[LP] Leader Spotlight: Ludwig II

[Eagle Pursuit]

I'm sure @Laurana Kanan will add those neat pics. I have no idea where she gets them.

He has such a stentorian voice for a little man!

 

[InsidiousMage]

Its is just me or does his introduction feel long. Like, its not actually longer than what's normal but it feels like its twice the length given the way he's talking.

The Swan King

I am Ludwig of Bavaria, King of these lands and the embodiment of the Swan-Knight of legend.​

​

I wish to remain an eternal enigma to myself and to others.​

Yes, it is longer than usual.

To me, his voice is not that unique, though (or to say, not in a "mad king" or "artistic" feel). But I will definitely play with him. Hopefully, he will have an interesting LA.

"Brought Bavaria into the German empire."

More like forced by Prussia to join.

Doesn't he sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger? Also Bavarian 😏

Arnold is not Bavarian.

 

[brewgod]

Schwarzenegger is from Austria!

 

[Josephias]

Close enough (other side of the Alps) but yep, not Bavaria

I think the model now looks considerably better than before.

 

[Cerilis]

Oh no... dunno if it's just having german as my native language, but he sounds kinda, uh, cringe... ^^"

 

[Weraptor]

as someone who speaks German fairly well, yup he does

 

[Venceslau Pietro Pietra]

I still would have prefered more unique choice of colours, but he looks way better in move, If they had released only the art with the statues heads instead of the 3 face pics and revealed the models only in the spotlights we would complain way less about the pass overall, those intial tweets are misleading sometimes

 

[Cooleatack]

Is it me, or are his mouth movements not in sync with the voice?

 

[Cooleatack]

I do like the narcissistic vibe he gives off. Hope he is difficult to play against, so you love to hate him.

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

They aren't. Hopefully it's just a YouTube thing, and not in-game.

The reference to patron of the arts makes me wonder if he is going to get Great Musician points. He did have a private concert hall for Richard Wagner in Neuschwanstein.

If so, I can see amphitheaters, maybe wonders, granting those. He'll need early slots for music in amphitheaters too.

I wouldn't put much stock in any of these references or his dialogue having anything to do with his gameplay. For example, Ramses II's quote and his dialogue had people predicting some ability based on combat or military units.

I'd be curious how many leaders' introductions actually relate to their abilities. I'd image its fairly low.
