Who's your favourite Great Person?

[Speaker]

Epic necro. But since you bumped this thread....

By far, my favorite great person is the Great Spy "Speaker the Lionhearted." In fact, he is gamebreakingly overpowered.

Single player: great engineer. So many awesome and fun wonders, so little hammers!

Multiplayer: (hear me out) great ARTIST. Rather than razing the enemy city like you always do, send in a great artist, end resistance, pop the borders 4 tiles away for scounting, a highly defensible position at 80% cultural defense, and even deny your enemy that strategic resource. Anything else is a disappointment.

I agree with this. I voted for GEs because the advantage of being able to build wonders without much time or shields is just simply awesome.
