10 Awesome Video Game Features That Suddenly Went Missing In The Sequel

Sometimes it's the simple things that bring us joy, and in the case of Sid Meier's Civilization, it's all the little details that pop up on your map and in the menus.

Though the newer Civ games offer a staggering amount of features when compared to their older iterations, there is one small detail that went missing somewhere along the way, even though you can still find fans who'd do anything to see it again.

In modern civilization games, when you lead your nation of choice through the ages, their leader remains the same. Harald will rock a helmet and a sword even after his people start flying in fighter jets, and Theodore Roosevelt wears suits three thousand years before they're invented.

This is why it might surprise some people that, back in Civilization III days, the leader portraits would actually change with the times.

Instead of always sticking to the same outfits, the leaders would wear era-appropriate clothing, which led to some interesting and sometimes hilarious outcomes.

There was something truly magical about seeing Abraham Lincoln dressed like a medieval merchant or Montezuma sporting a tuxedo, standing in a modern glass office.

It's something the monotony of modern Civilization leaders can't capture.
