When it comes to leaders of the civs, then I want the ones with big historical impact, and not some malplaced political correct lady. No offence.

hi ,

"equal oppurtunity" , .........the woman want a job also , ...

beware of their rage , .....

have a nice day

Just so it's clear: I have nothing against women as leaders, I think it's important, but in history games like Civ, we have to use the most important persons!

I love women!

hi ,

yes and no , how does one "define" an important person to represent a nation , ..........

have a nice day

[Nikolai]

That's a good question! I don't thnik I'm the right person to answer that, but at least the person must have been in charge of the nation one time. Not many women have been that, unfortunate IMO.

lets ask for vote's then , 4 out of 5 wins , ....

Well, then I ask:

What is important when picking leaders to the civs?
Is it the fact that they have ruled the country,
that they have had huge importance for the country, no matter if they've ruled or not, or what?

some comments to the last screenshot:

During the Viking age, Trondheim was known as Nidaros, Bergen as Bjoergvin and Copenhagen didn't even exist.
Either the Vikings should be called Scandinavians or Norsemen or Nordic or whatever, or the city names should be changed.

[Jon Shafer]

People most likely want names they can relate to. I'm sure most people have heard of Trondheim, Stavanger, Bergen, Narvik, Tromso, etc.

I don't think most people have heard of Isandhlwana, Tlacopan or Shuruppak. They're in the game..

It seems to me that Firaxis has just taken a heap of present-day Scandinavian cities and labeled them "Vikings". It's easy, but not necessarily correct.

[Deathwalker]

Napoleon should have been leader of the French. It should not be about male of female leaders. It should be about people who reaaly lead the country and did a good job.
Also does anyone know when the next patch is comming out?

[Radiation Zero]

I don't even think it comes down to who led the civ, I just think it matters who the most influential ones were.

Yes, Joan of Arc was a great General who beat back the English and who claimed to hear messenges from God, but Napoleon was a great General who ended up Emperor of France and carved out one of the most famous Empires in history.

Same with Russia. Sure Catherine was a good leader, and sure the Soviets weren't PC. But at its height, the Soviet Union was HUGE and basically the second most powerful nation in the world at the time, and not by too much.

Ancd yes, there's the editor. But the editor IMO is still pretty weak. I guess most of the problems lie in the way the engine is hard-coded, but still..
I hope the expansion gives the editor more punch.

The editor will get more punch in the next patch, this according to the last chats, both here and at CFC, as well as interviews and other E3 stuff.
