Quoting my previus post:

If I can vote, I'll prefer Charlie Chaplin (Charlot) as a modern icon of an entertainer actor. His films are great, funny and with some tears for good measure. Maybe during a war it can substitute the Military advisor too

(anyone remember the film where Charlot replaced Hitler? A masterpiece of acting, real piece of movies history).

Yes, I am talking about Mr.Chaplin

Chaplin is too... serious for that kind of job if you ask me

His movies... Chaplin was formost a critic of his society and then an entertainer if you ask me. Comedy was just his way of getting his (great and humanistic) messages across.

That's absolutely true, but we don't need to "level down" the Entertainer, do we?
We had great entertainer in history, not necessary lighthearted

Considering the fact that Civ III seems to be inspired by "Tower of Babel" painting, but probably going back to Greek Theatre will be too much on the serius side...

But if it was a Comedy play (like one of Aristophanes) you'd fall off your ancient theater sit laughing! Do you know Satyros? (in english??)

Don't know... The King just seems to fit perfectly in that job. The Elvis impersonator was really great and the concept of Elvis in that job just clicks somehow

Admiral, those pics could be modified in civ2 by altering people.gif

That's nothing new. I used to have a version with Mr. T as the entertainer. Ethnically diverse and strangely entertaining at the same time. I hope that Firaxis does not change this.

Thanks Mister Pleasant. I didn't modified CIV 2 files, if not for minor parts, but it's nice to see I can, if only I want.

But really, I don't think it's so relevant for me to customize the game to such extent.
I decided to mention someone else great just to limit those "love the Elvis" fanatics flood!

Well, I must admit my limits: I studied greeks theatre and comedy somewhat at school ages ago, but my memory has probably been resetted by some internal failure

May be I'll look at Public Library, next week.
May I beg you for any title suggestion? (Original title in greek will be easier for me to translate in italian equivalent).

Please send me an Apolyton Private Message, if it's not too a trouble for you, just to keep OT out of this thread. Thank you in advance.

Well, I like the idea of Elvis being in the game, but a possibly good candidate would be Curly from the Three Stooges. After all, didn't he wear costumes from every period and culture in their episodes? He looks natural in all of them.
Still Uh-uh-Huh is at least as popular as Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!

Full PM-box? Change here!

Well i like elvis as much as the next guy but what about this. Y don't we get one of the members of blink 182 to do the entertaining lol . They could run around naked for one seen and add a bunch of much need comedy. Lets face the king is really god! ok so a music god but still a god. W/o him half of the music we listen to now wouldn't be here. Didn't the beatles say he influenced them? And the influenced then next generation and so on and so on. So elvis i cool w/ me but i am up for change too. But who else you gonna use?

Cant we put Go(o)d old Sid there as entertainer. Isn't he the biggest entertainer of all time. (this will lead to a controversial discussion)

I'd like to share with you an actual occurance this morning as I was on the way to work. Sitting on the commuter bus, what do I see on a car driving next to me?

"The King is Coming"

No crosses, nothing religous, only that phrase and a guitar on the end of the bumper sticker. A sign from a higher power? Of course... Elvis will return !!
