Leaders through the Ages III: Back with a vengeance!

[ixnay]

Yes, in what seems to be an annual thing now, this thread will contain a compilation of all the leader graphics for the 8 new civs in Conquests. Not much at first here, but as new info is released, I'll add it.

Second batch of 3 civs.

Great to see it back and kicking ixnay. It is very appreciated.

How about adding UU pics too?

cheers

w00t! Just in case you didn't notice Ixy, there is a chance that they got the two leaders mixed up, so be prepared to switch them if the need presents itself. Checkout the the "heads up" thread for more details.

I could be wrong, but I think that the picture marked Gilgamesh, if it is Gilgamesh, is actually Medieval and not Ancient. Ancient Sumerians dressed nothing like that. Medieval Baghdad was full of such clothing styles.

And is it just me, or does Gilgamesh have Hannibal's sea bit behind him? If so, it might be someone else entirely!

Glad to see the leaderheads through the ages back and kicking !
So, Firaxis wants to inlude the Hittites ? Along with the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians and the possible Hebrews, it sure has potential to make an excellent 'Cradle of Civ' scenario !

They mentioned that the game will come with a "Battle for Mesopotamia" Scenario

[History Guy]

Spiffor, yeah, they should include the Israelites if they want to sell their expansion pack to this History Guy...

Ok, after looking at it some more, the pic of "Gilgamesh" does indeed look like it would fit in the middle-ages more than the ancient, so I have moved it there.

[History Guy]

Thanks.

[Elden]

Gilgamesh should be in Ancient (his background is the same as Hannibal's ancient background).

Also Mursilis is the spelling not Mursalis.

[History Guy]

Elden,

You're right about Mursilis, but I don't think so where Gilgamesh is concerned. How many ancient Sumerians ran around dressed like that? It's too medieval. Besides, that isn't the same background.

[kring]

Thank you, I was wondering when it would show up.

[Boris Godunov]

Are Hittites confirmed?

I know Incas and Sumerians are...Although I don't like having the Sumerians in, as it seems redundant with the Babylonians. They could have at least picked an actual Sumerian leader, like Sargon.

[Louis XXIV]

The Hittite leader Mersilis is in that picture
So that means the Hittites are in
