I suspect it's the weakest leader bonus, yeah. Himikos and Baroque Freddie pending, ofc.Rizal's ability seems really passive and boring to me. But people seem to like it, so...
Unless leading the Mississippians.doesn't set my world on fire
Central America already has the MayaNelson Mandela? Central America is lacking any age any civ.
Religious buildings provide Happiness. Culture and Happiness are the signal she's a religious leader. Kind of.are Culture and Happiness even that related, outside of vibes?
She will work well enough with Majapahit, won't she? I suppose I can see the vision. Kind of.Religious buildings provide Happiness. Culture and Happiness are the signal she's a religious leader. Kind of.
I have almost no gaydar whatsoever, but I definitely did not get that impression from Friedrich.Friedrich - A - Amazing choice, and I am LIVING that they characterized him as a sassy, snarky gay man, with matching voice. I relate so much <3
I suspect the Baroque design was actually from the later (posthumous) portraits of him. During his lifetime he is shown largely in Prussian blue or very dark clothing, afterwards and through the 19th century he seems to have been increasingly portrayed in very bright Indigo Blue clothing, which would not have been completely out of place while he was alive as court dress, but definitely would not have matched his militaristic contemporary image.I have almost no gaydar whatsoever, but I definitely did not get that impression from Friedrich.
His abilities are among the best in the game; I love getting free Infantry units, and his ability to steal Great Works in his Baroque persona turns Prussia into the Raiders of the Lost Ark Germans that I was hoping to channel.
I do find the Baroque outfit extremely gaudy, however; I wish there were an option to chose which skin you want, instead of them being tied to the mechanical abilities.
Still, I'll be taking Friedrich and Prussia on a Last Crusade for the Holy Grail on my second playthrough, right after Lafayette
It's surprisingly hard to pick up sass in German if you don't speak it (German not sass) - I thought it would be universally translated a bit more. I guess "complex persona" is the new euphemism for being gay? I'll have to try that one in conversation.Friedrich - A - Amazing choice, and I am LIVING that they characterized him as a sassy, snarky gay man, with matching voice. I relate so much <3
Frederick's feisty in his little dialogue, which makes him the sassiest leader so far.It's surprisingly hard to pick up sass in German if you don't speak it (German not sass) - I thought it would be universally translated a bit more.
