Comic was hilarious, but I am once more reminded of why I have avoided the Civ series like the plague my entire life.

maybe what they should do is change your avatar based off your actionsThe_root_of_all_evil said:For some reason Civilization seems to miss out some of the more notable historic rulers as well.
Adolf, Pol Pot, Stalin - but keeps in all the "nice" dictators.
And then allows them to threaten you openly with nukes.
I'm seeing a minor problem here Sid...
Willy Brandt would probably work, maybe Helmut Khol or Angela Merkel tooodanhammer said:maybe what they should do is change your avatar based off your actionsThe_root_of_all_evil said:For some reason Civilization seems to miss out some of the more notable historic rulers as well.

IF your playing germany for example , your avatar starts off as a famous neutral german, but turn into a jewish hating warlord and your avatar turns into hilter , turn into a nice friendly neighbour and your avatar turns into famous nice german.
Sorry i don't know any names its 3am
I kicked some ass as Eleanor Roosevelt on the PSX (or was it the SNES?) in Civ 1.The Critic said: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!
Hungary's a city state in Civ 5, well, at least, Budapest is. States that didn't form huge empires usually end up in this category, it's especially hilarious if you play the world map where they move all the civilizations around. In my last game Budapest was in Northern Siberia, and was conquered by both the Romans and the Persians. Who are several hundred years before Hungary, but whatever, Civ's about being Gandhi and threatening the world with nuclear weapons, not historical accuracy.The_ModeRazor said:Lol'ed, that's for sure.
Gandhi actually was badass... in a nice and benevolent way. And pulling that off instantly triples his badassery.
But... no Hungary? I mean, we did kinda kick a buttload of arse in the middle ages! (well, until we didn't anymore. Whatever)
I would really prefer if you either had your choice of leader, or if your leader changed with the era.JourneyThroughHell said:In Civ V, the leaders are basically deities, used to represent you and other players. As such, they never die and never age through the course of the game.luvd1 said:... Is that George Washington? Can you time travel in civ 5?
OT: Huh, so he's bad now? I remember him being alright, if malicious, in Civ IV.
You made my day with that reference!TheMann said:Oh that's just completely inaccurate. Everyone knows that George Washington was 12 stories tall and made of radiation.
Yeah, terrible dated reference; I know.
