Baldwin IV, the... Gamer King?

Something I've found interesting - and rather surprising, tbh - is the increasing number of games and game concepts in which Baldwin IV features, and not simply as inspiration for the characters' designs, but as himself.

Here's how many places I've found him and the accompanying artwork of him (all very obviously inspired by - you guessed it - Kingdom of Heaven)

==================

First, the actual games...

1) Evony: The King's Return

This article from One Chilled Gamer gives the details on his statistics.

2) Blood of Steel

You can find the details in this news announcement on the game's Steam hub.

3) European War 7: Medieval

It's a little harder to find information on this one, but there's a discussion thread here on him.

==================

Baldwin also makes an appearance in the mods for several games, including...

Sid Meier's Civilization V

This mod adds the Kingdom of Jerusalem as a civilization to the game, with Baldwin IV as its leader. There's info on him on this wiki page, including his war and peace themes ("The Holy Land" and "Siege of Kerak" from Crusader Kings 2, respectively.)

Sid Meier's Civilization VI

This mod also adds the Kingdom of Jerusalem into the next game of the series, again with Baldwin IV as its leader.

Crusader Kings III

This mod overhauls CK3 to allow the player to assume the role of any leader present in Kingdom of Heaven (as well as their contemporaries around Europe and Asia), including Baldwin IV - although you won't get to play as him for very long before his death.

==================

Finally, I've found some concept-style art of Baldwin floating around out there, too, although I'm not certain they are for an actual game or simply intended for a potential game if they happen to grab a developer's interest.

This one is by ShawnFox on Artstation:

And this one is by XuanHan Chen, also on Artstation:

==================

This is all I've personally been able to find so far, but there's probably more out there I've missed. If anyone has run across any other game-related art of Baldwin IV, please share!

israel bombed a HOSPITAL in gaza murdering so many children and newborns and women and elderly and men i feel so sick to my stomach i just saw a video and they're all scattered on the ground lifeless my god how can you still stand with that evil evil state? how can you still have the audacity to utter to even think 'Pray for Israel'?? why did the world give up on its humanity where are the international laws where are the fucking repercussions?? israel won't stop until it wipes off the entirety of gaza i am so angry and sad and i feel so fucking powerless im shaking what has our world come to

"Intentionally directing attacks against hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected is prohibited under international humanitarian law, provided they are not military objectives. Any such intentional attacks are WAR CRIMES." LIKE WHY ARE WE WATCHING AS ISRAEL COMMITS WAR CRIME AFTER WAR CRIME???? to attack a hospital murdering more than FIVE HUNDRED people and for it to go unpunished????? what is this what the fuck is going on why is this not maddening anyone

#if this doesn't anger you if this doesn't make you fuckin sick to your stomach #then you've given up on your humanity too #the images are so graphic and gut wrenching i feel so sick #i can't imagine being there and watching as KIDS and NEWBORNS are decapitated #don't stop talking about this don't turn a blind eye to it #don't turn off your tv and pretend as if nothing's happening #we learned about genocides in school we said never again and now it's happening #like if you still stand with israel even if it's 1% of your being if you still try to justify their actions then fuck you #fuck you and im tired of being civil #get off my page go seek help #you are as guilty as IDF the blood of innocents is as much in your hands as theirs #palestine

i hate the popular fandom arguments around the civil war questline in skyrim; because one side goes "racism is horrible but religious oppression and persecution including imprisonment, torture, and death isn't that bad actually" and the other goes "religious oppression is horrible but racism including regular use of slurs, stereotyping, segregation and the threat of violence isn't that bad actually"

and i'm sitting here going "they're both horrible, and both sides of a civil war having major issues is actually pretty accurate to real life and can we all please actually engage with what that means"

bethesda actually managed to write a pretty decent grey vs. grey morality with the civil war questline where both sides have major issues and valid grievances and the entire fandom just went "nope actually i don't see anything"

#also someone please ask me about how this parallels how a lot of ppl talk about and conceive actual conflicts #bc i have so many thoughts about this the civil war questline and its fandom perception and argument #are like the warcraft blood plague of understanding people's perceptions of conflict #smile rambles #skyrim #elder scrolls

Ava and Adriel are NOT cooperating. I'm writing Ch 2 of And the Sea became Blood. It's meant to be Enemies to Lovers (aka Villain annoys Heroine until she falls in love with him), so they're supposed to lock horns, but they're being civil. For fuck's sake, they're at some party, discussing how neither knew their dad. What is happening here.

Also, I'm not sure what's more scandalous - the fact that Archangel Michael will fall in love with the Antichrist, or the fact that she's bordering on functional alcoholism... She's having a hard time, let her be.

#warrior nun #warrior nun fandom #diary pages #writing journal #and the sea became blood #warrior nun biblical au #warrior nun fanfic #warrior nun fanfiction #avadriel #like seriously people your ENEMIES #act like damn enemies for a couple of chapters #but... I guess it's just hard for me to see how adriel would be running around burning churches and ava chasing him with a broom #only for them to suddenly conncet because of something #i mean i've plotted a couple of chappters and they definitely have meaningful events to develop #but i feel like there has to be something kindred in them from the beginning even though ava couldn't trust him less #she's wearing roman armour she might as well drink like a roman soldier #but it's whiskey instead of wine #i'm just worried they're too civil from the beginning #and i mean yeah they're stalking each other they have to track each other

Civil Agent (Part 2)

Leon x GN!Reader

Words: 1,850 Contains: Slight Angst, Comfort, Leon protecting Reader.

Part 1 | Next

Sitting in the back room where all the kegs and extra bottles and cans were, Leon was knelt in front of you. He listened intently as you explain what you saw on your door and the movement of the shadow inside your house. You were trying your best not to cry, but after telling Leon about everything you couldn't hold it in anymore. The tears that had been blurring your vision the entire time finally spill over your bottom lid, falling to your lap as others slide down your cheek.

"I said out loud I forgot something in the Park, I just hope they didn't follow me here. But I ran.." You explained wiping your white dress shirt over your eyes and cheeks to get rid of the tears as you sniff.

Leon looks around and sees a box of tissues on a table in the corner of the room. Walking over there his left arm holds his right forearm to support it, taking the box of tissues and offering it to you. You take the box and pull out a square of the soft paper to blow your nose, wiping your eyes with the folded side. "You should sling up your arm." You state trying to take your mind off everything.

"I'm fine."

"No.. You're not. Sit." You demand as you stand up and motion to where you had just been sitting. Leon just sighs and sits down as instructed, there was no point in fighting you, besides, he was far too tired. Sitting down he leans against the wall, head making a quiet bonk sound as he completely leant into the old, stone wall for support. You could see just how tired he was and you felt guilty about keeping him up. It was currently almost 5am, and you were feeling the heaviness of your own eyes. Once he was sat and comfortable you walk through another door, leading further away from the bar and open a metal cabinet on the wall. You manage to find a sling amongst all the different first aid items in there, closing the cabinet and door as you make your way back over to Leon.

His eyes were closed, head still resting back on the wall, you didn't know how long this man had been awake for. He must have been dozing because when you tuck the sling under his right elbow he flinched, head jolting upright. Leon looks up to you before relaxing his body back against the wall again. "It alright, it's just me." You say as you reach around the back of his neck to tie it up.

"Thank you." He says quietly.

You smile at each other for a moment, your nerves had seemed to calm since talking to him, more so once you decided to take care of Leon's injured arm. The moment was short lived when Leon heard the whirring of a minigun outside, turning his head to where he hear the sound.

"What is th-!!" You were suddenly tackled to the ground, Leon's hand at the back of your head so you didn't hit it on the hard stone-like floor. His body laying atop yours as the spray of ammunition takes out the fridges beside you. Your arms tucked at yours and Leon's chest as you huddle into him, letting out a shriek of fear.

When it had finished the both of your were covered in glass and a mix of alcohol and soft drink. Feeling the stickiness of your skin your wipe your face as Leon stands up pulling out a gun from his back awkwardly with his left hand.

"You have a GUN!" You shouted in a hushed whisper.

Leon just looked to you from the side of his eye and stands up putting a finger to his lips to shushing you silently. You do as you were told, but don't move, you were too scared to. He walks silently over to the doorway that leads to the pub bench and bar tender area. The front door was completely blown off it's hinges and stepping through is a large man. He was definitely infected with something to be that big, wearing a black robe he had nothing in his hands. Leon looks to the door you had gone through moments ago to get the sling for him. Mouthing if there was an exit out through there.

You nod your head and Leon motions with his nose for you to get out of here. You stand to your feet stepping on some glass that was all around and on you. Leon looks to the large man that had entered, his head now turned in the direction he heard you standing up. Leon stepping through the doorway slightly and shoots at the man with his left hand. Missing the first 2 shots but the other 3 hit his chest and head. It only slowed him down a little bit, Leon turned to the door seeing you had left through another one with shining exit sign above it. Removing the sling once again, Leon throws it on the bench and runs out behind the bar, leading the man away from you. Shooting at the him now with his right hand, his left helping hold it up as he fires 4 rounds into the man's head, who falls to the ground on his back. Leon leaps over the tall bench and stands amongst the tables and chairs. The room was dark but Leon could use that to his advantage.

Still training his handgun on the man on the ground, he knew that couldn't be it for him. He had dealt with too many things to know just a few bullets to the head wasn't going to stop this guy. The large man wasn't moving however, so Leon cautiously sneaks over to him, the carpeted flooring of the large pub made it easier for him to be silent. Standing a metre away from the man, Leon kicked his large booted foot to see if he got any reaction. With incredible speed the man shot up, grabbing Leon around the neck causing him to make a "Hrk" sound.

-----

You had run around the side of the building, carefully looking around the corner to see if anyone else was out the front. Only the mini gun lay on the ground in front of the entrance to the pub, this must have been the man in your house? You slowly walk to the front of the building, the gunshots had stopped so you peer into the smashed window. Leon was hanging in the air by his throat, his gun being swat out of his hand as he tried to raise it to the man's head. You had to do something!

Running to the open doorway you rip a sharp piece of wood from the threshold and run at the man, the force pushed it through his back impaling him. The large man shouts in a deep growl, letting go of Leon who drops to the ground with a hard thud. Even on carpet you could hear how hard he landed. You rush over to him, picking up his gun on the way and grabbing under his left arm, pulling him to his feet.

"We have to go!" Leon says with urgency and grabs your hand, still not steady on his feet he pulls you outside to his bike.

You stand there looking back into the pub as Leon started inspecting his bike quickly. "Leon, I don't think your bike has scratches on it. Can we just go?!"

"Not what I'm checking for." He said laying on his back. He reaches up to pull something off the bottom of the fuel tank, throwing it to the ground you saw a small metal disk with a red flashing light.

"Oh.." You say, your attention suddenly being drawn to the man standing up and pulling the wood out of his back, turning to the doorway. "Leon.."

He gets off the ground and sits on his bike, pulling the key from his pocket. "Get on!" He says and you don't hesitate. Sliding on behind him you wrap your arms around his body, eyes still watching the man now ducking through the threshold of the entrance.

The bike roars into life and you take off down the road, speeding through the streets and onto the main freeway. You pass many cars on their way to work early in the morning, the sun soon wanting to come up. Your face was still buried in the back of Leon's leather jacket, your arms holding onto him as tight as possible, legs squeezing Leon's hips. He turns off the freeway and starts heading into the hills, your eyes opening once you had realised there were no more lights shining on you. Seeing trees and the sides of the hills as you wind around corners. Leon felt your head lift away from his back, but your grip still holding him tight.

Eventually after 20 minutes of speeding through the hills Leon pulls into a driveway and stops in front of a large house.

"Hop off and head inside." He said over the purring of the engine. He digs through his jacket pocket and pulls out some keys as you slide off the bike. He hands them to you and drives off to take his bike around the back of the large, two story-looking, modern, white house. You didn't want to admire it right now, just wanting to get inside to safety. You walk up the wooden stairs onto the porch to the double white doors you try the different keys, getting the right one on the 3rd try. Turning the key you enter the house and put the keys in a ceramic bowl on a short table with drawers and doors. You hear the footsteps of boots walking up the wooden steps behind you and spin around as fast as lightning.

"Easy.." Leon put his left arm up, his right arm across his front, right hand holding his left side. "It's just me."

You guard goes down and you step back, further into the house to allow Leon to enter as well. He closed the door and locks it, turning on the light beside it for the room. You see an open area. Not much furniture, a large grey lounge in the middle of the large space and a big flat screen tv over against the wall. It was almost hidden by the stairs to your left, leading up to a loft area above your head and to the right. On the first level to your right were rooms under the loft, one looking to be a guest room. You walk further into the house soaking it all in when you heard a hiss from Leon, turning around you see him sliding down against the doors, still holding his left side.

"Leon?! What's wrong?!" You asked, reaching outr to him with your left arm. You stop in your tracks when you notice your white sleeve was no longer white. It was soaked in red, eyes widening. You look back to him as he pulled his right hand from his side showing it was also now dripping with blood.

"Shit.." He whispered to himself.

shitposting with friends earlier, this is clipped from a larger comic about Sapioflore Emmet and honey.

For context, honey (despite being a relatively common product) is not something most Sapioflores are comfortable eating since most of them make nectar on their own. Even if the honey comes from non-sapient plants, most Sapioflores are weirded out by eating it since it reminds them of their own bodily fluid.

One of many exceptions is Emmet. He often (over)exerts himself, and to keep himself from getting too weak or hungry, he usually keeps a range of foods on hand as snacks to eat through the day. He likes honey since it's basically condensed sugar, plus he just like the flavour/texture. He buys jars in bulk and works through his supply over a few weeks/months, much to Ingo's dismay. Emmet has offered him honey on multiple occasions, but Ingo is generally uninterested so he doesn't bother. More for him after all :)
