Just for Fun: Guess the Leaders! All 52 of them!

[iggymnrr]

Thanks. After looking at a clue to the polar opposite:

Spoiler :

Opposite of Elizabeth would be Cathy? Seems I recall her "pensioning off" lovers.

 

[Gwaja]

@iggymnrr,

Spoiler :

Absolutely correct! Liz was a virgin queen, and Cathy was far from that... exact polar opposite.

[NihilZero]

This doesn't seem like strategy and tips to me.

I had a go at some of them. There are a few that baffle me completely.

Spoiler :

#01: Face me when I am talking to you! How long does it take for you to look at me when I am talking to you? Having a headache? - Lincoln

#02: Oh, such elegance! Love that curtsey. I wish I was so elegant like that! - Elizabeth

#03: I don't think he likes the way people call him. Frankie sounds more manly than that! - Roosevelt?

#04: I used to like the way you looked in Vanilla. Now? Not so much. - Qin or KK

#05: Are you from this Earth or are you really an alien? - Suryavarman

#06: Quite jumpy, aren't we? Anyways, I don't like you because you are a classic backstabber.

#07: I think I prefer going to McDonald's than going to your place. - Charlemagne

#08: I don't know how you men used to wear your hair all that curly and white. Is that even your real hair? - Frederick?

#09: Joseph McCarthy loves you! ^_^ - Stalin

#10: Are you sure you weren't in that movie... uh... "Silence of the Lambs?" - Hannibal

#11: Okay, just exactly what are you doing with your mask on? It looks like as if you are blind and trying to reach for something. - Pericles

#12: If Justinian was alive at your time, you probably wouldn't have captured... Oh never mind! - Mehmed

#13: The most depressing name for a 2nd city. Really, I prefer rich dads, not poor ones. Sorry! - Sitting Bull

#14: Get away from me chubby man! And your arrogance bugs me. "I am the State?" Really? - Louis XIV

#15: Speaking of diet... you really need one, girl! ^_^ - Victoria

#16: I heard you were quite fond of soaking yourself in blood after a ritual. Maybe that's why you are such a psycho. - Montezuma

#17: Oooh, I love that music... is that considered salsa? - Possibly Isabella

#18: Nice BEARD you got there. But please stop showing it off. You don't need to constantly be combing it, or whatever it is you are doing with it.

#19: So I am interested in this calendar of your people that is supposed to bring doom to our world. Is this really gonna happen? - Pacal

#20: Your unique unit is grossly overpowered. At least you are not a warmongering psycho! Say... can you build me some more wonders for me to capture later? - Augustus

#21: Stop rubbing your nose already! And no, I don't have any undefended coastal cities for you, thank you very much! - Ragnar

#22: Can I hire you as my gardener? I want one of those gardens in my high rise apartment veranda. - Hammurabi

#23: I prefer the way you look now, than the way you used to look in Vanilla. - Qin or KK

#24: Your unique unit's battle animation is just too fancy. But then again, I always love fireworks! -Wang Kon

#25: Can you please stop trading away so many techs please? - Mansa Musa

#26: You don't look like someone who is associated with blood and iron. You look too gentle and fragile to be associated with them. - The quote references Bismarck, but I already picked him so I have no idea.

#27: I was wondering why your nation's soccer fans love to show up in games all dressed in that same color, associated with some fruit. Is that because of your name? - Soccer? What is this "soccer"?

#28: Stop pounding your chest already! And perhaps you might want to think about getting more clothes on you?

#29: Oh yeah, I am so damn happy to see you too! NOT! - Genghis

#30: #29 says "Hey you stole my Vanilla traits!" - Shaka

#31: Say... how long are you gonna be keeping your hands together like that? - Asoka

#32: I am sorry, but I don't plan on keeping Nationhood as my civics forever. And your unique unit is terrible. - Bismarck

#33: It always gives me the chuckles when people mention your name. - Giglamesh

#34: You remind me of the movie "Braveheart" in a way. Well, at least you are of the same ethnic origin, right? ^_^ - Brennus

#35: I feel.... sleeeeeepy.....

#36: Wow you got such a temper! Why can't you be like your other countryman in this game and be more gentle for a change? - Alexander

#37: I wanna be your friend... PLEASE! Uh... maybe not! - Tokugawa?

#38: Resistance without violence.... you have my respect, sir! - Gandhi

#39: Oh, how magnificent! - Suleiman

#40: What did Lenin have against you to change the name of your glorious city like that? At least it is back to the way it was. - Peter

#41: Again, I don't plan on sticking around with Nationhood forever. At least your unique unit isn't as bad as the other dude. Or am I downplaying it too much there? ^_^ - DeGaulle

#42: You know... I swear there is a song named after your name!

#43: Your clothes look like... hmm.. I don't know... a workout jersey or something. Did they actually have clothes like that in your time? - Zara Yaqob?

#44: Oooh my... your hair style is seriously the worst of everyone. The worst condition of balding ever! - Mao

#45: It's sad when there is a plague named after your name. At least you didn't die from it.

#46: You are the cutest leader of all in this game. Such a cute smile at that too. But that hat of yours has got to go! - Hatshepsut

#47: Et tu Gwaja? - Julius Caesar

#48: Remind me again not to play as you on unaltered Earth maps. It's got to be the worst starting condition anyone can ask for. - Never played an Earth map

#49: Girl...let's see who's got more tattoos... you or me! ^_^ - Boudica

#50: Nothing really jumps at me about you... except for that baby blues fabric. - Cyrus

#51: I am a little shaky with history... do you come first or #46? Do you think your unique unit is better than the one by #50? - Ramesses

#52: Okay... stop trying to pose all fancy with your hair and stuff. You are the polar opposite of #02 in history.... tsk tsk. - Catherine?

 

[Gwaja]

@Riflin'Joe,

Spoiler :

Only the incorrect ones:

03: Nope. There is someone who has a rather girly nickname in this forum. I think he would rather go by Frankie... after all, that's his real name.

07: Another form nick name thing. Think of another major burger joints that competes with McDonald's.

08: Washington is close, but process of elimination points toward someone else who has a hair like that.

19: Oh no... you were thinking Inca, but it is of different civilization. Pretty close though.

28: Oh this one probably got you confused.. but process of elimination takes Pacal out of this one, since he fits as a better answer on a previous question. That leaves another one who likes chest pumping and needs some clothes on.

29: Not many people are getting this one unfortunately... it is the greeting that this AI says to you upon first contact.

30: Getting 29 means getting 30... yeah Shaka took Genghis' traits from Vanilla, true, but the answer is somewhere else.

33: Good ol Charlie a.k.a. "Burger King" ^_^ I gave you a clue to a previous question by the way... anyways, there is someone with a forum nick name that rhymes with chuckles....

35: How does Darius make you sleepy? Think another nickname....

37: The hardest AI to befriend at the start... this guy is just... such a sociopath, a loner...

42: Was there really a song named "Napoleon?" Well I kinda gave the answer away to this one. Check out the YouTube video link I provide a few posts up. ^_^

48: Actually Tokugawa's start on Earth maps are not that bad... there is someone who has a REALLY bad start though...

52: Since you got #2, think of another woman who is exactly the polar opposite of Lizzy in history. Clue: Liz is widely known as a virgin queen... so the polar opposite must be.... ^_^

Valiant effort! Thanks for playing!

 

[Gwaja]

^_^ Sorry about the topic not quite being about strategy. My response inside your quote in bold letters.

This doesn't seem like strategy and tips to me.

I had a go at some of them. There are a few that baffle me completely.

Spoiler :

#01: Face me when I am talking to you! How long does it take for you to look at me when I am talking to you? Having a headache? - Lincoln

Correct

#02: Oh, such elegance! Love that curtsey. I wish I was so elegant like that! - Elizabeth

Correct

#03: I don't think he likes the way people call him. Frankie sounds more manly than that! - Roosevelt?

Yes, sir. ^_^ Franklin D. Roosevelt ... Frankie sounds better than Roosy.

#04: I used to like the way you looked in Vanilla. Now? Not so much. - Qin or KK

Depends on which one of these two you like better... but yeah KK

#05: Are you from this Earth or are you really an alien? - Suryavarman

Nobody has missed this one. I am surprised!

#06: Quite jumpy, aren't we? Anyways, I don't like you because you are a classic backstabber.

Watch Joao's animation when you first talk to him. ^_^

#07: I think I prefer going to McDonald's than going to your place. - Charlemagne

YAY for Burger King!

#08: I don't know how you men used to wear your hair all that curly and white. Is that even your real hair? - Frederick?

Yes. Most picked Washington for this one.

#09: Joseph McCarthy loves you! ^_^ - Stalin

Nobody has missed this one either.

#10: Are you sure you weren't in that movie... uh... "Silence of the Lambs?" - Hannibal

Correct.

#11: Okay, just exactly what are you doing with your mask on? It looks like as if you are blind and trying to reach for something. - Pericles

Correct.

#12: If Justinian was alive at your time, you probably wouldn't have captured... Oh never mind! - Mehmed

Correct.

#13: The most depressing name for a 2nd city. Really, I prefer rich dads, not poor ones. Sorry! - Sitting Bull

Don't you hate that name... Poverty Point?

#14: Get away from me chubby man! And your arrogance bugs me. "I am the State?" Really? - Louis XIV

Correct.

#15: Speaking of diet... you really need one, girl! ^_^ - Victoria

Correct.

#16: I heard you were quite fond of soaking yourself in blood after a ritual. Maybe that's why you are such a psycho. - Montezuma

Correct.

#17: Oooh, I love that music... is that considered salsa? - Possibly Isabella

Correct.

#18: Nice BEARD you got there. But please stop showing it off. You don't need to constantly be combing it, or whatever it is you are doing with it.

Yeah this guy constantly grooms his beard when you talk to him. Just try talking to Sal.... he does that constantly.

#19: So I am interested in this calendar of your people that is supposed to bring doom to our world. Is this really gonna happen? - Pacal

Darn those Mayan calendar!

#20: Your unique unit is grossly overpowered. At least you are not a warmongering psycho! Say... can you build me some more wonders for me to capture later? - Augustus

Correct.

#21: Stop rubbing your nose already! And no, I don't have any undefended coastal cities for you, thank you very much! - Ragnar

Correct.

#22: Can I hire you as my gardener? I want one of those gardens in my high rise apartment veranda. - Hammurabi

Correct.

#23: I prefer the way you look now, than the way you used to look in Vanilla. - Qin or KK

Yep, obviously the other one that is not an answer of #4.

#24: Your unique unit's battle animation is just too fancy. But then again, I always love fireworks! -Wang Kon

Nobody has missed this one I don't think.

#25: Can you please stop trading away so many techs please? - Mansa Musa

And once again, nobody has missed this one either.

#26: You don't look like someone who is associated with blood and iron. You look too gentle and fragile to be associated with them. - The quote references Bismarck, but I already picked him so I have no idea.

It is indeed Bismarck the Iron Chancellor.

#27: I was wondering why your nation's soccer fans love to show up in games all dressed in that same color, associated with some fruit. Is that because of your name? - Soccer? What is this "soccer"?

Americans call "football" "soccer". They have their own version of American "football." So yeah.... soccer = World Cup = football in Europe and the rest of the world. Have you seen those Dutch fans coming in droves to their stadiums with all Orange shirts?

#28: Stop pounding your chest already! And perhaps you might want to think about getting more clothes on you?

Since this is not Pacal, there is only one dude who fits this description... everyone's beloved Shaka. ^_^

#29: Oh yeah, I am so damn happy to see you too! NOT! - Genghis

Nobody has gotten this on the first try. Only one person has managed to figure it out. Talk to Washington and read what he says to you when you first meet him in game. He says in the lines of "I am so darn happy to see you!" etc.

#30: #29 says "Hey you stole my Vanilla traits!" - Shaka

Since #29 is Washington, this leads to Darius... Financial/Organized.

#31: Say... how long are you gonna be keeping your hands together like that? - Asoka

Correct.

#32: I am sorry, but I don't plan on keeping Nationhood as my civics forever. And your unique unit is terrible. - Bismarck

Ah, but Bizzy is the Iron Chancellor so it has to be one of the other 2 guys who like Nationhood. Redcoats or Musketeers? DeGaulle obviously.

#33: It always gives me the chuckles when people mention your name. - Giglamesh

Good ol Giggles.

#34: You remind me of the movie "Braveheart" in a way. Well, at least you are of the same ethnic origin, right? ^_^ - Brennus

The more I look at him, the more I think of that movie.

#35: I feel.... sleeeeeepy.....

People like calling Napoleon "Nappy" in this forum. ^_^

#36: Wow you got such a temper! Why can't you be like your other countryman in this game and be more gentle for a change? - Alexander

It's pretty hilarious when he gets angry while talking to him.

#37: I wanna be your friend... PLEASE! Uh... maybe not! - Tokugawa?

Yep. The most anti social AI on the planet!

#38: Resistance without violence.... you have my respect, sir! - Gandhi

Correct.

#39: Oh, how magnificent! - Suleiman

Correct.

#40: What did Lenin have against you to change the name of your glorious city like that? At least it is back to the way it was. - Peter

Correct.

#41: Again, I don't plan on sticking around with Nationhood forever. At least your unique unit isn't as bad as the other dude. Or am I downplaying it too much there? ^_^ - DeGaulle

Surely you must prefer redcoats or musketeers? So this must be Churchill.

#42: You know... I swear there is a song named after your name!

Geng... Geng... Genghis Khan! ^_^ Check out the YouTube video link!

#43: Your clothes look like... hmm.. I don't know... a workout jersey or something. Did they actually have clothes like that in your time? - Zara Yaqob?

Yep. Doesn't it really look like that?

#44: Oooh my... your hair style is seriously the worst of everyone. The worst condition of balding ever! - Mao

I am glad I see people sharing my opinion on this subject matter.

#45: It's sad when there is a plague named after your name. At least you didn't die from it.

From around the time of the Black Death... called Justinian's Plague.

#46: You are the cutest leader of all in this game. Such a cute smile at that too. But that hat of yours has got to go! - Hatshepsut

Correct.

#47: Et tu Gwaja? - Julius Caesar

This one too easy huh? ^_^

#48: Remind me again not to play as you on unaltered Earth maps. It's got to be the worst starting condition anyone can ask for. - Never played an Earth map

Try playing as Huayna Capac on Earth maps and you will see what I am talking about. ^_^

#49: Girl...let's see who's got more tattoos... you or me! ^_^ - Boudica

Correct.

#50: Nothing really jumps at me about you... except for that baby blues fabric. - Cyrus

Correct.

#51: I am a little shaky with history... do you come first or #46? Do you think your unique unit is better than the one by #50? - Ramesses

Correct.

#52: Okay... stop trying to pose all fancy with your hair and stuff. You are the polar opposite of #02 in history.... tsk tsk. - Catherine?

Yes. Lizzy the virgin queen... Cathy the.... I don't know if there is an appropriate nickname to give for her rather extravagant sex life... completely polar opposite.

Thanks for playing!

 

[NihilZero]

Hey, I didn't do too bad. As for the soccer reference, I was joking about the fact that I don't watch it or know anything about it, I do know what it is. Although I probably should have guessed that one anyway, pretty obvious really...

I saw Hatshi in an old "tales from the crypt" episode

For a 1st try, you did remarkably well. I admit some of the questions were a bit iffy, but in the end, I hope they all made sense. ^_^

 

[Gwaja]

@Mylene,

Is that really Hatty or could it be Nefrartiti? Anyways, it's been a while since I watched any of those Tales of the Crypt episodes. ^_^

Hey by the way... why don't you take a crack at this? Unless you saw all the answers. ^_^

 

[Mylene]

I don't know, but it looked good
Love Tales from the Crypt, now that was a series!
...and yip i checked the answers already, fun thread thou

 

[iggymnrr]

I'm working on the whole list. The plague one is interesting. IIRC Constantinople got stopped in it's tracks by a plague when trying to reclaim some of the old western empire. Anyhoo I'll append my list shortly.

Are they still running this series on TV these days?

I'm working on the whole list. The plague one is interesting. IIRC Constantinople got stopped in it's tracks by a plague when trying to reclaim some of the old western empire. Anyhoo I'll append my list shortly.

Looking forward to it. Maybe you might even get all of them right on the 1st try! ^_^

That might be Nefertiti

edit: Ah...I see Gwaja already brought that up....guess i should keep reading before posting. Anyway, it looks just like her. My Mom had a bust of her in the house when I was young

[Gwaja]

@iggymnrr,

Wow... the best effort so far in one shot. You managed to get everything right, except 3 of them: ^_^

Spoiler :

19: You are thinking Inca here, but, it is not. ^_^

28: There is another dude who loves to pound his chest and needs some more clothes. Pacal is eliminated because he fits better as an answer to another question.

48: I don't think Shaka even exists on Earth maps by default. There is another AI that has a horrible start though... not much wiggle room and terrible land.

Had you gotten #19 right, you would have gotten everything correct!

 

[lymond]

I thought the Shaka one was easy but everyone seems to be getting it wrong. Can't think of another leader who does that....

 

[iggymnrr]

Oh now it is easy. I was thinking of a mad RPC game with the earth map where #48 was a problem not #28. No excuse for getting #19 wrong though.

Spoiler :

19. Pacal
28. Shaka
48. H.C.

 

[Gwaja]

Great job, iggy! ^_^ You've got them all right!

Maybe I should do another one of these in the General Discussions Forum. ^_^
