New Loading Screen Personalities?

[Baldwin XI]

To me, it seems that there are too few interesting characters on the loading screens
Currently, we have:
Elizabeth I of England
Gustavus Adolphus II of Sweden
Louis XIV of France
Isabella of Spain
Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottomans

It would be interesting to add:
John III Sobieski of Poland
Peter the Great of Russia
Friedrich the Great of Prussia
Charles V Habsburg of Austria
George Washington of America
Akbar the Great of the Mughal Empire

What are the odds that some of these people could make it in? And what would be some other people that you would like to see on the loading screens?

 

[Nyrael]

I want Johan of Paradox -_-

 

[white army]

I thought that beacuse of the expansion, Cortez. Washington that should had been added from the previous expansion and now he is more important than ever and Simon Bolivar would be nice
Maybe add some known and influential Native American tribe leaders.

 

[kosarev]

Yay Bolivar. I have a bust of him just in front of my home. Probably not many cities in Spain with one.

 

[Trickrs]

Maurice of Nassau and Henry the Navigator would be good too.

The Netherlands and Portugal were huge colonizers, which is one of the main focus of the game.

 

[dionysus81]

William the Silent (of Orange) or Maurice of Nassau for Netherlands
Martin Luther
Christopher Columbus
Cortez
Magellan

 

[Rubidium]

If you wanted some non-European flavor, one of the 3 unifiers of Japan or Nurhaci might make an interesting choice. Downside is, I'm not sure how many players would be able to recognize them.

I agree that Washington and Bolivar would make sense, along with maybe someone like King Philip or Powhatan to represent the (North American) Native Americans (though those latter might have the same problem).

Edit: note that all the current loading screens are of rulers, which is one reason I'm discounting e.g. Christopher Columbus, Henry the Navigator, Martin Luther or Cortez.

 

[Noramia]

What about John Calvin,Thomas Cranmer,Zwingli?

But Moctezuma was a terrible ruler! Much better to do someone like Manco Capac II, Pachacuti or Tecumseh who managed to accomplish something besides losing his empire to foreign invaders.

 

[The Colonel]

For Japan I'd love to see Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takeda Shingen, or Oda Nobunaga.

Frederick the Great of Prussia would be cool also.

Charles V or Philip V (of Spain).

Peter or Catherine the Great or Ivan the Terrible.

Maybe Sir Robert Walpole?

Im talking about Mocteczuma's predecessor, Moctezuma. If I recall correctly he was actually a good leader for the Aztec Empire.

 

[Noramia]

Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottomans

I thought the one they had right now is Selim I.....

 

[Baldwin XI]

I thought the one they had right now is Selim I.....

He would be a worthy contender. But I've yet to see a depiction of Selim I with a full beard, which Suleiman did have. Suleiman is also more emblematic of the Ottoman Empire than Selim.

 

[AndreasPhokas]

Tokugawa Ieyasu
Maurice of Nassau
Peter the Great
Tipu Sultan
Henry the Navigator
Jan Sobieski
Admiral Yi Sun Shin
Kangxi Emperor
Fredderick the Great of Prussia
George Washington
Maharaja Ranjit Singh
Shah Ismail(orAbbas)
Akbar the Great

That's my list! Please lets get some non-Europeans in here!

 

[bleakie]

Charles V is better classified as a ruler of Spain or the Netherlands, rather than an Austrian ruler. A better choice would be Leopold I (who won the Great Turkish War) or Maria Theresa I (who reformed the country to Enlightenment standard).

 

[satyrlord]

I want Johan of Paradox -_-

You already have Suleiman who looks exactly like Johan. Seriously, how hasn't anyone notice this before?
