Maria Theresa because EXPERIENCE is everything!

By the way, who voted on Maria I? ...

 

[Makavcio]

Ha! My vote for Elizabeth is the only one! She'll be all mine!

 

[Tiggurix]

Anyway, I would vote for Pachacuti.

While Pachacuti isn't especially attractive, I do find that I think the male leaders are, comparatively, much more attractive on average than the female leaders, surprisingly enough. Kamehameha is a hunk! <3

The exception is Enrico Dandolo. Did they go out of their way to make him disgusting?

Now we need a poll for the boys!

Also, Maria Theresa is kind of a MILF. Just saying.

 

[Tiggurix]

You guys HAVE seen Boudicca's armpit hair, right?

So what? How would that make her less attractive? Do men become less attractive by not shaving their armpits? No? Exactly.

 

[VainoValkea]

Not for nothing, but this modern notion that 'real' women should be strong and act like men is just misguided propaganda. That isn't attractive or womanly, and IMO, one of the factors in the high divorce rates these days.

Catherine was a monarch of Russia. You can't be an empress of an absolute monarchy without being strong and assertive, or as you put it, "acting like men".

 

[Tiggurix]

O agree, but I suspect there are not as many females or gays as dirty old hetro men here.

You forgot bisexuals, which most people technically are.

Are you really going that way?...

 

[Tiggurix]

Are you really going that way?...

Yes I am. Personally, I dislike it when women shave. The hair is there for a reason, most of the time, and, again, no one complains when men don't do it. And I find it disgraceful that (my) modern society forces women to imitate a highly standardised look when men are not nearly as pressured into making themselves "attractive".

 

[DyadoMraz]

^Please stop

Anyway, I voted Catherine

I am however quite annoyed by the fact that Firaxis felt the need to include some no name skanks over much more deserving leaders just for the sake of having women in the game

Never quite understood the liking most people round here seem to have for Theodora. I'd distinguish between "being pretty" (Dido, Isabella), "inspiring base sexual attraction" (Dido, Catherine, and somewhat oddly Wu), and "someone you'd actually be interested in in real life" (undoubtedly Boudicca - fiery, speaks Welsh, enjoys a good Ceilidh, what's not to like?).

 

[Blitz Spearman]

Hard to decide between Wu and Theodora, but I think I'd choose Theodora. I totally have a thing for Asian girls, but the way Theodora speaks that strange, sexy language is what gives her the edge.

And guys, don't be fooled, Catherine is totally a dude! That "strong" face, those too big breasts, that wig-like hair... when she DoW me I am always afraid that she will raise her dress and brandish her penis at me.
Maria Theresa, on the other hand, looks so much like my grandma that I half expect her to offer me some cookies when she appears in the game.

 

[VainoValkea]

I think I've finally decided - I'd go watch a Shakespeare play with Good Queen Lizzie.

 

[bcaiko]

HIAWATHA. I talk to him just to talk to him.

mmmm.

 

[VainoValkea]

Suleiman the man. I know it's probably against his religious beliefs, but I'd totally have a beer with him. He looks like a fun and cheerful guy to spend the night telling lewd jokes with.

 

[Danielion]

So what? How would that make her less attractive? Do men become less attractive by not shaving their armpits? No? Exactly.

I'd say it makes women more attractive, because of the social taboo hanging around it in our current age and the idea it's how women naturally are. Took me a while to figure that out. Not sure if the in-game model of Boudicca is natural in this game, though. The only example of such a woman in video games I can think of is Olga Gurlukovich in MGS2.

 

[Dogmouth]

Not for nothing, but this modern notion that 'real' women should be strong and act like men is just misguided propaganda. That isn't attractive or womanly, and IMO, one of the factors in the high divorce rates these days.

Each to their own. Some guys (myself included) like a little confidence and sass. The Boudica vote reflects this. Yes, I know she has armpit hair, which doesn't bother me (hell, it's a sign of sexual maturity).

 

[Danielion]

*starting a duel map with Boudicca*

Nope, didn't see it. I think it's a myth.

Female armpit hair isn't 'masculine' at all in my opinion. I don't know where that notion comes from. Almost all women develop it when they hit puberty.

 

[caiman0815]

voted for Maria Theresia: running the austrian empire while having 14 children is really sexy

 

[Imalich]

Being 1/2 Irish, I have a soft spot for pale, blue-eyed redheads.

You don't really need to be half-Irish for that, man.

But anyway, went with Maria. I think she has one of the most expressive leader faces, looks more humane than the other characters, methinks. Real good game modeling.

 

[pilot00]

Isabella of castile. It always makes me sad that she attacks me, then denounces me, then attacks me again. I suppose I'm in a toxic relationship.

Agreed for the same reasons.

No one likes you, Wu.
Dido is quite graceful to me.

Dat nose about Dido...Reminds me of a woodpecker.

I went with Maria Theresa. She has the biggest boobs ( o Y o )

Too granny for my tastes.

Really? I thought it was Cath ... Why are Russian gals so tall?

I would answer that but it would go M rating.
