A fun, stupid question....

[jgroth1978]

If you were a Civ leader, what would your traits be? Like I am ORG and PHI, I think. What would you be? Maybe it would be fun to play a leader that matches your own traits... it would be interesting to see the result.

Like I said, a fun, stupid question.

 

[xenex]

Let me start by saying im a builder at heart.

My traits would probably be expansive and protective.

Edit: Let me say that yes,I dont like protective either, but if I were to be a leader in Civ4 that is what I think my traits would be, boring but yeah.I probably wouldn't choose myself as a leader very often with these traits,maybe if I could choose my UU/UB then I could probaly have some fun.


Now let me say why I wouldn't say I fit with the other traits.

Im not aggresive at all, I dont start fights and I dont look for trouble, if I end up in a situation like that I wont back down and will make you think twice.

While I would love to be creative in RL, I have no real skill when it comes to creativity, I cant play by guitar, I dont really draw,I can play no instrument at all and I find art rather boring.

While, I can handle money pretty well and I am not a person that needs the most expensive,newest and can prevent myself from wasting money in general, im bad at making money that I do have grow larger.

With industrious I imagine being handy and being able to make things.While I am pretty handy and could probably invent lets say a knife if i was on a deserted island, I probably wouldn't be able to build a seaworthy boat.So while I could say im somewhat industrious its not enough to warrant the trait.

Im not organized at all unless you count me knowing in what pile what item is as organized.

I do sometimes wonder about the philosophical question of the world, but only about half the trait would actually fit me.Mostly scientist and the universty the others not so much.

I am 100% atheist and yes you can be atheist and also be spiritual, but I am not that either.

I dont like wars and fighting in general so the first part of imperialistic wouldn't fit, the second part could, but I can be happy with what I already have which I attempt to make better so.

I can be a leader, but charismatic is not something my followers would say I am.


Now I may have put way too much into this that you wanted but I dont care,I wanted to have some fun.
There is already a thread like this somewhere on the forum, but that thread lets people invent their own traits and does not ask which traits in the game would fit you best.

 

[Windsor]

FIN/ORG
Agri/hunting
UU: Carrack?
UB: Stock exchange
Fav.civic: Free speech
Fav.religion: None

 

[Deepsix]

Mine would have to be:

(Non) Financial - I always seem to have 1 commerce when there was 2

(Un) Organized - my upkeep is constantly increased by 50%

This indicates that my UB is probably the Mall...

Lol, I made the exact same thread 3 years ago .

I'm still ind/pro

 

[TheMeInTeam]

I'm still ORG/IMP...in grad school I graded out very highly in organization as a personality tendency (it was a surprise to me, but I can see it), and chose heavy training managerial economics for my elective concentration in the MBA.

IMP reflects my empire management style well. I tend to pick up a lot of competent people for group work, games, etc and pursue out-of-gate advantages a lot. IMP also fits my civ style pretty well even if it isn't the strongest trait.

 

[insaneweasel]

Phil/Creative

I am a total math/science nerd, and I would be a crazy fast researcher. I love books, so creative for the libraries. Not a fan of theatre, but the colosseum bonus doesn't hurt.

Philosophical for the extra great people, and faster universities. If I were a great scientist/engineer, I would bulb myself, get a huge tech advantage, and rule teh world

 

[Mosher]

I think I'd be spi/agg.

 

[Defiant47]

Defiant
Financial/Organized
Favorite Civic: State Property
Favorite Religion: None
Favors: Science, Gold

 

[HorribleHarald]

Another very stupid question,

some civs have three leaders; ame, fra, eng and rus,
I think it's not quite fair because many civs do not have even two ( or one)

if you could choose what leader do you replace 3rd leaders Abe, DeGaulle, Churchill and Stalin ( to existent civs)

I think Stalin (agg/ind) is the easiest, it's Nebuchadnezzar II (bab) conqueror and builder
Others...
Churchill (pro/cha) could be Hiawatha (nat)
DeGaulle (cha/ind) could be Hirohito (jap)
and getting one another female leader with in
Abe (cha/phi) could be Dido (car)

 

[youknowwhatitis]

Chm/IMP
Fav Civic: Police State
Fav Religion: Free Religion

Those are good points. I wonder what criteria the designers used when creating the civs/leaders for Civ4....
