OK, I don't know what the rest of the world's version of American baseball's cards is, but basically it's a small card that has a player's portrait on one side and the player's stats on the other, like below:

Now imagine the same thing for each of your player rulers. On the front side is the image of the ruler, probably at the time of his or her death, along with name, house and dynasty info, and birth, death and reign dates.

Click the card and it would "flip over" and on the back would be highlights of his/her rule, not as icons but as text. Wars fought, people murdered, titles held, marriages, children... obviously some choices to be made there, or maybe have hyperlinks that will display more info as a mouseover.

Now here's the cool part. All cards would be saved into a separate save file, so they would be available from the main menu as well as the in-game menu, and all the cards generated by all the games you've played would be available to view. And maybe the file could be outputted in some format. You might even have a way to post your current ruler, or your favorite one, to social media.

So, anyone else like this idea? And is there such a thing as a football (soccer) card?
