Parker Walker
I really don't care about this game man, first now it looks like a fucking kids game with the style with their going the leaders instead of being portrayed like in civ 5 and earlier now the look like a cartoons. I would have bought new civ5 dlc instead of whatever they're releasing now
Carter Parker
I'm fairly certain the leak may be fake, or at least partially wrong. I remember another list that was this verbatim, except it had Toyotomi Hideyoshi instead of Hojo Tokimune.
Tyler Thomas
Bit boring tbqh
Adrian Stewart
Found the old image I had saved. It mentions Hideyoshi and Elizabeth instead of Victoria, which has since been revealed.
Ryder Jenkins
>Arabian - Saladin But he's Kurdish.
Grayson Lewis
This. With modding civ 5 is already great. Would have bought a new big scenario tech leader mod dlc.
Luke Roberts
any good civ 5 mods?
Ian Phillips
Isn't it Hojo Tokimune?
I like the choice for Spain.
Germany should be Charlemagne.
Landon Green
>Germany Charlemagne He is the king of the Frankish Empire not Germany he did for the HRE but that still doesn't make him eligible to be the leader representing Germany that title should always go to Bismarck.
Jacob Diaz
I like all the effects and bonuses except for the lame chariot archer. Considering nearly everything is related to the Ptolemaic empire they could have gone with a pike phalanx or african elephants.
Joseph Barnes
I don't like them giving the title of German leader to "Friedrich the great". I don't think he is worthy it. Otto the >great would be better in my opinion.
Ryan Miller
>Russian - Catherine Again? Christ. Are these legit leaked? I'm hoping this isn't true.
Jaxon Davis
>Polish - Mieszko I so many choices and they go with a guy we know barely anything about? shame
Ethan Ross
>Brazil - Pedro II Don't get me wrong, I love Pedro, but I hate repeats. Why not Vargas? It would've been spicy. Granted, there is no better Brazilian leader than Pedro II.
Regardless, I'm definitely not getting this game. Looks cartoonish as fuck, total shit.
Charles Bailey
>a kurd is the leader of the Arabs

Cherry picked wiki battle graphs in 5, 4, 3, 2 1...
Adrian Turner
>India: Gandhi
What the fuck that makes me angry that they keep going with him every time when there are so many other interesting people in India's history that actually ruled it like Ashoka etc. Im not even Indian but its retarded. Also will they please pick an Egyptian leader other then fucking cleopatra. FUCK
Hunter Cooper
>Considering nearly everything is related to the Ptolemaic empire
Only Cleo's ability. The other three unique elements are either general egyptian or far more ancient.
Ethan Rodriguez
It's literally a meme. Think they are only doing it because an early bug which would make him start global nuclear mass extinction quite frequently.
Andrew Richardson
game will be shit anyway. who cares
Alexander Brown
If they're switching up most of the leaders from the last game anyways, why not replace Napoleon with Louis XIV?
Robert Ramirez
Why do they hate historical accuracy so much?
"Arabian"? Not "Ayyubid" or "Ummayad"?
To make it worse, Saladin isn't even Arabian to begin with.
"Celtic" rather than, say, Picts
"Cleopatra"? In all of Egypts history they took the Greek one? Why not Hatshepsut? Akhenaten? Narmer?
Gandhi should be expected tho. Not that it's great but it should be expected.
And ofcourse, Alexander as Macedonian not Greek.
Not to begin with the ugly graphics/art style
ffs
Caleb Rodriguez
Saladin only did really relevant things while leading Arabs.
Colton Lee
>1UPT
Pass.
Jeremiah Robinson
But he didn't lead "Arabs", he led the Fatimid and later the Ayyubid sultanates.
Many inhabitants were not Arab.
And why him? If you want to have an "Arabian" state why not go with, say, Al-Muaiwy I? Abd-Rahman III?
At least anyone that's actually Arabian, or just change the name of the nation.
Jayden Sanchez
>no dutch or portuguese Wtf is this shit
Leo Campbell

Colton Morris

Shit roster.
Easton Johnson
None of those countries matter
Hunter Foster
>Belgium >Special ability: 50% more damage against Civ in an era inferior to yours
Oliver White
Canadian here, you're absolutely right.
But you gotta admit, playing as Belgium and becoming THE world super power would be pretty sweet.
Kayden Barnes
There's Victoria II for that
Christian Roberts
quite triggered m8
Hunter Jenkins
Colonial Belgium owned more land, and more people, and more resources, than Germany ever did.
Jordan Cook
>China >not yun sat Sen
>ENGLAND >Victoria
>Arabia >Saladin?
I like Persia being Cyrus instead of darius
Oliver Richardson
And Cleopatra isn't Egyptian, so what?
Nathaniel Russell
Yeah and look how influential they are thanks to it :^)
Kayden Cooper
Literally king of the EU, and soon to be capital of the European Superstate. You won't be so snappy when stormtroopers wearing the Belg... European Flag flag land in London to announce the #brentry.
Jace Hill
>Fredrick the Great OF PRUSSIA >Leader of Germany REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Tyler Martinez
>having shit taste
There's not a single interesting nation in that list, I mean what the fuck how is that possible?
Blake Clark
Poland (Prussia) created Germany.
Zachary Diaz
WHERE ARE THE BYZANTINES
Austin Jones
In between the Mongols and the Persians
Adam Powell
No they created the duchy of Prussia out of the Teutons ashes. The kingdom of Prussia was created after Brandenburg and Prussia fell under the same ruler
Thomas Jones
>tfw no Felipe II I mean I like Isabel,she is great,but I would like some variety
Ian Scott
delet this
Joshua Cook
>"Cleopatra"? In all of Egypts history they took the Greek one? Why not Hatshepsut? Akhenaten? Narmer? Yes, and? She ruled Egypt. She was quite the historical character. They already stated that they chose leaders based on personality more than anything else.
Nathan Smith
I would like Philip II too. Even if we probably will get a full black legend Philip I would be okay with it as long as he's portrayed cool.
Daniel Jones
I would be ok with an evilish autostic Phillip,even if it is not historically accuerate.
Dominic Stewart
Well, he was not evil but he was a bit autistic. I mean, a spaniard who loves to work? It had to be autism.
Levi Nguyen
Looks like the Arabs got KURDED. Saged because shit game, though.
Levi Moore
...
David Hill
Then why not Alexander or Augustus? They ruled Egypt aswel.
Kayden Gomez
>Museums >Redcoats This feels so fucking lazy. Museums were not exclusively British, and redcoats were rank and file infantry of mediocre quality.
Longbowmen and some trade oriented UA would make much more sense. But judging by the art style they want to take the series in a more casual direction so redcoats because le redcoats are coming lol.
Wyatt Sullivan
>With modding civ 5 is already great
Wrong, global happiness and one-tile-per-unit = unplayable garbage.
Colton Sanders
>Museums were not exclusively British,
True but the Brits more or less invented archeology and to this day their museums are stuffed with treasures from around teh world, so it kind of fits.
>redcoats were rank and file infantry of mediocre quality.
Not really true, they were high quality professional troops in an era of conscripts. Plus, Firaxis is an American company and to the Americans, "Redcoat" is a synonym for "Brit" even to this day,so it's inevitable they would pick them as he UU.
Charles Miller
>True but the Brits more or less invented archeology and to this day their museums are stuffed with treasures from around teh world, so it kind of fits. Still lazy. You could give France the exact same bonus and use Napoleon's art treasure hunts throughout Italy and Egypt as an excuse, and I'm pretty sure you can spin it around one way or another to make it applicable to Germany and a few other countries as well.
>Not really true, they were high quality professional troops in an era of conscripts. What do you base it on? Conscription wasn't even a thing until the Napoleonic wars, and by that time the redcoats had been around for a century or two.
>Plus, Firaxis is an American company and to the Americans, "Redcoat" is a synonym for "Brit" I guess that can't be helped. That's also why we have """""president""""" Ghandi instead of Ashoka the Great.
Kevin Ross
>Still lazy.
They clearly wanted a civ to have a bonus on museums, and there is no better candidate than Britain. Really the Brits should have some kind of improved factory building, maybe one available earlier, but that would probably be too powerful and would lead to Britain conquering the whole world.... Can't have too much history in a civ game!
> Conscription wasn't even a thing until the Napoleonic wars
Mass conscription, sure.
Chase Scott
>> Conscription wasn't even a thing until the Napoleonic wars >Mass conscription, sure.
Armies since ancient times were made up of a small cadre of full-time warriors plus a whole bunch of part-timers, often peasants hoping to make a fortune or simply pressganged into service. Professionalism is quite a late meme, despite the example of the Romans, and even Britain only adopted it during the Civil War (Cromwell's New Model Army).

Victoria is cute! CUTE!
Angel Rogers
Vicky was a famous beauty in her youth. She lived so long we all think of her as an old woman, but she was a 10/10 young royal, would found dynasty in.
Jack Edwards
>Teddy Roosevelt Good enough choice >Saladin I support this choice >Montezuma, Pedro Don't know enough to really say >Grace 1) If they make her the leader have her actual Gaelic name, that name just ruins the feeling and 2) There are better choices, such as Llewelyn Fawr >Qin Shi Huang Good enough for civ >Ragnar Lodbrok Stop obsessing over some wanderer who may or may not have even existed and recognize some decent Danish leaders such as Cnut or Valdemar >Victoria Don't know enough >Cleopatra Please Firaxis, read a book and choose a different leader. if it must be female, Hatshepsut. You did that right in Civ4. >Napoleon, Frederick the Great, Bolivar, Alexander I support these choices (but I think most of these civs could stand alternate leaders) >Hojo, Mansa Musa Don't know enough >Genghis Khan, Suleiman Good enough I guess >Cyrus Good choice. >Mieszko Don't know enough >Caesar Would prefer someone else but compared to some on here decent. >Catherine As good as we'll get from Firaxis, but I would like Ivan the Terrible >Rest Don't know enough
Caleb James
They're all irrelevant.
Nathaniel Cook
Gandhi is civilization's mascot. The only way to have indian leaders that aren't Gandhi in this series is to have several leaders for each civilization.
Joshua Perry
Literally the only thing that justifies Ghandi is his popularity though. It's on par with having Kim Kardashian represent America, only slightly less retarded.
Brody Young
They became "high quality professional troops" in the 19th century before that they were quite literally the "scum of the earth"
Jeremiah Ramirez
Enjoy that hemophilia
Elijah Bennett
Norway: Harald Hairfair or Olaf the Holy Not that it's ever going to happen, us being lumped in with Denmark what with city names and unique units in what is basically an insult. But what can one do, it's not exactly a eurocentric game by an account.
Henry Foster
If perhaps your nation didn't constantly get cucked by sweden and denmark then it would be on the list.
Isaiah Stewart
I am Norwegian and I found it funny
Samuel Johnson
But the real question is: >Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England?

Or, you know, the other guy.

This had better be bullshit. I don't see Korea on that list.
Jaxson Robinson

John Martin
why no Assyria, Sumer or Babylon? I expected to be disappointed with No Hittites, but I expect 1 mesopotamian civilization at least.
Henry Allen
America better not be an underpowered civ again
Charles Murphy
Which makes me think it's absolute garbage, or a list of an older version/ideas. Babylon has been in nearly every single version besides maybe one I believe. I don't see why they'd leave it out now.
Thomas Adams
Actually Egypt was never referred to as Egypt until it became colonized by Greeks. Egypt is a Greek word. The only reason it persists today is because Latin barbarians can't into history.
Owen Bailey
DLC you niggers, same as last time.
Jaxson Watson
