The latest Civilization VI video, an interview with the developers at Firaxis. At 2:50 during the video, a board can be seen in the background with a grid of portraits that are apparently ordered alphabetically by Civ name, left to right, top to bottom.
It's kind of blurry, and not everything has been made out yet, but it's close enough that people have decoded most of the chart.
The three that can't be completely made out either by matching images or placement deduction are:
B5: A Civ that's between Germany and Greece alphabetically doesn't leave a great many options. Outside chance they mixed up their letters and it's supposed to be Georgia.
C5: A Civ that's between Kongo and Poland allows for a much wider berth; current leading guesses fall between Mongolia, Ottomans, and Persia. The latter's been in every Civ since 2, but that's not an assurance - possible it's a Sassanid-era relief, though.
E1: It does seem closest to Philip II, but this seems to present a problem- D5 is almost certainly Isabella of Portugal (Phillip's mother), who, despite the name, could only really lay claim to personal regency of Spain. Why would Spain be the only Civ with two rulers, even if they're planning alternate leaders?
And for that matter, D5: There's a distinct possibility that the artists did an image search for Queen Isabella of Spain and used that image - it shows up in the top 10, despite being a different person than the more popularly known Isabella I.
Brand new Leaders (new Civs starred):
Theodore Roosevelt of America
Catherine de Medici of France
Hojo Tokimune of Japan
*Afonso I of Kongo
Jadwiga of Poland
Trajan of Rome
*Tomyris of Scythia
Returning Leaders
Saladin of Arabia (first appeared in Civ IV)
Montezuma II of Aztecs (first appeared in Civ I)
Pedro II of Brazil (first appeared in Civ V:Brave New World)
Cleopatra of Egypt (first appeared in Civ II)
Victoria of England (first appeared in Civ IV)
Barbarossa of Germany (first appeared in Civ II)
Pericles of Greece (first appeared in Civ IV)
Gandhi of India (first appeared in Civ I)
Peter I of Russia (first appeared in Civ IV)
Gilgamesh of Sumeria (first appeared in Civ III:Conquests)
(Should it be either Isabella I or Phillip II for Spain, both were introduced in Civ II. Isabella of Portugal has not yet been in a Civ game.)
(Gandhi is the only leader to have been in every single vanilla installment. The Aztecs have had both Montezuma I and Montezuma II in the series, so they have not have had the same leader for every game.)
Though Arioch seems to think that because there are seeimingly 22 Civs present that not all of them can be in the included game (only 18 in the base game), it must be remembered that there are already 4 post-launch DLC planned, which could explain the number.
Sounds reasonable enough

I just want the "Sid's" difficulty to be actually smart, not outright fucking cheat.
