#the whole mulan plotline had fun ideas but didn't really do much with them

What are your thoughts (if you have any) on more of the “historic” characters like King Arthur being added? I think they could make Cleopatra a cool character, maybe you play as her post-death in smite where she’s partially mummified? Idk there’s a lot of mixed opinions on these types of characters being included

i think @off-with-there-heads (tag isn’t working rip 😔) talked about it a while ago or put the idea of cleopatra in smite in my head at some point and i think i was okay with the idea 🙏 i love cleopatra but i don’t trust hi-rez with her at all, she’s gonna be like hera or morgan and lack any real nuance lol.

i also don’t super love the idea of cleopatra being half mummified, like that point you may as well portray her with an asp biting her. if achilles can be in the game alive with no questions then cleopatra deserves that as well lol 🥴 she could also have a fun kit charming enemies, politically scheming by setting up traps or something and getting minions to fight for her lol. cleopatra as a support summoner... kinda sickening and her ult can be her giant fancy boat that got antony Horny... love love love that. kinda wanna explore that more, let’s put in a pin in that for now

anyways i was famously against the arthurian pantheon when they arrived but they’re p beloved additions to the smite roster so it’s totally fine. a good god can come from anywhere, guan yu from what i remember was a real dude who became a god so i’m not one to gatekeep additions to the smite cast who have those stories told about them and as much as i rag on hi-rez for the addition of mulan i did like her joining the cast even if hi-rez fucked up her appearance 😳

for me my limit was at racist octopus bc that’s too recent for me and no one’s praying to that so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i prefer to see Gods with a capital g who were properly worshipped and i prefer the addition of ancient gods over more modern figures in general. i certainly don’t want to see something like the god of the internet or something like that in-game but i think those could make interesting skins 🤔

but yeah. ‘historic’ god/deity additions are cool by me 😌🙏 love this checklist of different types of possible god additions to smite tho, who’s next for judgement lol
