My dad is over 60 and has way more muscle than Pericles of Civ VI, who was likely more of a silver fox due to his active lifestyle and portrayed closer to middle age or even younger in IV, though at least the helmet fits. They went way overboard trying to make Pericles look like Solon. Morningcalm , Oct 26, Atlas and Kimiimaro like this. Joined: Jul 24, Messages: 5, Location: Lucerne. I actually picture a 60 year old ancient greek looking much older than Pericles does in civ VI.
He seems to be closer to 50 than 60 even when I look at rural greeks from today. But I also don't see the general that much when I think of Pericles as a historical person, he seems to hide behind the other Pericleses ;- Maybe Firaxis didn't want to portray him as a general to avoid two greek leaders with an aggressive leader screen? Or for Firaxis other aspects of Pericles are much more important? Siptah , Oct 26, MooFreaky , Olleus and DWilson like this. MooFreaky , Morningcalm and Siptah like this.
