They probably went with Tokimune because they wanted a spiritual, defensive Japan. I fully expect his leader bonus to include a Dojo Barracks replacement that provides faith.

Depends. I'm fine with either. If there's a nation and leader bonus, it gives nations more flexibility, which is a plus, instead of having to swap nations entirely.

Besides, it felt like with Civ 5 DLC/expansions, some nations just got thrown in for the sake of expanding the roster, instead of having cool, well-developed ones

it's more that if they wanted to add a legit great female leader she makes for a good choice, and instead it's the meme leader everyone knows

They really don't anon. Most people don't know shit about history, or anything. You could easily find lots of people in the US who don't know who the first president was. You're grossly overestimating people's knowledge.

Marketers give a shit about what people know. You wonder why the first two leaders shown are the American leader and Cleopatra ? Because they have the most appeal. Americans think "Civilization ?

Again, that doesn't work. They could've chosen literally anyone for Egypt and just have shown off another civ in their place. They always have a bunch of new leaders and civs, no reason why specifically Egypt needs someone well-known.
>>
I like both multiple leaders and civs, and maybe leaders are a priority so that people can play around the new gimmick. But I just dislike having to buy and keep up with the DLC's since they are somewhat expensive (compared to DLC from other games) and there are at least 2 of them, still they are good new content and add a lot of replay value to the game.

If there were a way to unlock the new stuff once and for all (buy the full edition for $X more) or unlock them via playtime (a nice reward for dedicated players) I would like it a lot more. I know this is how Civ has been working for the last releases, but a more Street Fighter V approach to the business might help imo.

They could have given another leader for Egypt, but then they'd need an equally known civilization among normies, with a leader everyone knows.

Only other options I see is Rome and Julius Caesar. France and Napoleon, the mongols and Genghis Khan or some modern leader you'll never see again in a civ game like Stalin or Hitler.
Anon, you NEED well known characters to market your game. Otherwise you'd have people go "Who the fuck is this, what is this game, I don't want complicated history in my game".

They were not "made up by some German historian to explain Hellanized Romans", they were called byzantines by Jerome Wolf, which was not the term they themselves used (they called themselves romans).

Man, this is not camgirls man. This was actually a feat to do. Especially in fucking china. To be have both those things, to be accepted by your country and not be over shadowed, that's pretty fucking huge.

Is Firaxis even aware that there were actual Byzantine empresses? Why not use Irene of Athens?

There's literally nothing wrong with using female leaders so long as they are historically relevant and not memes

Don't be retarded, Byzantium is what we call the Medieval Roman Empire, nothing more. That's what they called themselves, "Romaioi", not "Hellenes" or "Graecoi"

You can't be serious, there is political, territorial and cultural continuation between the Roman Empire of the 4th century and what we call Byzantium, not to metion that "Romaioi" is what the people identified themselves as. That is not the case of the HRE, there is no continuation whatsoever, and the people identified as a bunch of different peoples.

That said, I would like and HRE civ with Frederick Barbarossa as leader (or have Barbarossa as the leader of Germany)

>From an evolutionary standpoint, Byzantium was a multi-ethnic empire that emerged as a Christian empire, soon comprised the Hellenised empire of the East, and ended its thousand-year history, in 1453, as a Greek Orthodox state: an empire that became a nation, almost by the modern meaning of the word.[89] The presence of a distinctive and historically rich literary culture was also very important in the division between "Greek" East and "Latin" West and thus the formation of both.[90] It was a multi-ethnic empire where the Hellenic element was predominant, especially in the later period.[87]

>Spoken language and state, the markers of identity that were to become a fundamental tenet of nineteenth-century nationalism throughout Europe became, by accident, a reality during a formative period of medieval Greek history.[91] Beginning in the twelfth century, certain Byzantine Greek intellectuals began to use the ancient Greek ethnonym Héllēn (Greek: Ἕλλην) in order to describe Byzantine civilisation.[92]

>During the later period of the Byzantine Empire, Emperor Theodore I Laskaris (r. 1205–1222) tried to revive Hellenic tradition by fostering the study of philosophy, for in his opinion there was a danger that philosophy "might abandon the Greeks and seek refuge among the Latins". In a letter to Pope Gregory IX, the Byzantine emperor John Vatatzes (r. 1221–1254) claimed to have received the gift of royalty from Constantine the Great, and put emphasis on his "Hellenic" descent, exalting the wisdom of the Greek people. He was presenting Hellenic culture as an integral part of the Byzantine polity in defiance of Latin claims.[93]

You didn't post the source where you cited that, famalan.
Nothing you posted disproves anything I said. The state was called "the Roman Empire", the people identifiead as "Romaioi", the laws was the Roman Law, and the form of government was Roman, what a group of intellectuals thought doesn't erase that, and neither erase the obvious continuities between both polities.

>>344040461
The greentexter was in fact referring to Byzantium, not the Roman Empire from antiquity, because that's exactly what the guy he was quoting was talking about. It doesn't even make any sense for him to greentext an implication about SPQR because it has literally nothing to do with the comparison he was responding to, nor does it make sense as a separate point, especially not one to reply with in >implication form as a counterpoint.

Not once was SPQR brought up in the chain, and if you think that guy was referring to it because he said "Roman Empire", you're even more retarded than I gave you credit for.

Never breed.
