Who should be in new loading screens?

[GeneralJhon]

I want Maurice, Prince of Orange as a loading screen for Res Republica. Apart from that, since we are having El Dorado expansion, we Charles V of HRE, Montezuma of the Aztec Empire and Atahualpa of the Inca Empire. I like Montezuma and Atahualpa since they were the last emperors of their respective nation and Charles since he was "the first" ruler of the Spanish empire

[RockmanYoshi]

Tippu Sultan of Mysore.

 

[Neoton]

Hernan Cortes.

 

[Blijert]

Dorgon, for a far East expansion (finally fixing the Chinese claim problems)
Don't know that much about him but he is basically the one who installed the Qing over the Ming, conquered a great deal of China and introduced the 'Pigtail or Death' according to Wiki

Plus his official portrait doesn't look too bad

 

[Grand Historian]

Okay, here's what I've come up with portrait wise;

Spoiler

:
Jan III Sobieski (who has been pseudo-confirmed):

Charles V (who could have a numerous amount of backgrounds considering how large his multi-lingual empire was):

Napoleon (I can't decided whether the classic hand in coat is better than the one of him on a horse. Now that I think about it, the latter was used for March of the Eagles):

Frederick II the Great (sadly without his tricorn):

Peter the Great (aka; history's most eccentric tsar. I wouldn't be surprised if the background was a shipyard in the Low Countries):

William van Orange:

Or they could just go with Maurice of Nassau, who was the basis of Res Publica:

George Washington:

Gregory XIII:

Abbas I the Great:

Babur:

Krishnadevaraya:

Kangxi:

Oda Nobunaga (if I recall, this was also the basis for his Civ V appearance):

Or they could always go Koei:

And Pachacuti, who'll probably be in El Dorado (another Civ 5 basis):

In other news, a new battle expansion has been pseudo-confirmed. Personally I hope it will flesh out the microscopic elements a bit; generals, units, and the battlefield itself.

im not big one chinese emperors, they all look the fricken same regardless of portrait. all of them.,

also, napoleon not on horse > on horse, latter isa overused

 

[Willem IV]

This guy from Res Publica, quite dissapointed I didn't find him on a loading screen.

Read more.

As there is still no Res Publica portrait I would love to see one in the next patch, and Maurits is a good one, as there is a lot of Dutch content in that DLC

Crossing my fingers for Moctezuma I.

Let's be honest, for ED , the portrait will probably be Cortez. The Aztec or Inca emperors are possible, but most of the focus seems to be on Europeans contact with the new world.

Rebellions in Ireland DLC? :ninja:

*thrusts money at Paradox*

I would literally sell my soul to Paradox if they made an Ireland expansion.

How about a flight of the earls portrait or just the Earl of Kildare.

*cough*

we'll not add a new loadingscreen for one nation until at least 64 others have.

Don't know who it'll be, but it won't be a Spaniard.

Im like, srs, why no Napoleon yet. Idk how he got left out of launch, considering he is arguably one of the most important figures of the whole time frame (late game in particular)

 

[Konair0s]

Following the trend (CoP, "CoP 2", WoN, "WoN 2") he is probably reserved for some "Art of War 2: Napoleonic Wars"

Because France got the Sun King instead.

Because France got the Sun King instead.

but napoeleon is "Revolutionary France"

 

[delpiero1234]

(And Yes, I want to make another war-oriented expansion so we can add Jan Sobieski!)

Awesome. Will that DLC come after El Dorado?

 

[Wallain]

Christian IV of Denmark on the boat. That one is iconic.

 

[dekergus]

Peter the Great and Napoeon
