Oda motherfucking Nobunaga [http://dynastywarriors.neoseeker.com/w/i/dynastywarriors/thumb/6/64/Nobunaga_oda_sw2.png/400px-Nobunaga_oda_sw2.png]. Because, you know. He totally won the Sengoku wars.Experimental said:
Sadly, he's not able to fly or create glowing black energy swords, but he does give the Japanese the Bushido ability, which is basically the Law of Conservation of Ninjitsu [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConservationOfNinjutsu?from=Main.ConservationOfNinjitsu] in Civ form.
Really? That's weird, the one time I played against him he only had one city and no troops. Of course Montezuma took him over eventually but he never declared war.Rauten said:
In case no one stated it yet: The figurhead of Japan is indeed Oda Nobunaga...depicted as you would expect a medieval japanese Person. I couldn't bear some anime-douchebag leading japan. Although we all can agree that Nobunaga from Sengoku Basara would be awesome nonetheless.blakfayt said:It should be Nobunaga from Samurai warriors, for those who don't know, that version of him is a Sith, he has a long sword that radiates evil and he can force float and throw giant black orbs of death and destruction.nmaster64 said:Shoulda been Koizumi.Experimental said:

Great comic, as usual, loved the last panel, "several" I can hear that as all menacing in my mind, and it makes me lol.
Ah, the Civ versions of world leaders. They're so funny, each of them, but for very different reasons.
Some act surprisingly realistic. I remember getting into an arms race against Stalin in Civ IV, and having him remind me that he had nukes every time I entered diplomacy with him. Likewise, Lincoln was suitablly diplomatic, but wasn't afraid to kick ass (usually with me as an ally).
Some of them act like the complete opposite of their historic personalities. Gandhi is, of course, the biggest offender here. Joining him, we have peace-loving Napoleon; Weak-Willed and spineless worms Otto von Bismark and Frederick The Great; meek and mild Genghis Khan; and that annoying nuke-hoarding, back-stabbing bastard: Winston Churchill.
And, of course, some leaders just have such strange and/or hilarious personalities that, regardless of how accurate they are, are a blast to interact with. Catharine The Great is always funny with dialogue. Roosevelt has a habit of being the richest man in the world (somehow), and attempts to buy nearly everything off of me (10000 Gold for Radio? Seriously!?). And don't even get me started on how Shaka Zulu runs the UN...
And of course, Montezuma is a prick (the world's biggest douchebag, bar none).
Man, I love Civ IV...
Can't wait to get Civ V!

I always thought the rulers in civilizations were just to give some form of face to the nations. Without distiquishable and rememberable characters the game would immediately lose all its diplomatic value. In my playthroughs i've spared the rod and traded with the leaders that i find respectable and fearful of me.
But anyways, I think we shouldn't try to compare the leaders with the real world ones. For all i care they could be famous movie stars as long as they are different from one another.

Ok...why has this not been posted yet?
Anyway, brilliant comic. Absolutely hilarious and perfectly true. Actually, I wouldn't be suprised if a controvery shows up now that everyone has pointed this out.

At least that will bring up the price of his gun [http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2010/7/4/how-to-display-an-item-of-great-historical-significance-reru.html].
I didn't play Civ V (civv? savvy?) but in earlier versions even if you were playing nice as Ghandi he'd still sound like an ass. 'We are interested in peaceful trading... remember that our words are backed up by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!'
Still I never saw any reason to play as anything other than precolombian mesoamerican peoples. EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS SO THERE.

Ghandi was always hilarious. ************ kept trying to tankrush me in Civ4, which isn't advisable against my german empire. Heh, I kept destroying his land improvements with my airforce and navy, while fending off his assaults. HE.JUST.WOULDN'T.STOP. Hell, even nuking him didn't seem to be a discouragement...
He hasn't done anything in Civ5 yet, except pestering me about open borders...
