I think the Genghis Khan is too ugly!
And Sulieman of the Turks way too fat!

One seriously looks like a monster who needs to see a dentist and the other one needs to attend a diet center after eating too much baklava...

here are the pics (some comparisons, some I picked up off the net)

You aren't kidding! GenghisKhan got the **** beat out of him with an UGLY stick, no make that an UGLY FOREST.. It's so bad he doesn't even look human. Is it me or do the new Leader flcs from Firaxis seem to be a MUCH lower quality than the ones we're making ourselves and uploading for free?

NEW MISSION: After my Amazon flics I'm making a Genghis Khan set just to show up Firaxis........

And I'm going to email it to them.....

Ok, I see your point about Genghis Khan, especially when compared to the other pictures.

But do you have any pictures of Sulieman? Or do you have something against fat people?
 
no I have nothing against fat people, heck I could lose a few pounds here myself :) Just thought that the Turkish Sultan didn't have that somethign about him, you know? Power, royalty etc.. but he still is better than Genghis Khan :D

here are some Ottoman Sultans:

I agree with the fact that they are way off. Fat One has a picture which in my opinion too bright! Ugly One looks nothing like the real thing but I still think he looks so ugly it is cool so I have no problem with that. I would use genghis in a game any day! Mostly because they are all about the military. I think a cool UU for Genghis would be a guy who is rapped up in spider webs. I know it sounds wierd but he used walk his military through a whole lot of spider webs so they would be protected since spider webs are so dang strong.
 
Don't forget, the portraits wouldn't make him out to look ugly. If the portraits and pictures made him out to look bad then the painter would no doubt be killed, therefore they used to make the person on the other side of the canvas look beutiful even if he was dog ugly. So you never know, Ghengis could have looked like that...

Plus how fun will it be to have him begging for peace? *g*
 
Ghenghis looked damn ugly in Civ I...so lay off Civ III :p

I can't really say any of the leaderheads are flattering, professional or amateur.
 
i already see him saying:all your base are belong to us and he smiles at me...
im getting a heart-attack..
and i think ottomans are good to be fat kings where fat so its no prob
 
First time interaction with the Mongols:

"Greetings, I am Genghis Khan. Has your civilization discovered Dentistry?"
 
The Turkish guy only looks fat because (I think) of the screen proportions, I've a feeling that his picture was stretched to fit the video format.
