Quoted for TRUTH.

Aha, so my Caesar Augustus was already a seed in the Firaxian mind! Pericles and Darius would also be good (though Darius kind of wimped out)...

Arabia: Mohammad

This person should never be in a game. If OBL and his boys ever found out, they just might go after the studio that made the game.

Since we have Roosevelt. I wouldn've liked to see Churchill for the Brits, though they already got two leaders.

There are some controversies Firaxis won't touch. They include FDR and the Navy SEALS, but stop at having Panzers without including Hitler. Similarly, they will not include Mohammhed.

I'm surprised that the Sioux were not included. Civ II had them, after all.

Can you post the pictures? Or tell me how to find them?

Can we convince them that it's still made by Infogrames/Atari?

Well, Mohammad DID lead the Arabs for a time and profoundly changed their course through history.

That's not the point nye was making. The depiction of Mohammed's visage is considered a horrible sin in Islam. It's an offense that need not be made.

Fascinating, it should be interesting to see some of these guys in a future expansion.

Some of these guys would only ever make it in a "Player made expansion" for the reasons already pointed out. But, it would be an interesting twist, eh?

[monkspider]

I'm sure that we will see at least a few of these guys in the future. Pericles, Augustus, Darius, Menes, Meiji are all shoe-ins I would say.

What I find most interesting is that Firaxis would have included Sumeria and Sioux over Babylon and Iroquois. That really surprises me, and I can't say that I would necessarily agree with the choice.

How do you know he's been calling his Greek leader Pericles since Civ 1?

Pericles would have been excellent

Firaxis guys, if you are reading, put Pericles in for the next expansion

Yes, well, I'm not Muslim. It's a shame that they felt the needs to trim their sails to avoid offending knownothing supersitious religionists, still smarting over the Crusades, and Salman Rushdie.

I'm very interested in activating some of these alternate leaderheads, if there's a way to do this. Where are these files located???
