After looking at the animated Abe Lincoln leader head, I'm glad to see that not all leaders are human! We really did need a monkey leader, and I think they did a bang-up job with Lincoln!

Holy crap is Abe ugly.

Lol. It is Gilgamesh that make me think of a monkey leader.
Suryavarman II looks otherworldly and Boudica looks stoned out of her mind.

Hah! Funny.

I thought that was Lincoln.

We have lots of minorities now:
Drug-addicts: Boudica
Homosexuals: Joao
Lions: Gilgamesh
"Abes": Abe
Transsexuals: Surjavayarman

Ease up on your views.

It's for the sake of PC.

Hah! Funnier and funnier.

When's the Mac version out?

Did we really need another spam thread?

Perhaps they were going for a "Planet of the Apes" theme in this expansion :D.

Did we really need another spam thread?Hmmm I think this is a proper enough discussion thread to justify its presence. Albeit a lighthearted purpose but a purpose all the same. I think the only thing that can be considered spam here is your post. :p

Drug-addicts: Boudica
Uh, I have a feeling a majority of Americans are drug addicts, between coffee, nicotine, alcohol, 'scripts, etc.

Lions: Gilgamesh
"Abes": Abe

LMAO!!!!!!!

*Eagerly awaits the "Planet of the Abes" mod*

Edit: And while I'm at it, I think that Danielle from the "porn" banner ads looks like a monkey. And no, I don't think Taylor looks like a nerd, I think she looks like that bloke from Outcast. Honestly, if you are going to have these types of ads, at least make the wimmin attractive.

Guys-with-women's-names: Zara Yacob
Gilgamesh-wannabees: Hammurabi
French guys: De Gaulle

More spam and this will be closed. Either talk about the topic or say good bye.

He looks perfectly normal to me.

Haha lol :D

Abe's not an Ape IMO... I think alot of the new leaderheads are pretty cool. Gilgamesh roxx!!

Lol, out of all of them, you choose Abe as the strange looking one??

Gilgamesh looks more like a monkey than Abe. To tell you the truth, my first impression of Gilgamesh was something like a Lion / mutant sort of Catman, like you see in Fantasy games.

... and the Khmer leader, Suyvawatchamacallit, looks the most inhuman. What's the deal with him? He looks like some sort of alien creature.

a few are okay, like Hammurabi, but most look like "freaks", though not necessarily in a bad way... its more amusing than scary, really. it does help with the realism somewhat, yet at the same time it draws away from it...


as i said elsewhere...


Welcome, laides and germs, children of all ages! Itssssssssssssssssssss... SID MEIER'S CIRCUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (play cheesy music)

This thread is hilarious. After weeks and weeks of complaints and bickering, this thread breaths life into the forums, even if it is a bit off topic. And yes, Gilgamesh definitely looks like a lion... probably going for Narnia crowd.

Well, Gilgamesh IS often depicted with a lion suit most of the time, isn't he?

Though NOT any of the Civ leaderheads had him like this. I did expect Gilgamesh, but with his trademark lion mask.

darius looks realy bad.. just plain freaky, gilglamesh is some kinda lion planit of the apes thing.

If you didn't notice, the actual Lincoln, was ugly.

If they have no leaderheads in Civ5 I will not mind (but I'm pretty sure they will).

the Lincoln pic they released in the very beginning looked much better than the one now... but thats okay...

Gilgamesh is a Klingon! Kplaahg!

:lol:

Really? I like the leader heads. Sure, some are unpleasent (Lincoln) and some are just down right creepy (Khmer's leader), but it does add a lot of personality to the game. Come on, could you really be happy without Monty's furious smile? I didn't think so.

I absolutely agree.
I swear I couldn't stand up from my bed in the morning if it weren't for the sheer pleasure of playing against Montezuma and annoying him with not accepting his threats and seeing the look on his face. It's so lovely :)

Abe Lincoln's movements and expressions on the official site seemed weird. He also doesn't look like the first stills they put out.

Lincoln looks like a cross between Christopher Lloyd and Jerry Lewis.

:lol:
This thread is awesome! I decided to rate it five stars!.. because it's, like someone said; a fresh breath to civfanatics :D
So many of the comments are just hilarious!

:rotfl: :rotfl:


I couldn't have put it better myself!

LOFL

I agree with those who say this thread is like a breath of fresh air. I like the leaderheads but I'm
enjoying the roasting of them as well. Its nice having a fun and lighthearted discussion of BtS.

I'll show you what I mean...

#2: "Uh, actually, uh, Miss Purdy... Well, don't just do something, sit there!"

#3: "What... does... a... yellow... light... mean?!"

:O Copy right infringment?

the first pic of him looks much more glorious and dignified... :D

(i mean the concept art in the first screenies)

:lol:
I love this thread :D
It is a fresh breath from the serious HRE sucks / Poland saved the world / Native Americans suck threads.

Suryavaram looks like he's got hepatitis so sick people are represented too. :sad:

Well, Lincoln wasn't exactly good-looking... Remember his "If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?" phrase.

Suryavaram looks like he's got hepatitis so sick people are represented too. :sad:

Ya, I'm not sure what to think about him. I don't know if he looks unhuman, sick, or somekind of human-cabbage hybrid. I'm a little terrified of what his friendly and furious facial expressions will be... :cry:
