Civilization IV Leaders by Trait

I wanted to play Civilization with certain exact combinations of leader traits, and got tired of combing through the lists looking for what I wanted. So I made this chart. Look across the top for the alphabetically-first desired trait, then go down to the row with the alphabetically-second trait to find what leader matches those traits.

	Aggressive	Charismatic	Creative	Expansive	Financial	Imperialistic	Industrious	Organized	Philosophical	Protective
Charismatic	Celts/Boudica
Creative	Mongols/Kublai	--
Expansive	Zulu/Shaka	America/Washington	Khmer/Suryavarman
Financial	Viking/Ragnar	Carthage/Hannibal	Dutch/Willem	Maya/Pacal
Imperialistic	Mongols/Genghis	Persia/Cyrus	Russia/Catherine	Portugal/Joao	England/Victoria
Industrious	Russia/Stalin	France/DeGaulle	France/Louis XIV	Germany/Bismarck	Inca/Capac	Rome/Augustus
Organized	Babylon/Hammurabi	France/Napoleon	Ethiopia/Zara	Ottoman/Mehmed	Persia/Darius	Rome/Julius	America/Roosevelt
Philosophical	Greece/Alexander	America/Lincoln	Greece/Pericles	Russia/Peter	England/Elizabeth	Ottomans/Suleiman	---	Germany/Frederick
Protective	Japan/Tokogawa	England/Churchill	Sumeria/Gilgamesh	China/Mao	Korea/Kon	Holy Roman Empire/Charlemagne	China/Qin	---	Native America/Sitting Bull
Spiritual	Aztecs/Montezuma	Celts/Brennus	Egypt/Hatshepsut	Spain/Isabella	Mali/Musa	Byzantium/Justinian	Egypt/Rameses	India/Asoka	India/Gandhi	Arabia/Saladin

In assembling this information, I found it interesting that each leader represents a unique combination of traits, and that there are three combinations which have no leader. So if you want to be Organized + Protective, too bad.

And if you have trouble remembering exactly what the traits are ("Wait, what's the difference between Industrious and Organized again?"), here's a reminder:

Industrious		Wonders, Forge (-50%)
Organized		Factory, Lighthouse, Courthouse (-50%)		-50% Civic Upkeep
Philosophical		Great Person (+100%), University (-50%)
Protective	City Garrison I + Drill I (Archery,Gunpowder)	Walls, Castle (-50%)
Spiritual		Temple (-50%)		No Anarchy
