Maria Theresa: She's rude, pompous, and arrogant. Perfect for a queen.
Sejong: It seems too ... peaceful? I'm not sure how to describe it. He has no personality.

+1 Pocatello - We can't seriously be axing this guy this early can we? The landscape is amazing, and I love his perch on the rocks - so unpretentious, and he needs no man-made opulence to be a leader possessing gravity and authority. Also: EAGLE!

-3 Augustus - Yeah, the arguments people are making make sense to me, and I feel like he is the last of the bottom tier leaderscreens. Once he is gone, I think the voting actually gets a little tougher for eliminating.

Bismarck: I kinda like the way he stands proudly in his screen. You can see in his posture that he's thinking: "Yes, you're darn right I should be the leader. Kaiser Wilhelm I turned in sick, so I filled in for him." And then he gets angry and looks like he wants to personally strangle you to death.

Augustus Caesar: His throne is facing me (the player) directly, yet the jerk does not look at you. LOOK AT ME! He does this intentionally to anger me! Argh! Someone do the honours and eliminate him.

-3 Bismarck: Almost all leaderscreens that remain are great, with Bismarck as exception. A fairly uninteresting and undetailed background can't be allowed at this stage of elimination. Furthermore the colours are bland and the German language never impressed me.

+1 Isabella: Take a drink everytime she sais "dios". I'm surprised her score is this high when I've heard a lot of criticism directed towards her voice, which is definitely not a great acting performance, but somehow this backfires (frontfires?) to create this zealot 12-year old God-fangirl trapped in a queen's body which is pretty funny. Muy bien. Background is really good too.

William - 20 - a very comfy cabinet (and outfit....did you see those shoes? :goodjob:).
Haile Selassie - 20 - it's a good screen, but not as good as other leaderscreens in the current "20+ club", especially seeing how Bismark in a similar setup is almost out.

MARIA I
As per my post on page 1.

GENGHIS KHAN
Genghis Khan, fearsome military leader, and conqueror or many lands. His name is so recognizable that just saying it gives you an impression of what this terrifying military mastermind would have looked and acted liked. Rabid guy alone in some random field, however, is not one of those impressions. I honestly have no idea how this guy made it this far while Gustavus didn't. Yeah, his facial hair is wrong (Burn the developers!), but just about everything is wrong with Khan's leaderscreen. Not only does Khan himself not look too fearsome or imposing (His general demeanor bears more resemblance to an overly-excited child), but his environment is appallingly lacking, for someone such as himself.
 
Seeing as a lot of people are complaining about the languages that the leaders speak, I'm surprised that Atilla's not out yet.

Yeah...Attila speaks unintelligible gibberish and may or may not resemble the real-life person, while Gustavus looks like the wrong king but speaks actual Swedish. What's wrong with this picture?
 
Harun al-Rashid - 23
Ashurbanipal - 27 - That's how Babylon must be done, portraying the glory, power and beauty of the Fertile Crescent.
Maria Theresa - 13-1=12
Montezuma - 30 - Gotta love that friendly tzompantli welcoming the visitors.
Theodora - 25
Dido - 20 - She's a very feminine and softly character, the moonlight and the calm sea fits perfectly.

Isabella - 24

Shaka - 20


Pocatello - Perfect portrait of the Shoshone culture and plains peoples as well. A Simple image doesn't mean empty.

Maria Theresa - Meh, too generic. Nothing really unique or special that makes it different from the other castle scenes. The only good thing of this one are the mountains.
 
Zipa_DH, the vote is "+1, -3" not vice versa....fixed your vote.
