Revenge of the Leaders through the Ages compilation thread

Sorry, didn't notice your post on that.

The Ottomans should be replaced in name by the Turks, I think. The Ottomans (Osmanlis) were a dynasty of Turkish leaders.

[Andrew_Jay]

Yeah, perhaps the more general name of Turks could be better, seeing how they were Turks before the Ottoman empire, and are Turks afterwords. However . . . it was as the Ottomans that Turkey came to dominate and rule a HUGE part of Europe, Africa and Asia. Firaxis will probably want to focus on this period of Turkish history as the game deals with empire building, and this is exactly what the Turks were doing during this time when they were known as the Ottomans.

The Ottomans leader is Sultan Osman the leader pic you put in for the Arabs is actually him. http://almashriq.hiof.no/turkey/900/...ultans/01.html

Jackal:

I believe that you are correct. However, my question for you is this: How did you know that it was Osman, and not say Suleiman?

[JtheJackal]

The recent screenshots show one of the new leader units whos name is Sultan Osman of the Ottomans.

[Andrew_Jay]

Isn't it also quite likely that the unit in the new PtW screenshot is merely one of the Ottoman's/Turks great leaders? Not necessarily THE leader.

No offense, but the leader head could still be any Sultan IMHO.

The Vikings will probubly be Leaf Ericsons dad, i dunno his name! But he supposed to of been the best leader of the vikings!

[JtheJackal]

Andrew_Jay, maybe but he looks like Osman. Look at that mole.
And Erickson's dad is Erik the Red

[Gangerolf]

Erik the Red was more of an explorer than a leader, a better choice would be Canute or Harald Hardrule.

[Gangerolf]

Genghis gets my vote for ugliest leader, by the way.

[History Guy]

J-- Ah, OK. I did not see this.

Andrew-- That is impossible. You don't see great leaders. You just see the leader. Osman it is. Good choice.

As for Viking chief...there are several choices: Knud (Canute), Harald Bluetooth, Harald Hardrada, Rollo, Rurik, Erik Bloodaxe, Erik the Red, Radnar Lodbrok, Guthrum...

Now, better questions would be: Arab or Korean leaders! As for Koreans, I only know the guys in the Korean War, and the Kings Wang Kon and Sejong. I think Wang will probably be the guy, as he really made Korea united, way back in the 900s.

Arab leaders...can't be Muhammad. Could be someone like Harun al-Rashid or Abu-Bakr.

Ottoman leader name added. Holding off on moving the picture until we get more info about who is who.

Hey! Wait! Look closely at the image on this link:

http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3images/PTW_Movie/screen17.jpg

It seems to be a different pic of Genghis, one not on the Compilation! In fact, it looks to be the REAL Ancient Genghis. Look at the fury shirt, and the necklace, shoulders, etc. It's not the same pic as is shown for the Ancient Genghis on the Compilation. This must be the genuine Ancient Genghis!
