Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
The German leader, Bismarck, has some great lines. He talks about you playing a joke on him when your offer in trade is insufficient; threatens you with dire cinsequences if you don't pay him tribute (even when you have more soldiers in his territory than he has citizens left; and remarks about reasonable people rising above the rough world while he breaks treaties and sneak attacks everyone near him. As to looks, Shaka's look reflect a very negative stereotype in medieval and industrial times, and Cleo does indeed look like Bo Peep. I also like "Saint" Joan, a cute way to handle her legend. Obviously, the FirAxis people had fun with this.

Yeah but Joan in the Modern Era looks like a femi-nazi
This is why France has to go in my games at the end of industrial age by a tank or panzer rush. She looks lovely in the first 3 ages, but I don't want to see her in the modern era.
I know nobody likes the Iriquois in Civ3 - but ancient Hiawatha reminds me to the days I played Colonization. It's nice to see the same Iriquois leader back.
hey, you gotta admit caesars sneer is vicious. when abe smiles he looks like he's sucking on a lemon quarter or something else extremely sour (like bi-partisan politics or the bastardization of the GOP ). queen elizabeth looks like a snotty old bit ch, alexander looks too pale to be Greek (he looks like that british actor in I Claudius actually), Tokugawa is hideous, Mao looks like a weasel (not the animal, but a politician), Bismarck looks too old, Shaka has Jay Leno's chin, montezuma looks like that mexican fellow on the tonight show, Cleopatra reminds me of a short tempered grade school teacher, Xerxes and Hammurabi look very accurate, cept in modern times, Hammurabi resembles a hippie (i see a fun mod set in the 1960s with this). Hiawatha is basically caesar with an american indian face, joan d'arc...pitiful, pitiful, I prefer to stare at DeGaulle's huge schnoz than her ugly bald head, and catherine the great is a cow. I think that's all of them. Caesar looks by far the most ruthless which is why I like playing as the romans.
are you sure? hammurabi looks like he'll rip your face off when he's mad. ugh.. has anyone noticed that queen elizabeth does not smile? she just opens her eyes wide and stares at you. i'd post the picture but you can't attach .pcx files here.
yeah, hammurabi looks a ***** menacing when he's pissed, but then his dread locks just make him look like he's having a bad trip
Caesars sneer can go perfectly in a pinstripe suit with a tommygun at his hip though you know what I mean?
as for queen elizabeth, she's an uppity *****!
Does anyone think that Cathy the Great looks like a maid from Clue or something?
For the cities which were formerly great, have most of them become insignificant; and such as are at present powerful, were weak in the olden time.
