I agree.

I beg to differ - the word "tyrant" has too much of a negative sense
associated to it. Most of the time, despotism will be the government any
given nation will have at the beginning of the game, and its head not
necessarily with be {evil,cruel,ruthless,etc.}.

I'd go with "despot" (if there were an adequate for translation for
spanish "caudillo", that would be better, though).

Disclaimer: my being a spanish speaker might influence my opinion.
