Charlemagne's leaderhead is based off the Burger King

except the beard is different and not a ladies man

 

[Mercade]

And the hair doesn't curl up.
And the moustache is different.

So yes, they're both narrow faced men with brown beards.

I think it's the wide-open, slightly-crazed eyes on Charlemagne that really makes him remind me of the burger king.

That kind of look that says don't let this man near your children.

 

[ladiesman]

The eyes do look very Burger King-ish.

Now we need a McDonald's civ for the ultimate showdown;

The Burger King vs. Ronald McDonald

Burger King (Ind/Cha)
UU: The Whopper
UB: Flame-Broiler

Ronald McDonald (Phi/Agg)
UU: Hamburgler
UB: 24hr Drive-thru

Of course, either one could build the White Castle wonder, or generate the Great General Col. Sanders.

Forget Charlemagne/The King..... check out that fullsome wonder of femininity standing next to him!

Sorry, I think I have been living in svelte Thailand for too long!

 

[Legal_My_Deagle]

Somebody needs to make a mod so that the leaderhead IS the BK

And when you meet him in-game he says "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?"

 

[Uberness]

I'd say it's the part where he greets you with a wide grin that most reminds me of them.

It gave me a laugh anyway. Unlike Burger King, Charlie is embarrassingly impotent in all the games I've seen.

It makes sense actually as Charlemagne built the Hamburg castle, and in doing so founded the city of Hamburg.

So it's fair to say, without Charlemagne no Hamburgers.

 

[Certainty]

I saw this somewhere else...

Somewhere that doesn't exist...

But, yes, the resemblance is uncanny.

 

[bazola]

I knew I had a funny familiar feeling when I saw Charlemange....

 

[Dennis_Moore]

Well, Charlemagne was the original Burger King (see my earlier post).

 

[dutchking]

That's all I have to say...

Charlie with Aggressive AI shoved literally 100 units into my best city's face in one Emperor game. I eventually had to concede the city to him, but I spent the next several dozen turns building up and ran him over after that. Still, I've never looked at him the same way again.

One thing though.... Aggressive AI or not.... Charlie can't tech for jack...

Same with Sitting Bull.

What is it with these AI's who are so impotent at teching (even though they have huge amounts of land) yet some tech madly.
