@@lordlordington4159 not all of them fall off as hard though. Himiko doesn't all off at all, and Oya and the Twins want to be fighting units not cities in the first place, so not so much for them either. Maui and Herc can still use their charges just as well in the late game and in the early game,though outside of that they do fall off. Sinbad also cares more about enemy boats/ barb camps than cities anyway, so him falling off depends more on the map and may become useless as soon as the Classical Era hits, or still be amazing in the Future Era. Beowulf, Mulan, Arthur and Hippolyta do fall off hard with enemy walls though, and Anansi falls off because his scaling is awful, and starting with the Modern Era all he does is double your science and culture output for 6 turns, which is definitely not worth the faith cost. And personally I find Sun Wukong lackluster all game long.

It's a bit immersion-breaking for them to show up in civilizations they didn't live in historically.

[@HistorianOfVaelris]

Then again, Civ franchise doesn't really emphasize historical accuracy and immersion in the first place, since you play an immortal ruler and all civs can appear regardless of starting era, so I can forgive the lack of immersion. If I want a more immersive experience, there's Old World, which has you play a dynasty of rulers, with each turn being a year, and your governors and generals are procedurally generated from the noble families you assign to your cities and arranging marriages between the families. Only gripe is that I wish you could have more than three families per empire.

I want to see you conquer some of those cities, only to have Lake Sinbad pillage the hell out of you for daring to question the wisdom of summoning him in that city.

He can only pillage Barb camps and barb naval units in pretty sure
