Nuuuuuuuuuuurgh! Run Away! Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

AAAAAH! Is it just me or is the Civ3 Ghandi scary? He almost ranks alongside good old Elizabeth and Cleopatra in terms of scariness.

Are Firaxis trying to make us feel intimidated, or what?

That last one looks ridiculous - does he have to wear that hat?

I like the first one better, eventhough he's more yellow!!

I think they meant for the new picture this week to look more yellow and faded; I like the look of his face better. The old Gandhi scares me quite a bit!

I think I've seen other leaders wearing that funny hat during the Renaissance. But, can anyone find any actual pictures of someone wearing that style of hat? It looks ridiculous.

I have one of Lincoln wearing it, but the image is too big to post.

This art sucks!!

I mean look at the Sid character (Roman dude). He looks like a complete boob.

Is this what the little kiddies are into? Boob leader icons and no cinematography?

Now you know why since the very beginning, I've said that there should be an option of not having leader animations at all. These are a waste of resources and very distracting and horrible to look at. This reminds me of one of my little boy's computer games where you make funny faces. Again, I really hope that there's a way not to view such childish stuff in Civ3.

Tired of ads?

Gandhi looks like he's a leper. His skin is falling off. The stupid hats make it all that much worse. I've seen pictures of Renaissance people that didn't look completely ridiculous. Isn't this possible to replicate? They are all really scary....

Looks like Tim Curry got cast as Elizabeth (Is the graphic designer a Rocky Horror far or something). And playing Lincoln, we got Tim Roth reprising his role as General Thade! They could have at least made Ghandi look like Ben Kingsley.

It is good to see that he is doing more than just cartoon voice work now-a-days!

Yeah, I think Gandhi looks way gnarly... almost disturbingly so.

Why did they remove the animated Abe and Mao from the page when they moved?
Now I can't refer to them. Can't they have animations of all leaders in Civ of the week?
