Civilization V Leader | Pacal of the Maya

Pacal the Great (603 AD - 683 AD) is considered by historians to be one of the most revered leaders in Mayan history, based on the remarkable monuments and sculptural creations found throughout Palenque. In his time as king, nearly 1000 structures were assembled in the city, requiring stones that weighed up to 15 tons. Although his past is still being uncovered today, we can say with certainty that his efforts to restore the kingdom of Palenque led to the assembly of some of the greatest monuments and art ever created by the Maya.

[@PAAKWAMEPAA]

what i love about the aztecs, and incas, and the mayans, is that they are so unique, their cultures developing independent of the western world

[@BountyFlamor]

that thing on his head looks heavy.

[@luanandreas]

yes,i wonder if it gives him headaches

[@Kardia_of_Rhodes]

He's competing with Montezuma

[@TheRealXboxNerd]

MAXZONE47 Nah no contest Pacal's got the bigger hat :P

[@DickePerserkatze]

But Monte's has brighter colours :D

[@ferdiansyahr9586]

That will make his hurted

[@AdLibertatem]

Best reaction to declaration of war.

[@ryan9905]

That diabolical laughter when you go to war.

[@Tahvosky]

Just like: You fool, you can't even comprehend what you have just gotten yourself into. As if he just wait's for your DoW every in game.

[@sharkymcsnarkface6642]

1 turn later: *Some prick with a big hat lost their original capital!*

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

I love it. He's like: "I've been preparing for the end of the world for about 3000 years. You don't scare me."

[@lovelydeath04]

Shit is creepy

[@tolaolowokere6390]

Am I the only one who was a little creeped out that he made a sinister laugh when you declare war on him?

[@raptofilms]

Tola Olowokere The game pretty much warned you when it subtitled his laugh as "You fool, you have made a terrible mistake"

[@everythingisoverparty1809]

The myans were fucking scary dude

[@lovelydeath04]

Nope!!! 😁

[@SiKlunatic]

Glottal stops, not clicking. The Maya used clicks for agreeing or passing on the turn to talk at a meeting.

[@nicolast.6953]

A leader that have a sick laughter and alien decoration on his costume.. that s scary

[@silentnightingale613]

I love how he just laughs when you declare war on him.

[@Kennychan222]

Ohh! I just visited your city, your palace and tomb (Palenque) a week ago my great King Pacal! It's my honor to visit you all the way from Australia to Mexico! :)

[@BaconMaken]

In honor of Pacal, I made an atlatl. It works pretty good.

[@xerokashay3495]

Atlatls are mostly an Aztec weapon.

[@BaconMaken]

Xerokashay Mostly? They both had them, but Mayans had them first. However, it is the Aztecs who named it the "atlatl."

[@lovelydeath04]

Whichever inaccuracies, I think that's hella cool.

[@brandoncunningham6082]

I love how he just trolls you when you declare war xD

[@the_sad_wallet1553]

H'ell'o, m'y na'me i's pa'cal.

[@TheYipedo]

He didn't show the really long line that he does when you trade with him. Their language sounds so awesome. Seriously, listen at the epic way he says his name 0:04. Pkh *throat sound* acal. I remember learning about the Mayans and never understood the point of the apostrophes in their words like . Now I know, haha.

[@XxRokusasuxX]

If you listen at the very beginning, you can hear that he is playing as Japan. :D

[@QuyNguyen-xo2gf]

Lol if this man take one step backwards

[@Vahkitauti]

Love how he laughs when you declare a war on him

[@wenaldy]

Delicious "click" consonant comrade!!!

[@leeleeisgay]

Man, he doesn't say anything when you declare war on him, he just laughs. That is one cold man.

[@chaosbyte_]

Greetings Stranger. I am known as "Pchr... acal"

[@samellis6863]

Im going to address the elephant in the room, We all want that headdress.

[@lordjub-jub2566]

I want that hat!

[@Yamamanama]

A week ago, I heard a conversation in a Mayan language on the train.

[@bechr185]

This guy is so calm and nice..I played as Askia and only him and Catherine were the only two reasonable people in the game, and remained my friends. Until they both denounced me after I deleted my whole military for the gold when it was nearing 2050, so I took both thejr capitals in no more than 6 turns. SONGHAI X-COM SQUADS FTW

[@Alchemisterius]

Have you got the URL of the part of the forum you are talking about? In comments here in KZbin I found out that Attila speaks a mix of languages (Chuvashian is among them).

[@SeoulMan]

The Maya have made it to Civ 6 New Frontiers!

[@aminatep]

This is the best war quote in history.

[@bananaman2157]

His headdress puts Montezuma's to shame.

[@marcfoster715]

Got a feeling I'm about to die in a rain of venomous arrows...

[@BurningSunBloodyMoon]

Mayan developed on the opposite side of the world to Indo-European languages - they're about as distantly related as two language families can be.

[@Apparu]

what about the Chuvash actor? can u send a link to where I could learn more about the actors.

[@hannesr6155]

"malo kin" good morning in maya.

[@thedorku9500]

There are many different Mayan languages. Which one are you talking about?

[@ProfX501]

@@thedorku9500 'Maya' usually refers to Yucatecan Maya

[@thedorku9500]

@@ProfX501 Thanks for clearing that up. I should’ve suspected so

[@JohnZackarias]

Christ almighty, this guy's badass.

[@Gojoseon]

He also sounds really creepy or depressed at times, I guess because they're going with the whole apocalypse theme. After all, his costume is inspired by the one from Apocalypto, not a historically accurate Mayan dress...

[@MagicalWizzrobe]

Ejective consonants are the best...

[@lovelydeath04]

Never heard a flute sounding so menacing...

[@espantalho93]

They haven't responded to any e-mails. But, like I said, most actors have been found. Almost all of them are from Montreal. Napoleon was voiced by one 2K producer btw.

[@vanagandrepitome6153]

You sure? All the ancient civilizations of the Americas were known how having a near inexhaustible amount of gold which they used and abused so having a giant, gold headdress isn't really far fetched. Are you sure that thing ain't pure gold?

[@hallerd]

The music is the headdress' soundtrack.

[@martindouge4504]

Pretty sure he laughs cause the voice actor was struggling so much with the language that he didn't want to speak it.

[@DoctorDeath147]

June 21, 2012? It should have been uploaded 6 months later on December!

[@azazellemon9444]

I'm just wondering how it's still on there.

[@metalsonicdoll]

tribal languages, such as Mayan, are extremely closely related to the original Indo-European language

[@Apparu]

0:03 favourite part

[@EnigmaticNothing]

0:45 Must have been one articulate laugh

[@Gojoseon]

I wonder if there's anyone who can translate Pacal's lines...that would be so cool.

[@Norocmorth]

The best leader in civilization, anyone agree?

[@Gojoseon]

What about the other lines?

[@espantalho93]

Greetings, wayward one. I am known as Pacal.

[@phoenixsprite]

The Mayans were mostly centralized in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico and certain areas of Central America, so, to correct you: "North American pimp".

[@Rayman2457]

"I would offer refreshments but I have an apocalypse to prepare for." Hahaha very funny

[@TOGBrony]

Mmm The mayas never say that in 2012 was The end of The word onlie they say that is gonna be The beginning of a new era and sinse then The calendary reset to Day 0 but you know people exagerate thinks >.>

[@vanagandrepitome6153]

DAT HEADRESS

[@cleoupatra8102]

I love how he laughs at 0:44 and it still puts a translation.

[@slopedarmouredpony]

Well im sure the brick that was holding those feathers was pretty heavy. Talk about real back strength, looks like it's between him and Alexander to see who takes Catherine out for dinner.

[@IlJaxartes]

such a nice boy.

[@MrJarth]

yup :D

[@allrashit]

her true full name was k'inich janaab pakal

[@Roobleram]

That's not entirely true, there was a lot of cultural and religious similarity between themselves. Plus, they built onto the architectural styles of previous civilizations like the Olmec, Toltec, Nazca and Wari.

[@WarlordM]

What is up with this guy? He seems frigging insane.

[@hnos8a]

in my game pacal feathers don't spawn, its really funny

[@noaokami]

I bet Montezuma is jealous of dat hat there. heuh

[@Avewre]

This video is fun! Hahaha

[@Vahkitauti]

its kinda creepy actually

[@hjeriz]

Click language ?

[@KaeshurDemon]

No, just a lot of glautal stops

[@NCXitlali]

Glotal stops. We have those in my tongue as well.

[@DoctorDeath147]

No, but there are plenty of ejectives

[@MrJarth]

Nothing wrong with being gay you know, unless you actually think there is...

[@0NoName9]

Please someone tell me that the apocalypse he refers to isn't the modern 2012 bullshit but actually something relevant.

[@paulsmith5752]

I reckon he's a Klingon.

[@pinotate4140]

0:11 What the fuck happen to this dudes voice?

[@TerraShock10]

Whatever language he is speaking, it sounds really awkward to speak.

[@johanngaiusisinwingazuluah2116]

His teeth. So shiny.

yeah is awesomely scary, reminds me those womans dancing in brazilian carnival

[@jamestyler7697]

Pachacuti vs. Pacal who has this

[@Alchemisterius]

You seriously know his language? According to your channel, you are from Bulgaria. I would only expect that from someone from Central America or south eastern Mexico.

[@vanagandrepitome6153]

Wait... that thing is REAL metal, like GOLD and sh*t. His head must be made of vibranium

[@Manuss]

:C

it was a joke....
