Great people (GPs) make a return in Civilization V. The following table lists the abilities of the great people. In addition to those features in the table, all Great Persons can be used to start a Golden Age in vanilla. This ability is unique to the Great Artist in Gods and Kings.
Earning them
Edit
Great people are usually earned through
great people points generated by specialists as well as several wonders and social policies.
Great generals and great admirals, however, are generated by engaging your units in combat.
