At first I thought Leopold with the "100% Harvest Production at Farms harvesting Cocoa" referred to Leopold II's horrific treatment of the Congolese. But turns out its Leopold I.
If you tell it to produce food rather than the resource it might be a viable exploit if it applies that bonus to whatever you produce on that cocoa tile
I would at least played a full game with more than half of them before saying that we could have this or that. The people that make these silly demands don't even buy games.
@@3choblast3r4 civ 7 is putting confucius, the guy was unemployed for most of his life and he was never a governor. The idea seems to be bring random historical figures as leaders. You are mostly right about eva peron, she was mostly a propaganda tool for peron and she never held a position in government. She did take part in behind the scenes politics and ended up like a type of pop saint like Jackie Kennedy though.
13:22 As a French, I'm happy to see Jeanne d'Arc as France's leader. I was really fed up all the time with seeing Napoleon as France's leader in all the games similar to civ, as if we hadn't had any other outstanding people in my country's history.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm definitely one of the people that prefer actual leaders to be leaders in these games and not random people. I know it's just a game and not supposed to he historically accurate, but it just feels odd to play as someone who never actual led that country. That's just me
Kinda disappointed the leaders don't have unique background art but I guess it's the tradeoff of having so many. Also, is there different music for different civs?
Yea, this is really a great untold history game! There is no Ottoman Empire, and you need to skip from the 12th to the 20th centuries. Let's see what ChatGPT says about those centuries: At its height, the Ottoman Empire controlled vast territories that stretched across three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. The boundaries included: Europe: Parts of Eastern Europe, including modern-day Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Greece, and much of the Balkans, extending as far as the gates of Vienna. Asia: Large areas of the Middle East, including modern-day Türkiye, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Africa: Significant territories in North Africa, including Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria. Crimea: The Crimean Khanate, an Ottoman vassal state, included the Crimean Peninsula, parts of southern Ukraine, the lower Dnieper River basin, and the northern shores of the Sea of Azov. This region was a crucial northern defense line for the empire. These vast territories made the Ottoman Empire one of the largest and most powerful states of its time, dominating crucial trade routes and exerting significant political and military influence.
@@obuw1 The depiction of Hagia Sophia in Byzantine art is from after the Ottoman period; during the Byzantine era, Hagia Sophia did not have minarets. I don't think they are very good with history. :D
To all the people complaining about non-political leaders and female ones, you are all gonna be so disappointed in Civ7. Civ7 has non-political leaders like Ben Franklin and Confucius. And I'm sure they will include plenty of female leaders.
grave mistakes both games is guilty of, and another stupid mistake is the nonsensical bs of not having a specific nation to play as and instead force us to make some stupid nonsensical frankenstein's monster of multiple cultures, no idea why anyone want to spend money on these shit games.
i'm unfamiliar with 4X games, so go easy on me.. do you have a video that outlines what each trait and parameter actually does and its implications in the overall game? like what does knowledge affect, what is War Weariness and how does that give an attacker an advantage, how exactly does health and strength work?... very basic stuff, i know..
Probably part of an earlier dev build, accidentally mentioned or shown somewhere for a short moment, then cut for release and intended for a later DLC possibly.
I like that we have Poland, but besides that why we have 2 leaders for Germany and Korea and no representación whatsoever of Scandinavia or Balkans (besides Greece). Why most of the rulers are queens? Only male monarch is Charlemagne or asian/african rulers. Byzantium has really weird choice of a ruler Theodora or Justinian would be much better. They added Palmyra for some reason while there is no Carthage. Idk this game seems really lacking. Hopefully it will be fun to play at least and we get more civs down the road Btw. Nefretiti didn't promote and spread Atenism her husband Aekhnaton did create it and spread it. Nefretiti killed Atenism and brought back old egyptian gods
Attila the Hun Tong Yabghu Qaghan of the Khazar Khaganate Timur, the mixed Mongol-Türkic warlord and founder of his own dynasty Sultan Murad IV of the Ottoman Empire Coming soon
Game never advertised itself as 100% historically accurate, so if your complaints are about women leading countries they never led, you are very much so barking up the wrong tree, or playing the wrong game. There are plenty of games out there that cater to your..."tastes".
I find the leader abilities in Ara to be kinda lame to be honest. There are basically no leaders that let you break the game's rules, or give unique buildings or units. It's all just flat and percentage bonuses.
One month after the release, the game only had a peak of about 300 people per day on Steam. It has basically been declared a failure. Apart from the problems with the gameplay itself. I think the country and the leader are also a big problem. They are unattractive. It is the product of the contradiction between political correctness and stereotypes. In 2024, we still can't customize the leader or gender in the game. Why can't we customize the characteristics of the country? Just like the Civilization series, Japan always has a lot of samurai, why can't I influence the world through the animation industry in the game? 4x games have never made progress. Always spinning in place. Just upgraded the graphics.
The leader choices in this game are absolutely abysmal. Why is an actress among them ffs? Why copernicus? Half these nations don't even make sense, left out major empires and nations but added multiple super obscure native tribes. EDIT, jus counted it because I knew it had to be so .. they did everything they could to make it as close to 50/50 as possible. That's why there are so many strange choices for leaders (20 women / 21 men).. but I'm 99% sure some of these aren't even in my game. I'm also sure I thought Genghis Khan was in this game at least.
@tseantan News flash the world doesn't consist of the US. And I'm 99% sure the average American can't even name the apache when asked to name native tribes.
@@3choblast3r4 So What? This game is made in the USA. You want obscure European nations like San Marino and Estonia? You are definitely a teenager with your "news flash" talk.
Cause there were many influential women in history people often do not know about. Why not feature them? Especially since there are still many men featured too
@@IDH2008"Still many men featured" I have to disagree. Besides Chyngis Chan most of these men are civilians or pacifist rulers. If the poets are so important why doesn't England have Shakespeare, but Elisabeth?
@Pigraider268 "Most of the men are civilians or pacifist rulers" What are you talking about? Of the 23 male leaders in this game, 20 of them were heads of state and/or government at some point. Of those, I don't think I could see one that could be considered "pacifist"
@@collinhicks37 yes, you are right. now I could check the game. 16 woman leaders? They should make leaders of bouth sex to each civ. whould be much better.

Cocoa is very abundant so it’s a weird/potentially useless trait
@@TacticatGaming abudant means a lot. If there is a lot of cocoa then isnt it good?

No rubbery trees here!
Game has 41 leaders and all anyone in the comments can do is complain about who ISN'T in it. 😂
because the great majority of leaders in the game are completely nonsensical.. an actress for argentina? really? copernicus?
@@3choblast3r4 Eva Peron wasn't just an actress, She was married to Juan Peron, the dictator of Argentina.

also, most likely we will have more, like Civ normally do
The leaders all have passive abilities, which makes them all feel samey
I really hope they add more leaders. I'm sad we don't have Nobunaga for Japan, though I imagine they might add more leaders going on.
I’m sure they will add lots more
Not Lord Oda, but Minamoto no Yoritomo (first Shogun ever) and Emperor Meiji (ruler of Japan after the Tokugawas)
@@royasturias1784 And Hirohito ?...
@@AntoineleRenard Disqualified, alongside General Tojo
So no theodora then for byzantine then. Plus that lady was a vicious ruler.
Looks to be a keeper with long legs potentially if the developers keep pushing out more leaders, maps and modding.
I just learnt about this game. This is what I'd like to play instead of Civ 7.
Hello, it seems some leader like Elizabeth and Washington have Skins that seem to have more drastic model changes, can you show them off?
It is clear that there were problems in the selection process for the leader of this game.
Amazing choices of leaders! Yu Gwan-sun looks so much like her
Why no venice that would be a game changer as well.
no Brazil or Brazilian civ? that a bummer
@@MetnePoKa they honestly put eva peron in for argentina before they put Brazil lol
I like how they did the trait style just like Civ 4 which im a big fan of. I hope the game is moddable.

@@3choblast3r4 Ye I know. It's really weird feel incomplete and sometimes even censored
Scandinavian countries are rarely represented in these types of games. My dad had to mod in Denmark in the first civ game
How is there no Turkey???
🦃
Grande video.
I chose Catherine for my 1st game, +1 City early game is huge, and the rest of the bonuses are really good.
She’s top shelf for sure
No Turks?
Attila the Hun
