  Ok:
- In Wesnoth, all citizens follow a leader, so their loyalty is unquestioned, 
and also there is always at least one reasonably wise leader. What's more, the 
wise
- ones tend to end up in power, eventually. Also, the only form of resistance 
is rebellion, and the only form of trickery is legitimate combat trickery, 
rather
- than befuddling people with false information to get them to vote for 
inadequate leaders.

- Scott: I always thought it was odd that in movies, books, tv, and video games 
the leader was always the oldest or wisest guy who actually had leadership
- ability, wisdom, and the support of the people.  In America, the leaders are 
lawyers.  Especially at the local level some of these yahoos look like used car
- salesmen.  Occassionally there will be a former doctor or businessperson 
running for office.  But our lawyer-leaders are the exact opposite of the 
leaders
- we put into our fiction.
