	Where are you Hannibal??????? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Ive seen the pictures for all of the enw leaders except for Hannibal Barca of Carthage. I have visited many sites but all i see is the celts,koreans,ottomans,arabs,spanish,mongolian, and vikings leader heads. Has any one out there seen the leader head picture for Hannibal of Carthage? If so i would really appreciate it if you would post it. Thanks in advance.

No, he hasn't been shown yet, perhaps they're saving him up for a suprise in PtW?

Well, on the other hand, he might be the best looking of them all...even better than Brennus!

Given the pictures of Khan and the Korean guy you are more than right but in the end Jeanne and Isa are quite nice and I like both of them.

Hmm regarding the picture of Hannibal I'm also more than interested to see him well given the educational status Firaxis had shown in creating the game I would not be surprised if they would present that guy from the A-Team as Hannibal the leader

Maybe they haven't chosen Hannibal as the leader of the Carthagians! They chose some Ragnar Unknown guy as the leader of the Vikings!

Yeahh our good fellow Ragnar whatever. I agree with you this chose was more than bad but it give us some good time and a good laugh making jokes about him here:

Brennus was actually rather important. He, after all, led the Cisalpine Gauls into raiding Clusium, and then they went after Rome itself in c.390BC, defeating a Roman army at Allia, and sacking the city itself, all but the Capitoline falling. Brennus withdrew only after receiving a tribute of 1000 pounds of silver. The story is that when he was receiving the tribute, a Roman tribune said that the Celtic scales were unfair, and Brennus angrily tossed his own sword onto the scales and shouted "Woe to the defeated!" The Romans never forgot that, it was the greatest wound to their national pride ever.

Geoffrey of Monmouth also says that Brennus was a British prince who had been ousted from his kingdom and fled to Cisalpine Gaul, where he'd become the king. If so, Brennus would also be the first great British hero as well. Interesting guy, Brennus.

Normally I would find it hard to believe Hannibal could be any uglier than Ghengis, but with Firaxis you never know...

Hmm...maybe Good Fella...but one must remember that the guy who does the Civ3 portraits is a very good artist, the same guy who did all the portraits for Civ2, Gettysburg, SMAC, and SMAX. This guy can draw extremely well, and if we underestimate him for making Genghis look like the real Genghis, a guy who never took a bath in his life, then we are making a serious mistake!
