Do the guys at Firaxis hate the Mongols?

[notyoueither]

Scholars who have studied? That portrait was a product of the people who governed China and needed to legitimise themselves.

Is the Khan according to Firaxis ugly? Yes. So to is Kathy. Abe looks like he's stoned. Alex... I don't want to mention what I think is behind Alex's expressions.

The artists of the designers have taken certain liberties, yes. However, it is impossible for them to depict any of the pre modern leaders 'accurately'.

Genghis doesn't have to look like in the portrait, which of course, isn't "accurate" either. However, Genghis was surely no teethless idiot. I mean, he looks like a "village idiot". It's even OK to have him ridiculed a bit, as are other leaders too.
But I think it's really offensive and stupid and will surely replace this graphics instantly to the animated Genghis leaderhead which has already been done by someone.

I don't think it's offensive to Genghis ( after all, he IS dead for a very long time ) but It's , simply disgusting to look at !

for some reason, the attachment didn't pass through at the first time, so I'll try it again.

Carver-- That image is, I'm sorry to say, propaganda. The Great Khan couldn't have looked like that in the least...for one thing, he looks too fat to ride a horse...

hmm... all I can say is getting him a bloody f@#$ing better suit... and get him a plastic surgery by the time of the modern era... I mean there are people called dentists too....

People want a more accurate genghis and this is where they get sent?

I know that in reality Gengis was no "conqueror", he was just a big continental "looter" or "plunderer", but I dont want the leaderface in Civ3 to be sooooo accurrate that his nose has dry blood hanging from it. Make some changes, just make it look like a Mongol general that never fought with his own hands and took a bath once per day.

What's wrong with Farb's Ghenghis? I think he's deamy!

Anyways, I didn't say he's more accurate, I just said he's better looking.
