William (Civ5)

William I (24 April 1533 – 10 July 1584), also known as Willem van Oranje, William of Orange, or William the Silent, was the main leader of Dutch revolts against the Spanish in the Eighty Years' War and the founder of the United Provinces in 1581. He leads the Dutch in Civilization V: Gods & Kings.
== In-Game ==
William I speaks an archaic form of Dutch, which still resembles the Dutch spoken in the southern part of the Netherlands. (In reality he would have spoken French, though he could have spoken some Dutch as well.) On his diplomacy screen, the room in which he is standing resembles the one in The Geographer, a painting by Johannes Vermeer. He carries a book that he reads when the player first meets him and sets on the table when defeated.

=== Personality and Behavior ===
William will likely aim for either a diplomatic victory or a cultural victory.
William focuses on building his navy, as well as . His empire tends to have a well-developed economy and many tile improvements, and his water connections will be some of the best.
Despite his emphasis on naval forces, William shows a pretty small interest in raising a strong army. His cities, however, will be very well defended.
William is generally a trustworthy ally, as he is very loyal and likes to declare friendship. This may change, however, if William sees the player as a warmonger.
William will also try to befriend and protect city-states. He will hardly ever attempt to conquer or bully them.

== Trivia ==
* Of the many ideas regarding William's nickname, "William the Silent," there exist two primary theories. One belief is that the moniker came from his utmost discretion when discussing matters of the state when he first served Emperor Charles V. The other, that his overall calm demeanor kept him quiet, but astute, in his duties, is equally plausible based on our knowledge of his legacy.
* A later descendant of William, William III, went on to become King of England after the Dutch invasion of England during the Glorious Revolution, when King James II of England was deposed.

== Intro ==
Hail stalwart Prince William of Orange, liberator of the Netherlands and hero to the Dutch people. It was your courageous effort in the 1568 rebellion against Spanish dominion that led the Dutch to freedom, and ultimately resulted in the Eighty Years' War. Your undertaking allowed for the creation of one of Europe's first modern republics, the Seven United Provinces. You gave your life to the rebellion, falling at the hands of an assassin in 1584, but your death would only serve to embolden the people's charge, and your legacy as "Father of the Fatherland" will stand as a symbol of Dutch independence for all time.
Brave prince, the people again yearn for the wise stewardship your wisdom afforded them. Can you once again secure the sovereignty of your kingdom and lead your people to greatness? Can you build a civilization that stands the test of time?
