Civ4/FfH2 leader counterparts

[Psycho_Ivan]

As a bit of fun, I thought I would compare the FfH leaders and find their BtS counterpart. If you notice that a leader or two is missing, it's because they have a unique trait which can't be compared with any BtS traits. (IE Raiders.) Although I'd like to say the leaders are clearly definable as having the same traits the truth of the matter is that some leaders probably don't have a BtS comparison... In such cases, I will try to draw together the best comparison. As for leaders with only a single trait that is comparable to any BtS traits, sorry.

Alexis of Calabim
Traits: Philosophical, Aggressive
Counterpart: Alexander of Greece
Nothing too strange here...

Arendel Phaedra of Ljosalfar

These two might get along.

Arturus Thorne of Khazad

Counterpart: Franklin D. Roosevelt of America
Secretly brothers?

I can't see these two kicking it off very well.

And with that finished, some personal things I learned from today's lesson...

Liberal use of personal opinions and thoughts are best reserved for political authors.
Humor, get some.
Just because it's a vague joke doesn't make it any funnier once others figure it out.

And moving on, my condolences and a fruit basket to the leaders who weren't able to make it today.

Hope you had as much fun reading that as I had writing (typing.) it up!

 

[brucedecatz]

I think it is more fun to compare personalities.

Faeryl--Catty of Russia.

Either of the Doviello leaders: Monty of Aztecs! If you play a high difficulty and the Doviellos are near, they always rush you with Lucian and warriors. If you do not have archers or copper by the time they have axeman, it is game-over. It is that predictable. Strangely, that kind of predictability is also fun.

Are the Elohims Gandhi-like? Perhaps, I have seen them being wiped out too often.

I still have yet to discover a tech whore like Mansa Musa...

 

[Psycho_Ivan]

That'd be either of the Amurite leaders... Even when they are Friendly with you, they never want to trade any technology with you, and yet they will constantly ask for a gift.

 

[Ekolite]

I think Tasunke and Cathy. Both like to sink the knife in while you have your back turned.

EDIT: And Faeryl of course.

 

[MrUnderhill]

That'd be either of the Amurite leaders... Even when they are Friendly with you, they never want to trade any technology with you, and yet they will constantly ask for a gift.

What's even worse is that their opening diplomacy quote goes something like "Hello, whatshisface, let us share our secrets, hm?"
By "our secrets", I'm sure they mean "your secrets", because you sure ain't getting any of theirs.

 

[Imuratep]

Good a tech whore is quite the opposite: Trading away everything to everyone (like Mansa in vanilla). I think the Hippus match this point. Even if they are angry you're able to trade techs with them.
Arturus Thorne could be compared to Tokugawa. Never ever opening his borders unless you have an attitude of +4-6 (strange for great merchants). It's not that extreme as with Tokugawa, but comes near.

They don't even have to be near you, contact is enough.

 

[Morni]

They don't even have to be near you, contact is enough.

They don't even need to have contact, they'll find you. Being on the same planet is enough.

 

[rocklikeafool]

Sabathiel of Bannor
Traits: Charismatic, Organized
Counterparts: Napoleon of France

This 1 made me lol.

Ture. Very true. There's a reason some of us consider the Devellio animals ya know.

 

[Corlis]

Sabathiel of Bannor
Traits: Charismatic, Organized
Counterparts: Napoleon of France

Sabathiel led his people out of Hell, whereas Napoleon led his people into the closest real life equivalent [Russia in winter]

ETA: Oddly enough, I was idly wondering which trait Barack Obama would have in Civ4, and I came up with Chr/Org...

 

[rocklikeafool]

Too bad lair anit' a trait in FfH. Cuz that's wat Obama is. But nough of the political . .. .. .. ..
