Apparently they did leader packs and instead of adding Napoleon they put a mask on Catherine? What's she known for besides massacring 30,000 French people

Doing a reskin of characters costs less money than adding a new model, which they would have to for Napoleon.

The reason Catherine (France) is in the game is because they wanted to switch up the usual leaders but still have a lot of women in the game. A lot of countries don't simply have famous or well known women so a lot of them are basically footnotes in history. Interestingly some of the well known women leaders aren't even in the game such as Catherine the Great (Russia) since she has already been in Civ games.
