She wasn't a very attractive person in real life tbqh.
>>341482617
apparently, but civ isnt really a history simulator
>>341482617
Meet her did you?
>>341482824
Not him, but no. However, there are period accounts that praise her personal charm and presence while suggesting she wasn't particularly good-looking. The coins also show her with masculine features (although for propaganda reasons they that might be deliberate, in order to give an impression of strength).
>>341481716
>Cleopatra
why not use hatshepsut
What's this? Civilization 6?
>>341483460
>>341483724
Supposedly they are trying to give AI players stronger personality with agendas and Cleopatra has a well-known for wooing powerful men (Caesar and Mark Antony) which is ought to translate to the AI seeking alliances with powerful military powers.
They blatantly ripped Cleopatra look from the Rome series.
>>341483989
To my knowledge there's no statues that have clearly been attributed to be her.
>>341482406
theres just something about women that look like this that make me want to fuck mercilessly
>>341483460
>there are period accounts that praise her personal charm and presence while suggesting she wasn't particularly good-looking.
Which accounts?
>The coins also show her with masculine features
Perhaps that's because every Ptolemaic coin ever minted featured an image of Ptolemy I. Cleopatra's silver staters simply reworked the same image that had been used for the previous 300 years.

in history everything is "believed to be" anon
>>341484914
It's Bismark again iirc
>>341481716
Cleopatra was Greek/Macedonian, descendant of the Ptolmeic dynasty that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great blew through there a few hundred years prior.
She was the first of her lineage to actually learn egyptian and was liked by the natives, but anyone who represents her as a north african is wroooooong
>>341484914
I'd rather have hitler
>>341481965
jeez anon
cleo would ruin so many dicks with a figure like hers and being 1 billion % more intelligent too.
>>341485170
Was there an actual upset about this?
Not the WE WUZ KANGS N SHIET but specifically Cleo in Civ VI
>>341484757
HYPE
I'm tired of England getting Elizabeth. It's time for some modern leaders.
>>341485512
I'm pretty sure no one actually cares and it's just /v/ making up shit to meme about.
>>341481716
Why is she wearing those grabs? It was Hellenistic period.
>>341481965
Does not look Greek to me, to you?
>>341484540
Plutarch and Cassius Dio, for example. Of course, they weren't contemporary to Cleopatra and didn't see her with their own eyes, but they might have (and probably did) original sources not available to us today.
I'm not an expert in Roman history by any means, but I have read some popularized science articles about her from reputable magazines and if they are to be trusted, the prevailing interpretation of all available evidence is that beauty wasn't what Caesar and Antony saw in her.
>>341485667
>Thatcher
>>341485912
Cleopatra styled herself as reincarnation of Isis
Didn't Cleopatra flee during the Battle of Actium causing all of Marc Anthony's ships to panic and route? fucking useless hoe should've been left at home, a mexican or black gf would never have done that
So they outsourced the leader movies to Pixar right?
>>341486093
Does not mean that much, cult of Isis was popular in Rome too, does not mean that they looked like archaic or 1st kingdom period Egypt.
>>341485667
If a modern one was going to be picked Churchill would be the obvious choice
After playing Caveman2Cosmos I fear I'll be disappointed by Civ6 no matter what.
>>341481716
Egyptians weren't black.
>>341484840
MOTHER FUCKING KANGGGGSSSS !!!!

>The coins also show her with masculine features (although for propaganda reason
What in particular? Roman nose in women was seen as attractive.
>>341488043
What makes you think she is Black?
>>341490537
>ayy lmao
>>341481965
>>341481716
wasnt cleopatra a huge slut that fucked tons of people
>>341491818
Yes, she also had all her siblings murdered.
>>341481716
>not Greek
>No hair
>Not the most beautiful woman in history
Teddy looked great so why does Cleopatra look so disgusting?
>>341486917
Her family wasn't Roman. Ptolemy was Macedonian.
>>341492180
Egyptians wore wigs.
>>341492740
>Egyptian fashion didn't change after the 1st kingdom
I don't really like the worker changes
Them functioning on charges just feels weird to me, and them completing everything seems like wide empires are just going to be way easier
>>341492884
It wasn't about fashion. It was hygiene as well as due to the hot climate.
>>341493017
>them completing everything seems like wide empires are just going to be way easier
Oh look it's another dumb faggot who doesn't know that Civ is supposed to be a 4X game
>>341493396
managing a wide empire was perfectly fine in civ 5, and in the scope of civ perfectly fine as well
this would make wide empires easier than 4 and even easier than 5
>>341481716
We already fucking knew the shit about Cleopatra, show us a new civ Firaxis.
>Tries to ally leaders with the greatest military power.
People will find reason to complain about this.
>>341493850
They confirmed 18 civs in the base game and they've already revealed 4 (5 if you count the Ghandi talk as confirmation) so who are the possible candidates that didn't appear in Civ4/5? Mexico?
>>341494154
Gran Colombia under BolÃvar
>>341494154
I think they said they are choosing the base civs based on having a balanced TSL match
Best Cleopatra coming through
>>341492884
The official royal regalia really didn't change much.
>>341485667
it's probably going to be Churchill
I don't think they'll ever pick an England leader that isn't Elizabeth or Churchill
>>341495760
Victoria?
>>341494154
>only 18
JUST
>>341495760
Henry the Eight for example might work since they're apparently looking for big personalities over historically important/good leaders this time (well, more so than before).
>>341496016
Gotta sell those DLCs and "expansion" packs.
Just play Caveman2Cosmos. It's infinitely better than anything Firaxis can make.
>>341496016
Both Civ V and Civ IV had 18 leaders in the base game
>>341494740
I want to fug her during her estrus and make a beautiful boy prince together
>Egyptian brown
>>341496171
>It's OK not to try and expand the sequels
>Americans
>>341485667
NIGE
>>341494154
America, Egypt, China, Japan, England, France, Germany, India, Russia, Rome, Greece
Those will all be in without a doubt, with the first 4 confirmed
That leaves 7 more - they did also confirm that there are at least a couple civs that haven't been in any of the previous games before but I'd reckon only 1-2
>>341496387
>implying Aztecs won't be in for sure
>>341496052
>implying Henry VIII wasn't historically important and a good leader
>>341496387
Monty is a staple bitch, only 6.
>>341496473
Forgot about them, yeah they will as well
>>341496348
Each civilization will have three uniques instead of two.
Civ5 had great portraits, why couldn't they make them of the same quality again?
>>341496016
They're fleshing out the Civs and giving them better AI for once. Quality>Quanity, I don't need 10 useless or vanilla as fuck civs from day one. I'd rather have 10 Venice tier civs than 30 Catherines.
They'll have a more advanced personality system, each leader acts a certain way based on history with random additional modifiers added at the start of each game.
>>341496681
But will they actually be balanced?
>>341496681
I guess that's a bit better.
I hope we'll actually get a good Earth map with real starting positions. It sucks that you have to rely on modders making them.
>>341497010
The lead Dev said they'd neglected how popular an Earth map is for too long and will definitely have one.
>>341496730
They've gone cheapo on them probably because they were the biggest overhead for new civs in V. There better be multiple leaders per civ to compensate for that downgrade though.
>>341492091
and her lovers
and her son
and she killed herself
>>341496171
Civ IV had more than one leader for some civs, though.
>>341496168
> "expansion"
Fuck off nigger, Civ expansions are actual expansions, not EA 3 maps shit.
>>341481716
Kinda hoping for Gustavus Adolphus again. He was always pretty bro to me.
>>341496518
IE Teddy Roosevelt over Washington or Lincoln
A guy who founded nature reserves, brokered peace with Russia and Japan, and broke up banks, but is mostly known as either the world's greatest adventurer, or a hypocritical hawk who got America into Vietnam 0.5
>>341500446
>or a hypocritical hawk who got America into Vietnam 0.5
What war was that?
>>341500741
The Philippine Occupation during the Spanish American War.
>>341481716
Why are we going back to the cartoony looking leaders for civ 6? Goddamn it I liked the way it was in civ 5.
>>341500020
They are more like glorified balance patches at this point.
