I call Civ6 in general the Shirtless Men edition: there are more male leaders without shirts than with them.
So?
Atm there are 17 male leaders whose torso is wholly covered, 8 where it isn't.
Not excited until seeing somebody pantless.
Well, Montezuma only wears a loincloth, hat, that weird feather thing on his back, and jewels, but not pants...
At this sense, Trajan is also pantless.
You're welcome to your own opinion of what makes a worthwhile leader. But others have other ideas. And Firaxis has said from the beginning they want big personalities for this game. Since they make the decisions, you'll probably be continue to be disappointed with some of their choices.
I think having big personality isn't mutually exclisive with being achiever/builder/conqueror. Is it?
I'm certain there are leaders that meet both yours and their criteria, but the discussion of Catherine shows that there are some who meet theirs but not yours. I hope you're happy with some of Firaxis' choices.
Er, not really.
That was kind of her strong suit. She did sort of establish herself as a surrogate Virgin Mary.
Elizabeth I had a knack for making people love her.To be fair, though, that was often one of the few options open to women who wanted power: to get it by manipulating, controlling, or influencing the man who people believed to have the power. In a world where constant warfare was a reality of life and women were deemed "the weaker sex," many subjects doubted a woman's ability to rule (Elizabeth I faced this her entire reign, for instance). A woman basically had to prove herself twice as good as a man in order to rule in her own right--which, of course, is why women rulers who managed it were often among the best rulers of their civilization.
Well, there's the fact that "England" and "the United Kingdom" aren't really the same entity, so there's that--but no one seems to have told Firaxis.
At least cultural France is a stereotype that makes sense: France has been known as a cultural hub since the High Middle Ages. Why is Korea a perpetual science civ? It's been a scientific leader for the past couple decades, but that's not the Korea we're representing.
(IMO in Civ6's model science bonuses should be attached to leaders like Seondeok and Sejong, sure, but the civ itself should be cultural and/or religious.)You mean Mary, Queen of Scots? In a moment of hypocrisy I'm going to say she'd actually have been an interesting choice.
Plus it would have been easier to find a VA for her with more inflection than the speaking corpse voicing Robert. Of course, I wasn't really a fan of including Scotland in the first place, especially with its mishmash design; I would have preferred Ireland.Well, it reminds me old Soviet joke.
