Rejinaldo Leonardo Pedro Bolivar de Alencar-Araripe with this long and fancy name, is the leader of Brasilia, one of the eight factions that sponsor space exploration in the game and also known as "The Organization of South American States" (Organization of Southern States Americans, in free translation).

Regarded as one of the top soldiers in the Western Hemisphere, the leader of Brasilia is strong in the military, health and production area, but diplomacy and growth are areas with which he is not really familiar.

"Rejinaldo began as a soldier, but eventually grew to become an officer. Throughout his career, he became both a successful military leader and a deep theoretical. Their notes appearing in the game are part of his work called 'Principles of Modern War', which is the most comprehensive military writing since von Clauswitz 'On War', "explain the designers of the game, Will Miller and David McDonough in an interview with UOL Jogos.

I think I know who I am playing first.

He looks badass.

 

[SupremacyKing]

Cool!! Thanks for sharing!!

edit: yes, he does look bad ass. I can imagine him leading an army of Purity flying fortresses absolutely crushing and terrifying everything in his path.

 

[GeoModder]

Yep, definitely the military man.

 

[El Caballerion]

Cool... though a little disappointed that Latin Americans are portrayed as the militaristic faction. The damn Slavic Federation better be more militaristic for balance.

 

[SupremacyKing]

The specific faction traits are probably still being tweaked but I still wish we could get some specific faction traits rather than just generic "good military, good production, weak culture" for example.

 

[Karl0413]

He looks badass.

And he kind of looks like Col. Miles Quaritch.

Not that I am complaining though. Bolivar plus Purity winning through conquest or Promised Land will give us an ending that movie should have had.

Squash those pansy Harmony factions!!

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Cool, I didn't expect any new leader info before Friday. Maybe they picked today because Brazil is going to get eliminated from the World Cup.

 

[reddishrecue]

That's bad ars. A modern day august or Julius...

 

[GeoModder]

No, not a misspelling. Rejinaldo Bolivar de Alencar-Araripe is written with the same jot. According to the producers that spelling is one of the leading Hispanic traits of Brasilia, which was formed with the union of South American countries, resulting in a mix of cultures and languages.

What do they mean by 'written with the same jot'?

What do they mean by 'written with the same jot'?

The original says "written with a 'j'". The portuguese spelling would be with a "g". That said, "Rejinaldo" isn't a common Spanish name either. Although it exists, I think "Reynaldo" is far more usual as a name.

 

[GeoModder]

Ah, I see.
Thanks.

Even though he's a war leader, he doesn't necessarily pigeonhole you into going military. If you wanted to, you could take advantage of his unique health/production combination to settle lots of early cities and build them up quickly, creating an empire that is both vast and resourceful.

Also, dude has a map on his shirt.

All of this + - assumption is that those are the faction Bonuses,

I think those are the AI flavor (ie an AI Bolivar will build lots of Factories, Hospitals, and Units, he will choose Industry and Might Virtues, he won't build a whole lot of farms, etc.)

 

[reddishrecue]

He has the honey comb grid from civilization 5.

 

[GenyaArikado]

funny that they revealed him today, considering the wc game hahahahaha. Now we know whats coming this friday

I think it will be both. AI leaders will be programmed to take advantage of their bonuses.

I'm not saying the + - stuff will be the full extent of a faction's UA, but I do believe they will apply to human players as well and not just AI.

How funny I found this after finished watching the world cup...

 

[Nick31]

Well, all that wondering about 'The Great Mistake' can cease now. We know for certain what would drive Brazilians off the Earth as fast as possible ...
