Leaderheads versus Wonder Movies

[Skanky Burns]

I was wondering what the general community though of this. Assuming that we could have moving leaderheads and the wonder movies we have in the game or static leaderheads and Civ2-style wonder movies, which would you prefer?

Currently, the wonder movies are rather simple. Quite nice, but if you have seen 5 then you have seen them all. I would much prefer that the wonder movies be much more involving, even if it meant graphical resources from elsewhere would have to be cut down.

What we have now. The first one...

Option 1, the wonder movies in Civ2 were good, but people remember the wonder movies of Civ2 as being *much* better than they actually were.

Internet wonder movie is pretty nice, too bad it comes too late to be worth building.

Honestly the animated leaderheads have never appealed to me. They have a tendecy to annoy me with odd looks and look completely insane at times. I'd be happier with static Firaxian portrait-style renditions of great leaders that are actually based as much on fact as possible. I don't really care about wonder movies either though so I guess i'm in the minority.

i have to see leaderheads more often, so them.

I actually kinda like the new wonder movies...showing the structure being built.

However, I do remember the civ2 movies being pretty cool.

What LordShiva said -moving leaderheads and civ2 movies!

However, I did vote for number one -- I like the moving leaderheads. Although that Inca dude is downright scary!

The animations and quality of leaderheads are really good in Civ4. They seems extremely realistic, it looks like motion capture almost. Ceasar's thumbs up/thumbs down (its almost historically correct) and others (like Mansu Masa adjusting his crown if hes friendly) really add some flavor to this game. Alexander is funny, the way he drags his hand down his face when he is annoyed.

Plus I like to look at Isabella's cleavage.

I voted bananas because I refuse to make the either-or choice. I want it all. If it takes extra artwork effort and multiple CD's to ship it all, so what? I deserve the extra effort. Just don't raise the price on me.

Moving leader heads and Civ IV style wonder movies - which aren't that bad, really.

Actually I would prefer moving leader heads and SMAC wonder videos..
