You know...is it just me, or does Ancient Joanie kinda have a Sarah McLachlan sort of look to her....

...ya know what I'm sayin'?

Oh, and someone recently described Catherine in some post somewhere as a highly evolved bulldog. I really have to agree with that description.

I was kickin the crap out of Caeser so I go to him with the usual our troops approachBLA BLA BLA. So he says " Fool! do you think we are afraid of your puny soldiers? Well as fate would have it we are. We accept.

POTENTIAL ridiculous leader:

All Hail, Bibendum, Ruler of the Kingdom of Michelin!

Alexander looks like he's gay, wearing makeup, and his hat in the medievil ages is ridiculous and his modern age spectacles are stupid. Catherine is covered with warts and facial distortations, and when you look at the screen with the circles of heads and all the different leaders, when Cathy is made it you she has the weirdest face ever.

I fell out of my chair laughing when I read the buzz lightyear caesar thing.

Edit: Someone said no one likes the Iroquois-they're my second favorite civ.

yeah, i really liked the buzz lightyear thing. reading all these is making me want to go dl every one of those leader heads. you guys are f'ing funny. i never put much thought into it, but the faces are pretty bad. and mao does look stoned when he smiles. im gonna go home and play right now just to see the faces. and alexander does look pretty gay/boyish

I went to China back in May and found officially distributed Civ3 in many stores. The Chinese version of Civ3 uses Li Shimin instead of Mao. I think the reason is not only Taiwanese won't buy it, but also mainland censors don't allow the 'great' chairman to be ridiculed.

Most funny leaders:

Modern Age Joan of Arc as femi-nazi, chemo-patient, GI-Joan, Sinead O'Arc, or whomever you want to call her.

Modern Age Hammurabi as Dr Evil.

Medieval Age Mao in renaissance hat.

Industrial Age Caesar in derby hat.

LOL

We should change his diplomacy dialogue. "Hello, A$, are you here to get back your Mojo?" (where A$ is the human player's name)

I think that Mao looks kinda funny in his Fur hat.

Smiling, he looks like he's on drugs or something.

Hmh... The looks of the leaders aren't nearly as ridiculous as the choices...

[yellfromhell]

If Elizabeth II was Civ3 english leader we could organize a bulldog fight against Catherine

As funny as...?

Hi,
For all the true believers (i.e. those who've been playing Civ 1 on) - do you guys get the feeling that the dialogue boxes and other conversations/text were more witty and amusing in Civ 1/2? Civ 3 has it's funny moments as well, but they don't seem to be as witty (perhaps sophisticated?) as the older ones. I seem to remember deriving a certain pleasure from saying things like,
"Consequences, Shmonsequences" to an angry Elizabeth. Or am I mistaken, lost in a nostalgic haze for the innocent pleasures of my now long-lost youth?

Incidentally, apparently Alexander was gay, as much as we can know these things. Check out a gay hero website for proof. The site also has a very inspirational piece on Joan of Arc, although she was not a lesbian herself.
