Summary0016888: Polish: Show a "bubble" depicting a race's leader on their headquarter
DescriptionHow about using the pretty way rogues are displayed (you know the nice gilded frame) for something else: Insert the picture of a race's leader and show the result on a race's main building.

For me, this would achieve multiple things:

a) More visual representation of actual individuals of a race as opposed to their buildings directly on the screen I see most - the map
-> more "personality" for the races -> always good in my book

b) An easy to find indicator to locate a race's HQ
-> I often find myself hunting for these by examining building details -> time consuming and not so fun

c) It would look awesome I think and provide much needed (in my book) flavor

d) It gives the leaders a location on the map, which again is less abtract and gives the player the possibility to think something like: There he sits! Wait **** I will come an get you! ;)

For even more utility this could also be extended by showing the bubbles on the edge of the screen in case the capital building is off-screen to indicate in which direction the respective capital is located. Would be useful for navigation, especially if playing with a zoomed-in view.

Whoa, hold the phone, a thought:

-- give leaders a physical location on the map, and if they die then that’s a subjugation immediately?

Sounds good to me. Definitely gives you a reason to go for the races' headquarters ;).

Not going to do this one after all, but the events will kind of make up for it.
