What's the deal with Uncle Fester !?!?

[Andy]

I could not believe my eyes when I first saw Joan in the modern age. She looked so cute in the industrial age in her blue uniform. What a disapointment in the modern age. Why couldn't they have put her in a cute little white navy suit or something.

Haha, I agree about Joan D'arc though.

Who didn't want Napoleon to be the leader of the French? Wouldn't negotiating with the little fella be more fun?

Having 1:1 male female ratio's is just good marketing sense.

Charlemagne, Louis the XVII.

Either one. But I'm into that era of history more, so that's just me.

It's all good. Civ is about what ifs. Obviously the Zulu were not meant to dominate the world, but what if they did? What if history was different? Joan had as much potential as anyone.

[Easy Rhino]

bah!

I WANT JOE STALIN!

Also, come to think of it, Napoleon would kind of kick butt too. But, whenever you see him in the negotiation screen, he's too short so he's just peering over the bottom of the window

If you guys missed it, the bald Joan D'Arc is a reference to GI Jane.

[DanS]

Homage. Fromage.

Andy: Catherine is a dog, though! They should have had her in leather in the modern age.

Bill: good stuff. Stick around. I agree with the PC stuff, but I don't think this stuff needs to follow such a strict non-PC, historic course. I mean, wives have to like this game for something.

[Baloo]

Joan is still the most feminine and eye pleasing of them all .

Well, let's put in the Scots & give them their choice of leaders:

Sean Connery
William Wallace (as portrayed by Mel Gibson)

Yes, especially if all you could see was the top of his head and the big hat.

Good marketing sense was Civ II's option to have the leader be of either sex.

But besides that, is there really an equal number of men and women playing any computer game, let alone Civ III? The only people they would have offended by dropping some of the female leaders is people who are already hypersensitive over it.

It's not good marketing sense to ship with only half the leader gaphics done, though.

[Blunderdog]

Who cares whether Joan is historically correct (or significant)? At least there's one leader who is pleasant to look at. Lincoln scares me.

[dexters]

He looks like an Amish dude :-P

But I like Americans all the way

[Andreiguy]

well...

I WANT JOE STALIN!

Sorry to break this comic thread, but I'd just like to make a comment on the above, being Russian after all...

Making Stalin the leader of Russia would be like making Hitler the leader of Germany...historically accurate, but it makes dealing with that civ unpleasant and sort of ruins that civilization. Stalin killed over twenty million innocent Russians because of his paranoia (this is in one of the darker corners of history) and let twenty million more die in WWII...

...just a comment !

Also, for whoever who said Catherine is a bad leader...she was actually probably the second-greatest after Peter the Great, and the best female choice ...
