  • Best leader for ALL the civs?

    This is probably going to get flamed like some jap-cave from Iwojima so im going to sit back and watch it burn .

    Best leader for all the civilizations goes to one nation!
    You guessed it!

    the AMERICANS!!!

    They invented the *modern* computer as we know it today, they came up with Civilization as we know it(the game) and they ultimately get to decide who is the leader of one civ or another in their game...

    SO, my question is: If all the leaders in the next patch became some famous american, would you still play the game(and not mod it to hell to change the portraits)?


    *Feel free to spam/flame all you want, im just trying to spark some international conversation.

    Another brilliant Idea from the think tank. Sure, why don't ya both come up. We'll put the prisioner on the honor system, have 'er guard 'erself.

    I wouldn't play it because it is stupid. Just like I wouldn't play it if all leaders were made to be famous people from other nations.

    Kaiser Wilhelm Leader of the Iroquis, Frederick as leader of the Zulus, Adolf Hitler as leader of the Americans. It's just stupid.

    So my answer is no.
    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

      Congratulations!

      Stupidest idea yet. Plus, the British invented the computer.

        How was Konrad Zuse related to Britain?

            Yes. Z3 by Konrad Zuse.

            To be fair, Turing and Zuse were working at around the same time (namely around WII), so it should be a close one. I'm not surprised by that victor's claim though

              The inventor is neither of those. "Colossus" was built by the Brits in 1943 to aid in decoding German war transmissions. The existence of Colossus was not public knowledge until the early 1970s as it was restricted information. This lead to the false claim that ENIAC (1946) was the world's first electronic computer.

              The inventor was a little-known postal worker.

                              I can only agree with Sagacious Dolphin.
                              A game like that would be stupid.

                              What if instead of the other leader we choose leaders of Ancient Egypt, Rome, Germany, England, etc... .

                              I can not see Pharaoh Ramses of the Americans as well as I can not see President Roosvelt of the Egyptians.... IT'S STUPID.
