I am pretty sure the only way to add animated leader heads to the game is with a .nif file. If you have that, then just drop the files into the

\Assets\Art\Interface\Leaderheads

directory and edit the "CIV4LeaderHeadInfos" file under the <ArtDefineTag> and then the "CIV4ArtDefines_Leaderhead" file under the <NIF> tags.

it would be quite interesting if you could give a tutorial on how to create an animated 3d leaderhead.

Well I can do tutorial to modelling, texturing and animating leaderheads but i'm not sure does that .nif trick works... becouse every leader have some emotions like Catharine's slapping animation or Kublai's Angry animation...

it would be good to have some video-type animations, so you could put your own camer-recorded face into the leaderhead box instead of Washington's or gandhi's
