Cleopatra is so ugly
it is known that Cleopatra was a beautiful woman but in Civ6 she is extremely ugly. i dunno if this is because of the new style the devs are going for or something else but i advise they should re-do her looks

Umm, she looks beautiful. (Not that it matters in the least)

It's a bit of a myth it seems...
Plutarch indicates that "her beauty, as we are told, was in itself neither altogether incomparable, nor such as to strike those who saw her." Rather, what ultimately made Cleopatra attractive were her wit, charm and "sweetness in the tones of her voice.

I'd make a move on her, but that's just me, I guess.

The word you're looking for is caricature, not cartoon.

Beauty is subjective, not universal.

Fear not - stupidity is.
People asking for re-do's of Leaders....taking away time of the team to design new leaders (and civs)

She looks great and her movements and body language are really well done. Personally, I love the leader designs a LOT. I can't wait to see all the different people that Civ6 will have in it when all the DLC is said and done.

Cleopatra's famous beauty wasn't conventional beauty. All the powerful men of the world wanted her so badly because she was queen of Egypt. Any man who married her would be king of Egypt. Any children that man had with her would themselves be king/queen of Egypt in the future.

Also she was really good in bed, to put it bluntly.

But she wasn't particularly beautiful. She was the product of several generations of brother-sister incest afterall.

Sounded good till the last two statements. The first - there is really no evidence unless Ceasar or Anthony left diaries discussing it (though I've not heard of such). As for the results of inbreeding causing problems, well, "it ain't necessarily so". Further study of genetics on your part is indicated.

Regarding the brother-sister marriages, This Cleopatra's father's mother is not known. There are only guesses. However, there were a bunch of sibling / step-sibling marriages in the preceeding generations. Seemed to work pretty well since this Cleopatria was considered both brilliant and wise.

In Egyptian culture of those times (and for thousands of years before) it was quite common for the pharaoh to marry his siter. The pharaoh was a god, afterall, so his sister was also divine and was considered a suitable wife. Many pharaoh's married their sisters, and many pharaohs were born mangled because of it.

The Ptolemies appropriated much of the traditions of the Egyptian pharaohs, and they too married and had children with their siblings.
