Leader ideas

[oPunchDrunko]

Does anybody remember how the civ leaders in Civ 3 changed their appearance through the ages? For example, somebody like the Chinese leader would start off wearing fur or some kind of animal skin ( ancient era ) and when they get to the industrial/ modern, they start wearing suits.

I would love to see this return in Civ 6

Anybody else agree?

I don't like that.
Leaders that lived in the Medieval Ages should wear medieval clothing.
Leaders that lived in the Ancient ages should wear ancient clothing.
That's my opinion.

The leaderheads are far too detailed to have multiple costumes for each leader. It would also be quite immersion-breaking.

I liked the way Civ 3 did it. For me it is more immersion breaking to be in the modern era wearing a loincloth. I also preferred the windowed diplomacy. For me the way the current leader heads are done is unnecessarily detailed (and worse for adding new content, modding etc.).

I love the Civ 5 leaderheads, they're my favourite by far of any of the series. I hate how in Civ 5 you have an ancient era leader wearing a business suit, but still with shoulder-length rough hair.

this topic is really subjective to each and everyones own taste. I do like the progression through the ages, it's in line with the rest of the game (Ancient Americans), but it's also a multiple of the work so the quality is less. It also diminishes the educational aspect (which one is the correct Catherine again?), even if it ups the coolness factor.

Call to Power had envoys instead of Leader Pics which would solve that problem, but if we think outside of the box, there's other systems thinkable. For example a room with many 3D models where you can talk to the leaders instead of one leader screen popping up. (btw. multilateral negotiations, sorely missing in civ). In any case, something like the High Council of Civ2 could be integrated as well somehow...
