Athens faction leader looks ridiculous!

[JohnChurchill]

Why on earth does the leader of the Athens faction have a great big stuffed lions head on his head!? It looks stupid for the leader of an esteemed culture. I bet its defiantly not historically accurate, even if it is it's still ludicrous. None of the other Greek factions leaders have stupid stuffed animals on their heads.

Is there anyway I can change this myself?

I think he looks cool but i will provide you with a solution none the less

1. Make sure that the first battle you do is with him
2. Ride his unit all alone ahead of the army straight into some pikes
I guarantee you wont be bothered with him anymore

[Avetis]

Seriously? In a plenty of fantasies you found this pelts inaccurate?

Corinthian helmet in III-II century BC is more inaccurate

Pelts actually not so inaccurate as you think.
Animal pelts wearing by greeks belongs to earlier period but it's not a fantasy.

It just looks crap, in my opinion that is.

[HerrBree]

There is nothing inaccurate about it. Maybe you should do some more research. In fact the most famous bust of Mithridates VI shos him wearing a lion pelt on his head. So please do some research before you go around saying something is "looks like crap" or "historically inaccurate".

They might be yea, but they're simply to awsome to cut them out from the game

Pikes have lower "bonus vs large" than hoplites due to that stupid "bonus works when you get attacked in the rear too"-thing! Would be more effective to charge a group of hoplites

Why does he have to base his opinion on wether it looks crap or not from history?

[Avetis]

We should divide [et impera] between "looks like crap" and "historically accurate". It's not about liking.
There are many units looking like crap. So what?
Otherwise there must be planty of units in ugly segmentatas or fancy cuirasses, corinthian helmets, carrying rhomphaia, shiny hoplon and composite bow, mounted golden scale cataphract horse.

Mithridates was a Hellenized Persian who had pretentions of being the next Alexander. I don't think his fashion habits reflect those of an old school Athenian.

You need to re-read my post fella, and I am entitled to my opinion, as I stated in my post it was only my opinion, not fact, I also did not state I had researched it. I was more concerned with the look of it, and again in my opinion it looks crap.

[Yuko]

lion pelts are freaking cool! just run him into some pikes if he bothers you that much.

Why do you have to take one of my sentences and cut it in half and take what I say out of context?

Actually lions were fairly common from Egypt all the way up to the Balkans at that time hence all the Greek and Macedonian vases and other pieces of art depicting lion hunts. It really isn't that far fetched at all that a powerful general would be wearing a lion pelt on his head.

[Avetis]

Don't forget about Nemean Lion

[Summary]

Athenians are ridiculous ...... :sparta:

HerrBree, Linke has not misquoted you at all. You said ' Maybe you should do some more research... please do some research before you go around saying something is "looks like crap" or "historically inaccurate", again the thing is I never said I had researched anything. I said I bet its not historically accurate, if it is then I lost a bet, that's the gamble. However I can still say if I think it looks horrendous, which in my opinion it does. Personally I think you just read what you want to into peoples posts and if anyone is misquoting or taking things out of context its you pal!

And if your still wanting to throw the weight of your history book around and stick your oar in then I am happy to finish this debate on the online battefield of ANY Total War game of your choice. Then we can see if your historical accuracy can prevent you from getting tore a new one!?.... but I doubt that it will bud.

If you want to be taken seriously at all learn to post with some modicum of respect for the modders' work. If you don't like something you can just as easily say "I don't particularly like xyz" as "It looks stupid... ludicrous... stupid stuffed animals... etc"
