Bad Brazil voice acting

I'm rather angry with ther UU - I mean.. cut-throat units going on killing sprees generates more happiness and arts in Brazil? I don't get it and I'm pretty sure it's quite politically incorrect. :o
 
I find him entirely adequate. Not bad, not brilliant. And I'm saying this as a speaker of Portuguese, though that's literally all I can. I have no good knowledge of accents and such.

When Brazil came to be the only South American country to participate directly in European battlefield during the WWII, it was publicized internally as an incredible deed. Even the Pracinhas' motto, "a cobra vai fumar" relates to something impossible due to general distrust in a Brazilian successful participation in war. "A cobra vai fumar" means "the snake is gonna smoke", for people said it was easier to see a snake smoking than a South American participation in WWII. That's why the Pracinhas' icon in BNW is a smoking snake.

Brazil has this odd ability to convert almost anything to carnival parades. It was exactly the case with our modest but effective participation in Italian peninsula during WWII. The "carnival of victory", prepared in 1945 for the 1946 parades, was something particularly big in Brazil.
 
I'd like to remember that Vargas was not the main cause of Brazilian industrialization. This is historical/political propaganda. Brazil's industrialization was a slow and steady process. It has no single person behind it.

Getúlio Vargas is one of the worst possible Brazilians that could be chosen to represent Brazil in a Civilization game. He ordered the torture of tens of thousands and executed hundreds, even more than the later Military regime (1964-85).

If the developers wanted to choose someone in place of Pedro II, there are plenty of good options:

- Pedro I
- José Bonifácio
- Marquis of Paraná
- Viscount of Rio Branco
- Duke of Caxias
- Princess Isabel (wonderful in case a female is needed)
- Empress Maria Leopoldina

Republican era:

- Baron of Rio Branco
- Joaquim Nabuco

Ah. I stand corrected then. Very enlightening; thank you very much. :)
 
Why does everyone have to shake in rage about anything war related? I like some difference in the leader personalities and I also like Pedro's voice acting.

This. I like that he's actually considerate of the other nations' peoples as well.
 
I like that little song Sejong sings when you meet him for the first time.

"조선의 궁궐에 당도한것을 환영하오 낯선이여. 나는 조선의 백성을 굽어 살피는 깨우친 임금, 세종이요."

So awkward it has been very popular between Koreans who never played Civ.

Really? Interesting. I did see a video with Sejong's voice replaced and a choral Arirang as well. Some people seem to have REALLY disliked the Sejong voice actor. I guess the intonations were weird.

How I say, Vargas was defamed and much what was said is not true. Getulio initiated the industrialization in Brazil, it's true. Vargas created several laws that benefited the workers and continue to today.

Vargas was autoritarian, but, your acts was importance to growth of the Brazil.

Perhaps if Vargas would not have governed the country of the Brazil, the industrialization would have initiated much later.
