So Wilhemina always shows up in my games and always angrily snaps at me for not sending her a trade route. Like no, my priority is my buddies, not you, sweetheart.
Meaning she denounces me around the Industrial era for ignoring the several hundred years of her standing at my border sword rattling...like are we gonna throw down or not?
I always play as Indonesia because I like thalassocracies (and I’m Filipino, so it’s the closest I have)..so the meta humor is amusing.
My games usually involve Kupe showing up early and denouncing me for settling on completely open grassland by the coast for whatever reason. Saladin ignores me for a few hundred years before calling me an infidel. And having to spam supplies when Teddy decides to bring Freedom™ to one of my allies.
I usually make a manual selection of my bros: Gilgamesh, because he’s SO EASY to bro up with and be my personal bodyguard just for being friends; Harald because he keeps me safe on the high seas and harasses everyone else inland; Robert because he’s the best neighbor ever and Research Alliances boost me forward if I have to waste a thousand years of Inquisitor blockade with Saladin / Philip / Jayavarman / Basil grunting at me to accept their completely unbeneficial religion; Chandragupta to piss off everyone else near him like Harald; and now Ambiorix because he digs my ship spam (I also notice he reaaaaally likes City-State suzerainty, so yay Economic Alliance)
Surprisingly, Shaka, Alexander, Genghis Khan, and Cyrus leave me alone, so there’s that
Kongo because no I cant convert you. Stop whining. And Gilgamesh because he is always so extremely pissed at me.
Literally all you have to do is ask him to be your friend when you meet him. And he’s the most got-your-back-bro out of everyone.
All of them. The game just doesnt have many likeable characters in general. Except for Cleo, Genghis, Gilga and Barbarossa I pretty much dislike all of them
Really? I find that Cleopatra has the personality of a lawn chair. And Frederick just LOVES to annihilate beneficial City-States of mine.
I find that all the AI leaders play pretty much the same, and so my dislike of certain characters is mostly down to either a) those that constantly kvetch at you (John Curtin, Wilfred Laurier, Mvemba) and b) those with incredibly annoying music (Australia, Canada, Cree, Maori).
Really? Those are the best songs! I can’t stand Zulu or Georgia’s music
