Well, the Zulu were the first pick of the game. At least things won't be dull....

Agg Zulu have been a classic in RtR. Agg reduces maintenance and doubles construction of ikhandas for culture + even more maintenance reduction.
In addition to OP impis of course

Ok this Russia pick on the other hand is very strange. It's a good civ, but when you're in the top 2 or 3 spots in the snakepick the goal is to get a super good pick with your first choice (Zulu, Inca, or a leader you really want) and see what comes back. Both to maximize your pick and to deny a good pick from the people after you. But here he's taken a mid tier civ (because of its UU and UB coming in the late game). Well maybe he'll take an early game leader to compensate for the lack of early help from the civ.

So if given the choice, do you think it would be better to secure Inca or take a desirable leader?

There won't be a lot of picks chosen between the first choice and the second choice (only two people), so it's probably not a vital choice.
The advantage of taking Inca first (if one of the next 3 people don't take them) is that you still have flexibility with regards to which leader to pick. Inca wants Pro, but Pro/Cha is fine if Wang Kon is not available anymore, and so is Pro/Phi, Pro/Exp or Pro/Ind. The advantage of taking Wang Kon first is that it's a good leader that can pair very well with China too for example. The strategy for Wang Kon of China is to rush towards the Colossus (for fin + colossus coasts and ocean tiles) which directly leads to machinery and Chu Ko Nu.

I guess my choice would be to take Inca first and look for a good Pro leader on the second round. Unless Inca gets taken before of course.

Makes sense.

Ok, I grabbed Wang Kon first and will pick up China assuming it's available.
