Leader Videos: Am I Doing It Wrong?

[GigaNerd]

When I check the Civ V website, there aren't any videos for Wu Zetian, Alexander, Gandhi, Hiawatha, Oda Nobunaga, Suleiman the Magnificent, Darius, Augustus Caesar, Catherine groucho, Ramkhamhaeng, or Askia. Instead, there's only pre-release artwork.

HOWEVER,

There are several threads (e.g. "Translations of Leaders' Speeches", "All Leader Videos Uploaded to YouTube") that claim the existence of videos for these leaders. Unfortunately, the YouTube uploads have been deleted by Take Two aargh:), so I can't view them.

Would someone be so kind as to tell me what the problem is? Am I doing it wrong? Or was I simply unlucky? Cursed by 2K Elizabeth?

Seriously, where are the videos?



Thank you,

You are not doing it wrong. I can't see them either.

 

[Lillefix]

They were probably unfinished and taken away.

 

[2K Greg]

You were unlucky

Those that got to see them were lucky enough to get a sneak peek

I can't figure out the filenames for Wu Zetian and Ramkhamhaeng. Anyone willing to try?

I got Wu!

Anybody wanna try Siam? Will continue to try to crack the code.....


EDIT: Can anybody also try to find Harun for me? I know he available on the site but I wanna try and collect them all

I'm using DownloadHelper on Firefox, so I have the magic ability of finding .flv files for pretty much any and all sites.

Here's the links to the other leaders:

@lifelessgamer: Good work with Wu! God knows how they've misspelled Ramkhamhaeng...

Thanks for the vids !
I missed the short window too.
What I find a bit weird is that the leaders seem to have different art-styles. Some look more cartoonish (Oda) and some more realistic (Augustus). I prefer the more realistic look although Augustus looks like a nerd. Reminds me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.

They were probably unfinished and taken away.

Perhaps that's the reason?

those wish to see pics from the now "historic" videos: here

 

[OMG!!!]

Perhaps that's the reason?

Hopefully!

The first impression is pure beauty. And Wu is hot.
BUT: I still hate it that the appearances don't change with the eras like in Civ3 To look at some half-naked guy with feathers in the hair in the jungle in the modern era kills any good atmosphere.
