8. Leaders
Some leaders in the game have special advantages or, in some cases, disadvantages.
Gifted Oratory: May add two to the die roll on any attempt to cause rebellion.
Instinct For Self-Preservation: If Alcibiades would be killed for any reason, he instead changes allegiance. He is removed from the map, and is available to Sparta on the next turn. If he would be killed while in the service of Sparta, he is removed from the map, and returns to the Athenian side on the next turn. This may happen any number of times.
Lack Of Prestige: May not activate any Spartan hoplite or cavalry SPs.
Politician: If more than one leader is present at a battle or skirmish, use the one with the highest skill rating.
Inventive Tactician: May add two to the die roll when attempting to fight a skirmish instead of a hoplite battle, and when resolving the skirmish.
Luck: May re-roll a battle or siege roll once during the game.
Popular Support: As long as Pericles is alive, Athens is forced to agree to peace only if her bellicosity is 4 or less (instead of the usual 5 or less).
Poor Health: Pericles is killed if plague strikes Athens.
