What did Civ 4 leaders really look like? (part Seven)

[Pikazilla]

Willem looks like a 1970s cartoon villain

[Cnd1867]

During William of Orange, is that the Dutch National Anthem playing? Its lovely if it is. Been there, such a wonderful country. =D

[cyberpolice9000]

@Cnd1867

It is!

[GulleGelderlander]

@Cnd1867 Yes it is the Dutch National Anthem. No other song would have fitted better. The Dutch anthem is called 'Het Wilhelmus' (The William). The song is all about William and his life and the Dutch strugle for independence, so no song would have fitted better.

[Yzacata]

3:51 - Is he a saint? Does that light on his head indicate he's the developer of the game? I've only seen him on tutorial, but I wonder what he looks like when Annoyed... :D

[BlockelandTV]

I am dutch... and Willem van Oranje was our famous leader... But he got killed.

He Drove more spanish people from our land! The soung was our anthem... 

[anamarvelo]

i'd day that they did pretty godd getting the leaders to look the way they should 

[n62710]

I didn't know than Coolio was in the game !

[enterprise0709]

Sid = God

[UDI1995]

What is the name of the marsch at washingtons part?

[SgtZippzapp]

wtf? Willem van Oranje? which Civ is that?

[neoshinryu1]

@SgtZippzapp Im pretty sure its the Dutch

[SgtZippzapp]

@neoshinryu1 no not like that, but i mean which game is this?

[neoshinryu1]

@SgtZippzapp oh sorry hes in Civilization IV Beyond the Sword

[marty10009]

@SgtZippzapp

Willem van Oranje is probably the most famous Dutch leader of all time. He lived during the 16th century, and more or less drove away the spanish from our land. I wish more people were interested in the Dutch. The song played in this video is our anthem btw.

[kungthomas]

WHAT!!!! No statue of Sid Meier? Laaaaame... he deserves atleast 2

Just watched all vids. Exellent work!

[Bananas1000]

Ha! Zelfs het Wilhemus zit erin! Geweldig! Ik heb CIV pas net maar het is zo verslavend!

[Civfan26]

Leader:Sid Meier

Industrial,Creative

Special Unit:Game Creator

Capital City:Firaxis City

Second City:2k City

Firaxians

[Annunimas]

is Isabella the unique spanish leader?

[trainlover479]

LOL! SID MEIER PUT HIMSELF IN THE GAME! XD

[yarrderp]

Washington... he kicked my ancestors out of the Thirteen Colonies...But he did it with such class. I dont know whether to hate him or not o_o

[wimpous]

Very nicely done .. every part .. though some leaders had far too much time and some too less

[pillsburydoughboy47]

I think she DID find something, and, feeling gilted, used and all that, she threatened them, that is why they had her murdered. Now, furthermore, it is also rumored that Marilyn Monroe had a backup plan; she seduced a mafia boss, and that is how Kennedy got himself perished. For a long time now, the Kennedy assassination has been linked to her.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

I think I even read somewhere that Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jean, wasn't stupid; don't know where it was but I think out of high school she got a high score on the SAT's, either that, or an I.Q. test, and I THINK, though I'm not certain, that the sex icon had an I.Q. in the 140's I think, part of the reason people believe she was murdered, is because she dug up something about the Kennedy's.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

the type of "western nerdy guy" Japanese chicks like, is the funny looking skinny ones with overly large eyes that you laugh hysterically at the moment you meet them their appearance is so comical.

its not easy going through life with a comical appearance; price you pay for being smart I guess.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

word of warning youtube; while you may have heard that Japan is a "shangrilah were nerdy guys can score a hottie" its a SPECIFIC BREED of nerd, not just any kind of nerd. If you're a "fatass" nerd, you're out of luck. If you are one of those "deformed" or "creepy" nerds, and by creepy I mean, a nerd who looks a lot like Batman's arch nemesis the Joker, as he appears in comics, you're out of luck. If you look like Freeman, from that game "Garou; Mark of the Wolves," you're out of luck.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

well, women in the west anyway; in Japan, the women there prefer boyish good looks, someone who is "cute."

[pillsburydoughboy47]

Marilyn Monroe was "one of a kind" because her look, combined qualities of both; mature woman sexiness, with girlishness, and that sort of beauty is EXTREMELY rare. The only other woman I have personally seen that combines womanliness with girlishness, is Claudia Lynx.

to a certain extent, it applies to men too; some men have boyish good looks, other men manly good looks, but few men combine traits of both. Women tend to prefer manly good looks though.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

the hippies want scarlett johansson to have an affair with barack obama so that they feel young again.

sorry boomers; SJ is "hot" but she's no Marilyn.

there are two kinds of beauty for a woman; girlish, which is represented by the likes of Natalie Portman when she was hot, Scarlett Johansson, and most Japanese women. Then there is "sexy mature woman" beauty, represented by the likes of Donna Feldman, Monica Bellucci, and Ava Gardner.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

is it just me, or does every historical "famous ruler" have a comical appearance?

it just seems that, all "revered historical figures" all "revered leaders" seem to be funny looking.

[wolfcity100]

whats with sid meier who does he command

[Blackadder125]

He commands the Firaxians.

[wolfcity100]

srry i dont have the game but what are the firaxians are they fictional

[7Roland]

Firaxis is the company that produces Civ4. Sid Meier is the owner of this company. It's a Canadian company.

[Anony1200]

Actually,he's the placeholder leader in case you mod in/somehow contact the Barbarians.

[Anony1200]

Also,he's got the default "Peace" music and is actually Winston Churchill in disguise.

[zerg1hydralisk]

Excuse me? Did you say "in case you somehow contact the Barbarians"? How is that possible? Please teach me lol.

[Neropoo]

@Blackadder125 They live in the ruins of the great culture of their ancestors, the Microprosians.

[Zylo587]

@wolfcity100 He commands your mind, your hopes and your fears. This stems from his amazing control over PC gaming.

[nydaimyo]

Thailand (Mongkut I-from "The King and I") Romania (Prince Vlad-not Dracula) and maybe a choice between Hiawatha and Sitting Bull. I'd love to see Iraquois vs. the Sioux for my ideas for future versions.

[7Roland]

Civilisations to include in future versions:

Polish Empire (Casimir the Great, John Sobieski)

Israel Empire (Solomon)

South African Empire (Nelson Mandela)

Siberian Empire (there was some Ibuk or something like this, I dont know I only checked this to write this comment :D)

The Holy Roman Empire should also have some Habsburg leader but I don't know which cause I don"t know any of them :D

[Miklus023]

Thank you for these videos. In general, the leaders look true to their real life counterparts.

Zara Yaqob look a bit like a gangster rapper.

[laviejaseisotorta]

Zara Yaqob looks cool.

[XYZcatwomanXYZ]

Sid Meier!!! The producer!!!

[waslander]

lol, who is the guy at the end? :p

[shootanputan]

How do you play as Sid Miere?

[Mark01984]

Always thought that Willem Van Oranje look like Ian McKellen.

[brunolbt]

young william von orange at 2:41 is fine

[MKD247]

Lmao looks like a street punk

[JumpingTomato]

It's Willem VAN Oranje! Don't mistake us for Germans please.

I didnt even know they put him in there, in which expansion is he?

[DonkeyKongX]

Beyond the Sword, alongside Zara Yakob, the perennial scoremaker when it comes to AI.

[CaesoB]

If I were a Dutch bag I'd want to be mistaken for a German. Now go smoke some legalized weed.

[JumpingTomato]

If I was an Australian, I would wanted to be mistaken for a Dutch guy. Go fuck a kangaroo, and I will smoke some weed. Since we are free-minded you fucking Bruce.

[CaesoB]

Stop taking the internet so seriously. Take a deep breath and go for a walk.

[7Roland]

Yeah, I agree with you even though I'm Polish and therefore I shouldn't like Germans. But there's no other country in Europe that does not follow ANY traditional rules. Dutch people are deviants especially Vleemis and Roose. And don't think in Poland we don't know what they were singing about us.

[7Roland]

Oh sorry there's one Dutch I like: Blackadder125. Sorry I was talking about all apart from you, Master.

[GrappendeGrapjas]

They also put him in colonization. Although he doesn't look like real Willem in colonization. He got the same face, but long black haires and he's called a king.

[Kvigzog]

Zara Yaqob's clothes seemed to me like he's wearing a hoody or sweather or I don't know what. And that beard and haircut... I first thought that he is from 80' or so, as I had never heard of him before.

[HuellsJewels]

Thanks for posting! As someone who has worked on this kind of project, I like to see how the folks of Civ IV interpret historical figures. But I just dont have the time to play the game.

Regarding images of Zara Yaqob, the Ethernopians have a rich history of iconography. You should be able to find a picture of him somewhere. Wiki says that Yaqob was thought by Europeans to be Prester John.

[GeneralSturnn]

where do I find the dutch anthem? this sounds better then Willem's original theme in Civ IV!

[rickinator9]

The dutch call it "het wilhelmus"

[BlueTemplar15]

When in 10 000 years they find this video they will wonder what kind of great leader Sid Meier was... :D

[shootanputan]

I would say he was a great lead of Firaxis Games ,Blue Templar. :D

[anamarvelo]

@BlueTemplar15 if i get a time mashine i invited you to come with me and find out

[GeneralSturnn]

When I can, I'm gonna replace the Stalin theme with the vUSSR national anthem and Bismarck's theme with Koniggrazter marcsh(think it's spelled that way?) I can't put the dots on their.

[CHUBBLE117]

lol i think its the tutorial where u get sid

[mam2z]

How do u get sid meier :P

[gman8744]

how do u get sid?

[Thedutchjelle]

Are you from the USA? Just guessing, since the Washington part lasted 1:30 :P

Not that I mind though.

Sid Meier is a pro leader tho. You don't want to piss him off. He's always smiling.. so scary.

[Blackadder125]

No, I am from the Netherlands. there where a lot of pictures for Washington, so I gave him a longer part.

[Thedutchjelle]

Ah that explains.

[TheSmithNL]

@Blackadder125 Hollaaaaaannnnddd :P

[Taiyama2]

Whoo! Washington!

Hehe. I think one of the many draws of the Civilization series is taking your own civilization with your favorite leader and building them up to world dominance. Washington's my favorite leader, partly because I'm a patriotic American and partly because he has my favorite two traits (Organized and Financial).

[IchhabkeinPlan123]

yes, the Theme for Willem is much better in this video.

I've read that Willhem was one of the quieter ones and so the circus music is bullshit.

Maybe the Person who decided that Willhem gets the Circus Music was from Germany.

[Thedutchjelle]

Or a sore guy from Spain who's still bitter :P

I'm from The Netherlands, and I kinda think it's lame they didn't use our anthem that's named after him as his tune :\

Is it possible to change it?

[IchhabkeinPlan123]

Yes Thedutchjelle, it's possible to change it. You've got to change the name of, the track, you want to paste to the game to "william theme late/modern" or what it' i named in the file folder. I think it is in: Beyond the Sword\assets\sounds\william.

[Thedutchjelle]

Awesome, thanks

[SinoIrishAussie]

Nice tune you used for Willem van Orange. Much better than that horrible circus tune he has in-game.

[NLFonsseals]

THE WILLEM v ORANJETHEME IS WILHELMUS!

[yuizakisakura]

sid is in the game? I never saw him

[Blackadder125]

He's the leader of the barbarians. To actually see him/ play as him, you have to edit the XML files.

[swupstik]

LOL leader of the barbs...

[Agent1W]

@Blackadder125 Leader of the barbarians? Why would anyone want to lead a bunch of uncivilized, animal skin wearing, stone-crafted axe wielding people in this day and age?

Civilization is not hard to teach these days...

[Nederlandac]

Cool.
