Leader depiction elimination thread

[KayAU]

Catherine de' Medici - 7
Chandragupta Maurya - 20 (23 - 3) A nice model, but seriously...likes you if you are far away, hates you if you are nearby?
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 18
Gitarja - 27
Gorgo - 19
Harald Hardrada - 8 (7 + 1) Visually appealing garments and colors, physically imposing leader.
Hojo Tokimune - 29
Jadwiga - 20
Jayavarman VII - 19
John Curtin - 9
Lautaro - 22
Peter the Great - 22
Poundmaker - 25
Seondeok - 22

Catherine de' Medici - 7
Chandragupta Maurya - 20
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 18
Gitarja - 27
Gorgo - 19
Harald Hardrada - 8
Hojo Tokimune - 29
Jadwiga - 20
Jayavarman VII - 16 (19-3) His design is well done, but something about his voice feels off. It doesn't entirely fit for some reason.
John Curtin - 9
Lautaro - 23 (22 + 1) Still one of my favorite leaders. Very expressive in his reactions and body language. I don't understand the language but his voice acting feels well done. You can feel the anger in his voice when you betray him, the confusion and disbelief when he comments on your people's lack of loyalty; the admiration when he likes you and your civilization, or his heartbroken words when you defeat him. That sword he keeps around is such a nice touch considering Lautaro's history.
Peter the Great - 22
Poundmaker - 25

Kimiimaro did you upvote someone too? I only see the downvote in your last post.

Catherine de' Medici - 7
Chandragupta Maurya - 20
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 18
Gitarja - 27
Gorgo - 19
Harald Hardrada - 8 - 3 = 5 (Not fearsome at all, too cartoonish by far, and portrayed as a typical pagan Viking king--where are the references to his Christian identity, or his time in the Varangian Guard? Bah! This fool outlasted Amanitore even though he's way more cartoonish and ahistorical!
Hojo Tokimune - 29
Jadwiga - 20
Jayavarman VII - 16
John Curtin - 9 + 1 = 10 (Though I resent Australia's presence in the game, I am a big fan of how Curtin was portrayed--historically fairly accurate, vigorously voiced (declare war on him and you'll see), and with an agenda that fits his historical character.
Lautaro - 23
Peter the Great - 22
Poundmaker - 25
Seondeok - 22

Catherine de' Medici - 7
Chandragupta Maurya - 20
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 18
Gitarja - 27
Gorgo - 19
Harald Hardrada - (5-3)=2 Stop portraying "Viking" leaders who were actually Christians as pagans! Also, he probably should have been blonde. I think the real Hardrada was described as having fair hair in an historical account.
Hojo Tokimune - 29
Jadwiga - 20
Jayavarman VII - 16
John Curtin -10
Lautaro - 23
Peter the Great - 22
Poundmaker - (25+1)=26 Even without the Hudson Bay Company blanket, he resembles the real-life leader fairly well. Downvoting him for the "controversy" seems like a poor reason, what does that have to do with how Firaxis portrayed him in-game?
Seondeok - 22
Shaka - 12
Teddy Roosevelt - 22
Tomyris - 5

Will Hojo Tokimune run away with the game? It's a pretty inaccurate depiction of the real life man, who apparently resembled a Buddhist monk with a shaved head.

Kimiimaro did you upvote someone too? I only see the downvote in your last post.

Totally forgot that. Could either @Guandao or someone in the next post give a point to Catherine? I'll add the reason to my post.

Catherine de' Medici - 7-3=4 Her mischievous smile when threatening to discover my secrets is unnerving.

[Weraptor]

@MantaRevan necroed Harald and misassigned some points

 

[HoorayForSiam]

Catherine de' Medici - 6 (5+1) While there are certainly some better leader choices for France, her mannerisms and leader sayings make her a lot of fun to play against.
Chandragupta Maurya - 20
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 15 (18-3) Looks less like the fearsome conqueror and warlord that he was and more like “Mongolian frat dude”.

Note: Reassigned the points that got shuffled around in @MantaRevan ‘s comment and slayed the undead Harald Hardrada.

 

[Kimiimaro]

@HoorayForSiam - you've missed Jayavarman VII - he has 18 points.

@MantaRevan please, change your downvote.

[Kimiimaro]

Catherine de' Medici - 7 + 1 = 8 Just a really fun leader imo

Shouldn't she be 7? She was six in the corrected post

 

[Weraptor]

Yeah, she should. Must have overlooked.

Catherine de' Medici - 7
Chandragupta Maurya - 20
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 15
Gitarja - 27
Gorgo - 20 (19+1) She's the character that I think is most consistent. You're a warrior? Praise. Make peace? Despises you.
Hojo Tokimune - 26 (29-3) He's just OK to me. His headpiece looks a little odd (though possibly historically accurate). And he looks a little like he's on coke when he gives his paranoid shake of the head when he disagrees with you.

Catherine de' Medici - 8 (7+1) gotta give her an upvote before her enemies take her out. I love her animations.
Chandragupta Maurya - 20
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 15
Gitarja - 24 (27-3) I like her look, but her upper lip looks slightly off. And she betrayed me in the last two games she showed up in. The first was fine - I needed the achievement. But the next game, too?

Catherine de' Medici - 8
Chandragupta Maurya - 20
Cyrus the Great - 21
Genghis Khan - 12 (15 - 3) Nothing against the leader, but his design looks just off. He's supposed to be menacing/intimidating but I don't get that feeling with him.
Gitarja - 24
Gorgo - 20
Hojo Tokimune - 26
Jadwiga - 20
Jayavarman VII - 18
John Curtin - 11 (10 + 1) Maybe in a sense not the most exciting leader. But I like his design and the atmosphere that surrounds him.

Catherine de' Medici - 8
