Leaders through the Ages III: Back with a vengeance! - Page 3

Saint Marcus · October 11, 2003, 08:43

what?! He looks nothing like the real William of Orange!

Saint Marcus · October 11, 2003, 08:50

ah, that figures. Firaxis screwed up.

The leaderhead is that of Stadtholder William III aka King William I of England. Not that of William of Orange.

At least change the name of the leader, Firaxis.

History Guy · October 11, 2003, 13:03

That's what I said. They've got the wrong William of Orange.

Saint Marcus · October 11, 2003, 13:34

hope they can change it.

At leas the leadername, that is.

Louis XXIV · October 11, 2003, 17:45

They definately aren't changing the leaderhead. At the very best, they would change the name and discription.

Weren't they both William the Orange?

Louis XXIV · October 11, 2003, 17:49

How do you know whether Thedora is anceint or Medieval?

EDIT: Should have used the Edit button

I guess it was how I looked at the thread

History Guy · October 11, 2003, 22:44

William the Orange? My favorite muppet!

Louis, same name, two different guys. It's like drawing John Quincy Adams when you mean John Adams.

Novaya Havoc · October 12, 2003, 07:23

I would say that Theodora is in her medieval outfit. Even though she was around in mid-1st century CE, I wouldn't qualify her as exactly "ancient." Her outfit is too ornate in comparison with the other ancient leaderheads, besides. Rome, Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Arabia, et al don't even compare to Theodora, but medieval leaderheads match up a little more closely.

yes, though one was William III of Orange.

History Guy · October 12, 2003, 14:44

Our William, the guy who got shot in 1581, was Stadtholder William I. Their WIlliam, who should have been our William, is William III, King of England.

Novaya,

How is Theodora from the mid-1st Century? She lived in the 500s AD!

Paddy · October 12, 2003, 17:34

Firaxis score another great goal with the two Williams....

Like we are to be shocked that after earning a tad of dollars, after selling one expansion kit, just to sell us another, they get details upside down...

Well done Firaxis... you guys will never be able to sell to the PlayStation market.... for there is no opportunity to download corrections on those games... keep this crap up and your market will just walk.... come on lads, get your collective together, pull the old finger out, and get your act together.

I think bringing up this info will only change the discription of who they wrote about to be the same as the leaderhead

O_o

Err... heh. ^_^;;

That's what I get for trying to translate into centuries. Yes. 6th century. Meh! She was uh, "mid-first milennium."

that's something at least.

General Ludd · October 15, 2003, 20:45

The other William is better looking, though.

History Guy · October 17, 2003, 14:06

Heh, right-o, Novaya.

Well, one would hope that they could at least change the description on poor old Billy...

Thanks.

Henry added.

Updated with Pachacuti's name from the new Gamespot profile.

raen1978 · October 19, 2003, 12:28

hummm I was hopping for henry like this, a very caracteristic foto of him:

ixnay · October 24, 2003, 22:57

All leaders have names now. Middle Ages Henry has been added as well.

And he's wearing what appears to be a sombrero, which has rocketed the Portugese into my favorite civ slot already.

raen1978 · October 25, 2003, 05:19

ahhh, it is better now, his hat is the best and unique

Ahar.

Fixed (to what I would guess is the correct setup at least).

People who have the game:

WE WANT SCREENSHOTS SO THIS CAN BE FILLED OUT!

Which console game features an even remotely detailed historical setting? And how many console gamers actually care if such exists?

hi ,

click the link below in sig for screenshots

have a great day

Novaya Havoc · November 6, 2003, 13:22

panang... your thread doesn't have any new screenshots of leaderheads. That's what we're looking for: all of the leaderheads *especially Austria!* through all of the ages.

Thanks,

ixnay · November 6, 2003, 18:29

VICTORY

All leaderheads posted, including the SUPERSECRET Austrian leaderhead of Charles.

Henry's Industrial age leaderhead has simply solidified my opinion that he's the greatest leader so far. He has a monocle, for crying out loud!

A MONOCLE!

Wernazuma III · November 6, 2003, 19:23

Where is it posted? I still don't see Charles?

Gobi Bear · November 6, 2003, 19:25

Make sure you refresh when you go back to Page 1. I had the same problem.

I just posted a little background information in the Austrian Leaderhead thread about how Charles V was selected. Take a look if you are curious about that.
