Gall's mean. If you resign and then start up another game, and he is your ally, he will say "Don't let me down again." He's also a crappy ally, puts a max of 6 guys on his pit, never upgrades his cav, etc.
Akbar is so bad I want to actually punch my screen when he starts whining through his nose about the "Gods". No, I'd like to find the guy who did his voice-over and punch him too. I thought Hiawatha was bad, Akbar makes Hiawatha seem like John Wayne.
Like why couldn't they get one of the voice actors for the monks or the repentant thuggee/dacoits to come up with a better pitched voice? Akbar's greatest anxiety was trying to hold together an empire that was a loose jigsaw puzzle of about 5989423 different ethnic groups and more than a few religions. He viewed it as both a great blessing to princes, and a unique curse. Why not take that and use it humorously instead of whining?
@Isabella: I doubt any of the AI personalities were meant to even come close to the real personalities of the real monarchs and rulers in history. For instance, Suleiman and Hiawatha spouting all that enigmatic poetic pablum about yogurt and cattails. No evidence whatsoever that these two leaders spoke in riddles, it's just a way of adding a humorous touch and bit of unique (if mildly inaccurate) flavor to each civ. So, Izzy becomes a Latin siren because the role of domineering battle-axe is already taken by Miz Lizzy. And the Latin siren bit is a whole lot more entertaining (and more PC) than a bleeding fanatic calling for the end of the Paynims and the glory of God with every single statement.
