Leader traits/characteristics

[couerdelion]

Just a bit of fun really and perhaps this is the wrong forum. I was just amusing myself with some ideas of how we might describe the Civ4 leaders to someone who doesn't know them.

So to kick the whole thing off I will start with

Kublai Khan (Aggressive+Creative)

A ruthless leader constantly waging war against his enemies. At home he is a different person and his throne room is surrounded with the tastefully adorned heads of his former adversaries

It doesn't have to be a description though. Could be a motto, or "what they might say"

Personal ad for:

Alexander (Aggressive + Philosophical)

Great warrior, vanquisher of enemies, conqueror of empires, seeks companionship (of any gender) for quiet contemplation and philosophical discussion, and maybe more..?

Let's keep this going then here's another

Victoria - Expansive/Financial

We like to spread the influence of British civilisation to the far reaches of the world. Well at least we want to spread to those profitable places.

Elisabeth - Philosophical/Financial

"I rather think I like money."

Isabelle - Spiritual/Expansive

"What do you mean we are short of food resources? How can the people care when they have Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Confucianism, Taoism, Christianity, Islam (select up to 4 of your choice)."

Kublai Khan (Aggressive+Creative)

A leader of the mighty mongol horde. He is constintaly trying to instruct his horde of different and . . . unusual ways of subduing the people that stand in his way.

washington: "i really like to count my money... first i separate the paper money and the coins, then the paper into denominations and the coins by size, then by color and finally by the minting date, then i have developed quite a system of separating the paper money by serial numbers and the middle initial of the secretary of treasury and as for the coins..."

huayna capac: "i really like counting my neighbors money."

Hmmm - Kublai Khan in my current game is actually quite peacefull - it's 1400AD now and he only had one war, when the Inkas attacked him. He shares borders with me and our relations are pretty bad and my military has always been quite weak also - but yet he never attacked me (or anyone else).

Hatshepsut: "Everybody's got the right to be happy; don't get mad, life's not as bad as it seems..."

Mansa Musa: "You lot fight over this planet. I'm off to settle another one."

[LordShiva]

Ashoka: "My elephants may be slow, but my workers aren't!"

[JackRudd]

Cyrus: "My cities are considerably bigger than yours."
