I really wanted to put some cartoonist and film directors but I don't know in which place to put them and what pictures or quotes to use but I'll think about it.

Good grief, you could make a new mod just with those haha. I'm almost certain Zaha Hadid is in the Magnum Opus mod Some of them almost made the cut but a lot are unknown to me so it will be also interesting.

Possible Writer:
J. R. R. Tolkien (Modern): The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings

I propose you to add a new Great Musician:

...I was thinking maybe to add Wellington?

You know, the general guy who defeated Napoleon.

Given he was also a great organiser of the military, maybe his ability could be +1 military government slot?

hello! a few Brazilian Great People, as they tend to get overlooked. ironic since Pedro's thing is Great People

Machado de Assis (Writer - Industrial Era): Dom Casmurro, Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas
Considered Brazil's greatest writer (some say the greatest black writer of all time), he was a grandson of slaves and never had the opportunity of a formal education. Still, he managed to become extremely cultured from his willingness to learn for himself from the people around him.

Santos Dumont (Engineer - Modern Era): Made some very important advances in aeronautics, so something with planes, possibly making them cost less production. In Brazil people are taught he was the actual inventor of planes. He was top of his game and made sure not to patent his advancements, speeding up the evolution of the technology. All the money he won in competitions was given away to his workers and good causes. Some cool rumours of him exist, they say he showed up to kids' birthday parties in airships, and piloted the dirigibles around just to buy groceries.

Heitor Villa-Lobos (Musician - Modern Era): The Little Train of the Caipira, Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5
Most well known South American composer. In his life, the most well known from all Americas.

Tom Jobim (Musician - Atomic Era): The Girl from Ipanema, Waters of March, Chega de Saudade
Internationalized Bossa Nova. Probably not in the game only because of active copyright.

Aleijadinho (Artist - Industrial Era): 12 Prophets (Religious), Church of São Francisco de Assis (Religious)
Baroque sculptor/architect and a very mysterious figure, he left his house/workshop exclusively at night and completely covered in robes, later only inside of a palanquin. People believe it was because he was born disfigured or had contracted leprosy. I know the Church is more of a Wonder thing but it's a small building, he's known for doing the façade. Just imagine it's in the vicinity of the exposition you put it in.

Monteiro Lobato (Writer - Modern Era) Yellow Woodpecker Ranch, Adventures of Lucia Little Nose
I'd say he was the biggest writer for children's literature in Brazil, but also a novelist, publisher, translator and art critic. Creator of the popular Yellow Woodpecker Ranch series (of which Adventures of Lucia Little Nose is the first volume), he had a fabulous way of telling. The stories took place in the countryside, so it would be cool if he wrote only Yellow Woodpecker Ranch but the city/civ it's currently in gains +1 culture for every farm.

Also I noticed there's no Lovecraft, so here it is
H.P. Lovecraft (Writer - Modern Era) Call of Cthulhu, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, At the Mountains of Madness
You probably know him, created cosmic horror and the Cthulhu Mythos, very popular nowadays.
Kafka and Orwell are also missing.

For the BR writers' quotes it's a bit hard to find them in English, so here it is

Dom Casmurro
“Lovers' language, give me an exact and poetic comparison to say what those eyes of Capitu were like. No image comes to mind that doesn't offend against the rules of good style, to say what they were and what they did to me. Undertow eyes? Why not? Undertow."

Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas
"To the worm who first gnawed on the cold flesh of my corpse, I dedicate with fond remembrance these Posthumous Memoirs"

Yellow Woodpecker Ranch
"-Why so many little stars? Are you trying to hide the age?
-No. It's to confuse future historians. They're very nosy people."
or
"This 'starting' thing is not easy. Ending it is so much simpler. You drip a period and it's over; or you jot down a little latin: FINIS. But starting; that is truly terrible."

Adventures of Lucia Little Nose
"There isn't a single fish in the river who doesn't know her; as soon as she shows, all wake with great hunger."

Maybe a Great Scientist who gives a wildcard policy slot, and a Great General who gives a military policy slot? You have two merchants who give diplomatic and economic policy slots, so why not round it out a little?

Not sure which historical figures could be used though

There's a lot of great ideas there. Concerning cartoonists, you can put them in great artist. Many author of comics and graphic designers made panels you can compare to classic paintings.You can also add photographs like Robert Doisneau in it to add diversity.

Great artists :

- Robert Doisneau (modern era)
- Henri de Toulouse Lautrec (industrial era)
- Enki Bilal (information era)
- Moebius (information era)
- Jean Del Cour (renaissance era)

Great engineers :

- Rennequin Sualem (renaissance era) : military engineers can finish aqueducts, canals, flood barriers and dams with one charge.
- Zénobe Gramme (industrial era) : power plants and hydroelectric dams give extra electricity.

Great merchant :

- Jean Nehaus (modern era) : gold bonus for cacao and sugar plantations and/or give praline luxury ressource.

Great scientist :

- Edouard van Beneden (industrial era) : all animal ressources gain 2 science

I have one idea so far, but I dunno if it's any good:

Great Artist: Umberto Boccioni

1. The City Rises (Landscape)
   
2. Dynamism of a Cyclist (Landscape)
   
3. Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (Sculpture)

(I think we could definitely use a few more sculptures :P)

Great Musician:
Michael Jackson (Information Era): Billie Jean, Heal the World, Thriller
Freddie Mercury (Atomic Era): Don't Stop Me Now, Somebody to Love, Bohemian Rhapsody

Great Merchant:
Steve Jobs (Information Era)

Great Scientist:
Satoshi Nakamoto (Information Era)
Marie Curie (Atomic Era)

Great Artist:
Banksy (Information Era): Balloon Girl, Flower Thrower, Game Changer

Possible Writers: George Orwell (Atomic) (Animal Farm, 1984)

Possible Musicians:
Eric Burdon (Atomic) (House of the Rising Sun, Don’t Let Me Be Understood, I’m in Love)
Elton John (Information) (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Rocketman, I Guess that’s why they call it the blues)
Jun’ya Ota (Information) (Septette for the Dead Princess, Voyage 1969, Hourai Victim)

Would also be cool if some great works could be found as artifacts/relics, like Greensleeves or Beowulf
