Gedemon · Aug 25, 2012

Good idea !

Nutty · Aug 26, 2012

[EDIT: I originally figured this could be a community project, but I didn't get a lot of input, so I ended up slapping the original update to mihaifx's mod together myself. Since then, many people have come forward to try to help make the art more in keeping with Firaxis' art design.

I'm all ears if anyone's got any better ideas than the leaders that are currently implemented. See this and later posts for discussion about some of the original choices (though some have since changed). See the art contribution thread for later discussions. You're still welcome to add your two cents there, or better yet offer up some new art.]

...

Here's what I've come up with after a quick and dirty crawl through Wikipedia. Discuss.

vanilla:

Kathmandu: [EDIT: Maybe Tribhuvan, pic, instead.]
King Amshuverma Thakura, pic, was the Licchavi king of Nepal in the sixth century AD (605-629 AD) of the Thakuri dynasty. He was learned, bold and farsighted Thakuri emperor of Lichhavi period, he was also a lover of art, architecture and literature. He built Kailash Bhawan. He was a brave king, fought many battles and extended the territory of his kingdom far and wide. A close relationship between Nepal and Tibet was established. He is credited with opening trade routes to Tibet...

G+K:

Antwerp: Mary "the Rich" of Burgundy (Duchess of Brabant), pic #1 or pic #2, (13 February 1457 – 27 March 1482) ruled the Burgundian territories in Low Countries and was suo jure Duchess of Burgundy from 1477 until her death. As the only child of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, and his wife Isabella of Bourbon, she was the heiress to the vast, and vastly wealthy, Burgundian domains in France and the Low Countries upon her father's death in the Battle of Nancy on 5 January 1477.[1], and was accordingly often referred to as "Mary the Rich".
Cahokia: [N/A - The Mississippians left no written record, but they revered the "Birdman" falcon warrior, so let's call him Birdman, pic. Excerpt: During excavation of Mound 72 [at Cahokia], a ridge-top burial mound south of Monks Mound, archaeologists found the remains of a man in his 40s who was probably an important Cahokian ruler. The man was buried on a bed of more than 20,000 marine-shell disc beads arranged in the shape of a falcon,[22] with the bird's head appearing beneath and beside the man's head, and its wings and tail beneath his arms and legs. The falcon warrior or "birdman" is a common motif in Mississippian culture. This burial clearly had powerful iconographic significance."]
Colombo: [N/A - I couldn't find any pics of the rulers of the Kingdom of Kotte, so we're going to have to go with another king of Sri Lanka who didn't base his capital there, but I couldn't decide on Dutthagamani of Anuradhapura, pic, or Parakramabahu I "the Great" of Polonnaruwa, pic. EDIT: Or a modern mayor, as Androrc suggests below: How about A. E. Goonesinha, pic?]

...

Nutty · Aug 28, 2012

...

Hong Kong: [N/A - This is a toughie. Apparently, the first 2 Chief Executives after the British returned Hong Kong to China were forced to resign, and the 3rd just took office this year. I don't want to pick a Brit. It's a stretch, but maybe Kai Ho, who was really just an intermediary]: Sir Kai Ho Kai, pic, CMG, JP, MRCS, (1859–1914), born Ho Shan-kai, was a Hong Kong Chinese barrister, physician and essayist in Colonial Hong Kong. He played a key role in the relationship between the Hong Kong Chinese community and the British colonial government. He is mostly remembered as one of the main supporters and teacher of student Sun Yat-sen. Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong, was named after him and his son-in-law Au Tak, though he died in 1914, long before the idea of an aerodrome was first mentioned in 1925.
Jakarta: Sukarno, pic, born Kusno Sosrodihardjo (6 June 1901 – 21 June 1970), was the first President of Indonesia. Sukarno was the leader of his country's struggle for independence from the Netherlands and was Indonesia's first President from 1945 to 1967. He was replaced by one of his generals, Suharto (see Transition to the New Order), and remained under house arrest until his death.
Jerusalem: [It's either David or Solomon. I vote Solomon.] Solomon, pic, according to the Book of Kings and the Book of Chronicles,[2] a King of Israel... is identified as the son of David... and is described as the third king of the United Monarchy, and the final king before the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah split; following the split his patrilineal descendants ruled over Judah alone. The conventional dates of Solomon's reign are circa 970 to 931 BC.
La Venta: [N/A - Olmec. I dunno, let's pick a head, e.g., pic, and call him "Ku Tu" which means someone who is both local king and governor (since I can't find the name of a ruler of La Venta specifically). Excerpt from here: The Olmec inscriptions indicate that each Olmec town was ruled by either a governor or King, and that their was a recognized religious leader for the entire community (Winters, 1997). The Olmec King was usually referred to as Tu. The Olmec term for governor was Ku. Interestingly, some of the Olmec rulers were referred to as the Ku and Tu. This may suggest that the Olmec civilization may have been organized into a confederation of city-states lead by a recognized emperor. The Olmec emperor may have appointed the local government heads or Ku (governors). The fact that some Olmec rulers referred to themselves as Ku Tu, or both governor and King may reflect the Olmec Emperor's appointment of conquered Kings as governors over Olmec cities they formerly mastered as a result of divine right.]
Manila: [N/A - Which is worse, Marcos, pic... or the conqueror and first Governor-General of the Spanish East Indies, Miguel López de Legazpi, pic? Maybe someone safer: mayor Arsenio Lacson (but I'm not sure I can find a "free" picture, and was he a big enough "leader"?)]: Arsenio H. Lacson, pic [not free?], (December 26, 1911 — April 15, 1962) was a Filipino journalist and politician who gained widespread attention as Mayor of Manila from 1952 to 1962. An active executive likened by Time and The New York Times to New York's Fiorello La Guardia,[1][2] he was the first Manila mayor to be reelected to three terms.[1] Nicknamed "Arsenic" and described as "a good man with a bad mouth",[3] Lacson's fiery temperament became a trademark of his political and broadcasting career. He died suddenly from a stroke amidst talk that he was planning to run in the 1965 presidential election.[4]
Marrakech: Moulay al-Rashid (of Morocco), pic, (1631 – 9 April 1672), was Sultan of Morocco from 1666 to 1672. He has been called the founder of the Alaouite Dynasty.
Milan: Gian Galeazzo Visconti, pic, (16 October 1351 – 3 September 1402), son of Galeazzo II Visconti and Bianca of Savoy, was the first Duke of Milan (1395)[1] and ruled the late-medieval city just before the dawn of the Renaissance. He was the great founding patron of the Certosa di Pavia, completing the Visconti Castle at Pavia begun by his father and furthering work on the Duomo of Milan.

I think it would be better if mayors were used for the city-states which have never historically been independent, instead of the leaders of the nations those cities belonged to.

Fair enough for the modern ones, but even then I'd have a real tough time picking them not knowing much about most of these cities. As far as the ancient ones go, there isn't much info in most cases, and certainly, and most importantly, no pics.

EDIT:
Note that I have picked some from some smaller political subdivisions, but I was shooting for regional governors (e.g., dukes), not city mayors.

I'm shooting for the "golden age" of the city when it rose to international prominence, but where this happened because of colonial influence makes it tough to choose a fitting leader.

The availability of information on local rulers is indeed a very important concern, so I will give one suggestion that might help: Karl Lueger for Vienna.

Being Jewish, I'll admit to some bias on the point of anti-Semitism. Though there are plenty of flawed leaders in Civ, you're not going to see Pol Pot or Hitler. On the other hand, Stalin got a pass twice, and Mao 5 times--though notably, Mao was taken out of the Chinese release of Civs III and IV. Anyway, there's a controversy line drawn somehow, and I'd personally put Lueger--whether fairly or not--on the other side of being worth it. EDIT: (Same reason I didn't want to pick, e.g., Marcos.)

Nutty · Aug 30, 2012

I've thrown together a few more possibilities. Again, these are after the result of very cursory research.
[continued from post #6]...

Mombasa: [N/A - I don't know what to do with Mombasa. A modern mayor, perhaps.]
EDIT: The current mayor? Ahmed Abubakar Mohdhar, pic #1 EDIT: or pic #2.
Prague: Bretislaus I (Duke of Bohemia), pic, (1002/1005 - 10 January 1055), known as the Bohemian Achilles, of the house of the Přemyslids, was Duke of Bohemia from 1035 until his death.
Valletta: [EDIT: Originally I chose Valette, but he died before the city was even finished. Maybe we should go with Giovanni Paolo Lascaris, pic, or Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, pic instead?]
Fra' Jean Parisot de Valette, pic, (4 February 1495[?], Parisot, Rouergue - 21 August 1568, Malta), was a French nobleman and 49th Grand Master of the Order of Malta, from 1557 to 1568. As a Knight Hospitaller, joining the order in the Langue de Provence, he fought with distinction against the Turks at Rhodes. As Grand Master, Valette became the Order's hero and most illustrious leader, commanding the resistance against the Ottomans at the Great Siege of Malta in 1565, widely regarded as one of the greatest sieges of all time. He became Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller on 21 August 1557.
Vatican City: Pope Pius XI, pic, (31 May 1857 10 February 1939), born Ambrogio Damiano Achille Ratti, was Pope from 6 February 1922, and sovereign of Vatican City from its creation as an independent state on 11 February 1929 until his death on 10 February 1939. He issued numerous encyclicals including Quadragesimo Anno, highlighting capitalistic greed of international finance, and social justice issues, and Quas Primas, establishing the feast of Christ the King. He took as his papal motto, "Christ's peace in Christ's kingdom".
Wittenberg: Frederick III "the Wise" (Elector of Saxony), pic, (17 January 1463 5 May 1525) was Elector of Saxony (from the House of Wettin) from 1486 to his death. Frederick was the son of Ernest, Elector of Saxony and his wife Elisabeth, daughter of Albert III, Duke of Bavaria. He is notable as being one of the most powerful early defenders of Martin Luther,[1] Lutheranism, and the Protestant Reformation. He is commemorated as a Christian ruler in the Calendar of Saints of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod on 5 May. His court painter since 1504 was Lucas Cranach the Elder.
Yerevan: [EDIT: maybe Aram Manukian, pic, instead?]
Robert Kocharyan, pic, (born August 31, 1954), was the second President of Armenia, serving from 1998 till 2008. He was previously President of Nagorno-Karabakh from 1994 to 1997 and Prime Minister of Armenia from 1997 to 1998.
Zanzibar: Abeid Amani Karume, pic, (August 4, 1905[1] April 7, 1972), was the first President of Zanzibar. He obtained this title as a result of a popular revolution which lead to the deposing of the last Sultan of Zanzibar Sultan Jamshid bin Abdullah on January 1964. Three months later, the United Republic of Tanzania was founded as Tanzania, prompting Karume to become the first Vice President of the United Republic along with Julius Nyerere of Tanganyika as president... [Note he also remained President of semi-autonomous Zanzibar until his assassination in 1972]
Zurich: Rudolf Brun, pic, (1290s17 September 1360), was the leader of the Zürich guilds' revolution of 1336, and the city's first independent mayor.

EDIT: I'll go back and add Wikipedia's short description for them all.

So, there's at least something for every city in the base G+K game, ~~except Mombasa~~. Any more suggestions/critiques?

Androrc the Orc · Aug 31, 2012

I think that the current mayor of Mombasa looks absolutely awesome, so he would be quite interesting graphically at least to add to the game.

I liked very much most of the other leaders you've mentioned as well.

Yes, the mayor's uniform is very striking.

EDIT: Sneak Peek! EDIT #2: (revised)

Thanks!

As far as "most," though... Are your concerns based on your earlier suggestion? Let me know which ones are specifically weaker.

To the community:
:please:

I need your help! Yes, you! With your--as of this writing--269 views!

I'd like some specific input. Obviously the ones I've put an N/A next to are tough cases on which I'd appreciate any input at all. I don't care if you don't know anything about the place; I'm clearly in no better place to say than any of you.

:thanx:

EDIT: Note I've converted the CS leader template to PSD and attached it to the first post.

The window topper template attached to the first post has been updated to mesh with the scrollwork of Gods+Kings. EDIT: See pic attached to first post for an indication of what I mean.

I guess I'll just release a beta soon since it looks like no further input is forthcoming. Then you can all tell me how I got it wrong.

HowAreYou · Sep 9, 2012

The More City States mod wouldn't happen to be this mod in the steam workshop, would it? The author seems to be different, but the mod looks identical to me (albeit updated)

If it is, then for Salt Lake City I suggest Brigham Young [pic], who was the first Governor of the Territory of Deseret, Prophet of the Mormon Church, and led the Mormons across the Great Plains of the United States to Salt Lake City

For Guadalajara, how about Nuño de Guzmán who commissioned the founding of Guadalajara. Although he was attributed as a poor ruler, moving the site of the village countless times.

For the In-Game City States, I did a google search and couldn't find anything on a man by the name of "Birdman". However, I couldn't find any Cahokian-born leaders either. The closest thing to a leader I could find was Henri de Tonti [pic], an Italian working for the French who lived among the Cahokians and attempted to negotiate with the Sioux Warriors who had come to wipe out the Cahokians. He was stabbed and nearly killed upon suggestion.

For the Scenario-Specific City-States, for the Polynesian Scenario, Fiji, Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau was a warlord who united the Fijian tribes. He was also a cannibal.

Nutty · Sep 11, 2012

HowAreYou: Thanks very much for the suggestions!

It looks like crawf0rd/JC has updated his mod sometime in the last few weeks, but hasn't yet updated the CivFanatics thread. As far as "Birdman," see post #5. I've updated the tables on all counts (and added the "Into the Renaissance" Medieval scenario, which I inadvertently left out).

In any case, I've got some betas to share in case anyone would like to give it a whirl. See the first post. I don't like Lhasa and Lisbon because the cartoon art doesn't mesh well with the others. I'll see if I can find something else for them. [EDIT: I'm thinking Thubten Gyatso, pic, and a different pic for Joao II.] I'm also thinking I may give all the black-and-white photos a colored tint. And I've got to clean up some edges.

EDIT #2: Another idea: Should I do anything to highlight the different traits since the icon is no longer used? Perhaps color the ring around the leader or something? Perhaps I could also change the color of the trait readout below to match. I'm thinking Red for Militaristic, Gold for Mercantile, Purple for Cultured, White for Religious, and Turquoise for Maritime.

EDIT #3: The colored ring doesn't work. It's either too subtle, or it looks tacky. Oh well, there is the small icon on the popups other than the first greeting, and there's the background pic. I may leave the color coding for the readout, though. EDIT: I did leave the color coding.

I posted some new betas, but the G+K one is bugged where some leader icons are appearing for the wrong city. I'll put up a new version soon.

EDIT: I think the problem has been fixed.

Mods have been posted on Steam and CFC!

Enjoy.

EDIT: Added some proposed leaders that crawf0rd sent in for his More City States mod. There's some controversial ones in there, but since it's his mod that it'll be supporting, I'm fine with them.
EDIT 9/28/2012: Added some proposals for More CS of my own, including some potential alternatives to Ahmadinejad and Gaddafi.
