I agree. That's why I don't play Civ while my GF is over. Although, I _did_ have to introduce Civ to the "other woman, the one who has been taking so much of my time away from your pixilated goodness..." My GF got a good laugh...

I seriously don't see what the point was to try and "sex-up" the game. I play to conquer worlds, not to check out women. When I want to check out women, I go through my Ralph magazines (BTW Ralph is a men's lifestyle mag in Australia and New Zealand responsible for showing some of the hottest women you're ever likely to see. OK, OK, I already mentioned this in a previous thread, but I say it again nevertheless.)

But I guess that you can't deny this fundamental fact: Sex sells.

Ummm, I forget: Ralphs has nude women or no?

Are you one of those that just love combat boots, violence, etc.?

Hitler not only ruined millions of lifes of his 'enemies', but also brought misery and death to millions of his own citizens. The horrors committed by Hitler's regime are thought in schools around the globe, to prevent megalomanic, psychotic maniacs like him to gain power again.

And now you, Uberkrux, call him 'the best leader for Germany?'

best does not necessarily refer to morals. I would say he was the most influential, which may be the most important factor.

What Uberkrux was referring to is the erroneousness of the idea that a civ's leader should be based off the civ's UU, as somebody suggested that because France's UU was the Musketeer that King Louis should be the leader.

Uber was proving that statement wrong, not advocating Nazism.

So who is more popular in present-day France, Joan or Napoleon?

I think that would be the best criteria, present-day popularity.

Napoléon, hands down.

Jeanne d'Arc is known as a spiritual figure as much as an army leader. She's rather the "soul", some kind of medieval hero. Rather a romantic icon of the country revolting against oppressor, and restoring the crown to the rightful king.
Which was quite a coward and bastard, but well that is only historical fact, not as interesting as tales...

Napoléon is a political man, a military man, a leader of army, a creater of laws, structures, buildings, administration...

He fits the shoes of a civilization leader ten times better.

Louis XIV on the other hand, still is considered the builder of the modern France, as he erected the basis of the country, which was at its zenith in nearly every subject under his reign.

I don't know if you're familiar with European languages, but

'Uberkrux'

doesn't sound 'friendly' at all.

All right, then. Who do you think the leader of India should be?

By the way, this thread reminds me of a thread from long ago when everyone was drooling over that Foreign Advisor chick from Civ 2.

the hottest advisor of all time was the MoO2 elarian (I forget, the elfish ones) millitary advisor. I always played custom races, but used them as a background _just_ for her...

I never said Uberkrux was friendly. I simply was pointing out that you were taking his post somewhat out of context.

For those of us unfamillier with the launguages of the EU, please translate...

I think he is talking about the Uber, which might make him think of Ubermensch, like the Nazi idea of a superior man ... however I think Uber is becoming more and more used in slang to just mean ultimate.

No idea about the krux, I just figured he made it up.

To me, uber will always be the red faced avatar guy with the quote "Civ is coming out on October 17 or Firaxis is getting torched". Ah, memories ...

IMO UberKrux refers to fascist ideologies, it certainly seems very political incorrect. Normally don't mind, but there are exceptions. Calling Hitler best leader for the Germans proves what I thought long ago: just another neo nazi around, like the kid in Erfurt probably was.

I could be mistaken about Uberkrux though, I hope so.

Maybe if Corsica could be adapted as a game-civ, then Nappy could be used to lead that instead?

[Spook42]

BTW, it's as LordAzreal mentioned earlier. Cyber-image women don't hold a candle to real ones. Otherwise, it could be argued that pixalated men are better than real men, and then ALL of us male gamers would be out in the cold.

But as far as comparing the "hot" women leaders of Civ3 to others generated on computer, they're not even fifth-string. The attached would be moving in the right direction for a mesmerizing leader (though perhaps better for MOO or SMAC. Remember the Elerians?).
