Just to be clear, this picture is of Stadhouder Willem I (Stadtholder William I), also known as Willem de Zwijger (William the Silent). So it's not William III (who was stadtholder of the Netherlands as well as king of England) or King William I, who became king of the "United Netherlands" (Netherlands+Belgium+Luxemburg) in 1815 after the final defeat of Napoleon.
(in C3C it was abit unclear, because the Dutch leader was referred to as "King William", but William I of Orange never held the title of King)

ripple01 May 24, 2007, 07:02 AM Does anyone think that the Oranje leaderhead looks somewhat like a modern pic of Bob Dylan?

Now you mention it! :lol:
Comrade Aart May 24, 2007, 11:33 AM It looks indeed more like Bob Dylan than Willem van Oranje. Probably because it doesn't look like Willem van Oranje at all. :)
TobyWanKenobi May 24, 2007, 12:06 PM Why'd they change Willem's eyes from blue to brown?

Maybe because his eyes were brown?
Better picture:

EDIT: I do admit the mustache is a bit too long, his hair too dark and his face too skinny. William had a beard, not a mustache and brown, not black hair. Also he became slightly bloated when he aged not skinnier. That said it's just an artist's interpretation and overall it's pretty well done.

If it was Bob Dylan, what would his intro line be ?
A hard rains gonna fall...
You gotta serve somebody...
Next lame joke ,
Just to be clear, this picture is of Stadhouder Willem I (Stadtholder William I), also known as Willem de Zwijger (William the Silent).
If he's William the Silent we may have a new 'refuses to speak' time , like 30 turns

:D :band: :lol:
Hmm... What would his traits be? Creative/Charsimatic? UU: Folksinger (replaces Great Artist) UB: Newport Festival Stage (replaces theatre)?
dutchking May 29, 2007, 06:49 PM It is a cartoon, so it won't look exactly like what the real people look like.
Onagan May 30, 2007, 03:17 AM But Willem is one of the most worst in the game.
