HE is qin shi huang not Kublai Khan

Why not? Everyone else does.

Cleopatra was no Elizabeth Taylor. Rip Taylor, maybe.

?? Cleopatra was apparently a very beautiful woman. She was thought to be by the Romans, anyway; she was a lover to a few Roman generals after all

I'll talk about those who I do know a lot about.

Catherine - Catherine really doesn't look like the real Catherine the great. Unless if you're about 13 or 14 year old Catherine the great before she came to Russia. And I'm not understanding the way she dressed. She might've worn it when she went hunting but I think they should've put her in a corset.

Elizabeth - Probably the best representation. There's nothing much to complain about they did get it right.

Isabella - Real Isabella was of course no where as pretty. Again, could've been a teenaged real Isabella but still off but not as far as Catherine imo.

Victoria - Fairly good representation but still a bit wrong. If I didn't know it was meant to be her I probably wouldn't think it. Looks more like the Queen Mother imo.

Yay! This was added to the official Warlords patch!

Qin shouldn't be "nice" either, if you know he once buried alive 200.000 captured soldiers in just one day

wow, i don't know where you got the story, but i think it was just an exaggerated criticism on QinShiHuang.

do u know how many populations in China before 210BC? 200.000 soldiers means at least 600,000 populations in the captured kingdom. by then, there were 6 kingdoms in China. i don't think there were so large population before 210BC. can you take proves of that?

 

[Koelle]

I dont know how big your population was at that time but for sure about 300 years later a guy named Zhou Yu burnt alive 830.000 soldiers of another guy named Cao Cao? Do i recall correctly? In ancient China as much as 30% the population were drafted into the army so i'm not surprised if 200.000 were buried at some point of its history.

 

[Koelle]

Oh, it was my mistake, i've just checked it again and the serial killer was Xiang Yu, and he ordered to bury alive 200.000 Qin's surrendered soldiers. That was well documented. The Chinese were brutal so i'm not shocked me if they masscared each other

Yeah, okay, problem solved, thread being megaspammed, what else is new?...

 

[a4phantom]

Doesnt Saladin also look alot like bin-laden? Im serious

I noticed that too. And Saladin wasn't even an Arab.

And I'm not understanding the way she dressed. She might've worn it when she went hunting but I think they should've put her in a corset.

I'm wondering whether they might have modelled her on this picture. Which, as far as I can tell, is of 13-14 year old Catherine (and although not actually out hunting, certainly dressed for riding) - you really seem to know your stuff!

 

[aronnax]

all asian people look the same anyways, so i don't see why this is a big deal

Arent you ignorant......

 

[Blaarg]

Arent you ignorant......

I'm guessing his comment was tongue in check. A lot of people are slow to realize that what may sound sarcastic coming out of thier lips, doesn't appear sarcastic in text.

 

[ggganz]

Try .

But apparently not beautiful by modern Western standards.
Coin shows Cleopatra's ugly truth

I spotted this, too, but I decided not to say anything about it, because IMO the Civ Catherine is a hotty!
