Question of the Day, September 14, 2010



Greg Tito channeled Hiawatha of the Iroquois clan in his recent review of Civilization V [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/previews/8100-Preview-Civilization-V]. Which ancient leader are you most looking forward to becoming? How come?

[Daxus13]

Cao Cao, or maybe Zoraster. Both would be nice

 

[Jared]

Nobunaga, he would be kinda fun...or, Perhaps Richard the Lionheart

 

[chstens]

Harald Hårfagre, Norway.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Does Stalin count? Maybe he can battle some martians and dance while he's at it.

 

[z3rostr1fe]

I'll go with Ferdinand Marcos... O_O

 

[De Ronneman]

My preference would be Hanibal (Elephants man, elephanta!)

Always have a sweet spot for the crazy guys in history...

 

[unacomn]

It would have to be a tie between Deceba, Burebista, Mihai Viteazu and Mircea cel Batran. Regretably, they aren't in the game.

 

[Mimssy]

Alexander is from Macedonia. I'll take him over the other choices available. Queen Dido would have been fun.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

I need more information on their strengths and weaknesses before coming to a decision. Perhaps Alexander, though; I'm partially named after him, and he conquered quite a bit of the known world in a ridiculously short time.

 

[paketep]

Other: bring back Spain and Isabella, dammit!

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Alexander, especially if I get to call on the power of the Greek gods.

The power of Zeus shall smite thee!

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I usually go with the English civ, so depending on which Civ I'm playing that could be Richard, Elizabeth, Churchill and so on. I suppose I'll find out which English rulers there are in V when I buy it. Other possible civs include Celt and Norse, but I'll just have to wait and see.

I have no intention of getting this game, but if I did, I'd play as Oda Nobunaga. Seriously, the guy was so legendary in Japan, that people thought he was possessed by a demon. Countless animes and games characterize him as such, too.

Does Stalin count? Maybe he can battle some martians and dance while he's at it.

I think that video left me dumbfounded. And disturbed. And I don't know what else. Is that real?

Unfortunately, yes, it is. Behold the reliability that is Wikipedia...

[Hippobatman]

Harald Hårfagre, Norway.

Is he in it? If so, then hell yeah I'll be playing him.

Norway ftw!

 

[Evilsanta]

Damn it's a tie between Caesar and Nobunaga...Hmmm I il go wih Caesar he got the most epic quote when he gets betrayed. If you dont know it you dont EXIST!

 

[Trifixion]

Alexander. Gotta go with the guy Iron Maiden wrote a song about.
