fleet commander during the early Napoleonic Period. A native of the Italian-speaking Imperial City of Trieste, he is triggered by a minor event when Austria finally owns and controls the Dalmatian province of Istria.




historicalleader = {
id = { type = 6 id = 09422 }
category = admiral
name = "von Döring"
startdate = {
year = 1779
month=march
day=10
}
deathdate = {
year = 1796
}
rank = 2
movement = 2
fire = 3
shock = 3
siege = 0
dormant = yes
remark = "Martin von Döring of Stettin, fictional"
}

As a young flotilla commander defending the Pommeranian coastline, von Döring caught the attention of the aging great King of Prussia, Frederick II the Great. This was most certainly the case in 1780, when von Döring's small but stalwart naval force repulsed a large raiding fleet from the Kingdom of Sweden.

I do think that nations who lack leaders for the majority of their in-game history should receive one leader with mediocre stats and lifespan each century. And each nation should have a generic monarch after the historical and fantasy (in AGCEEP) leaders all die.

i add leaders for nations, but i seek out real ones but make them dormant until triggered by event

Used to do that when I was writing my Pomerania AAR; still sometimes do when I feel like it.
