I need a sort of generic looking male leaderhead for my Champa and Ramanadesa civilizations in a new scenario I'm creating. Normally I don't make a lot of requests, but it was impossible to find any good replacements for them. I'll try and post some pics, but it's really difficult to find good ones.

Mon
Couldn't find any. I'll try and find some Burmese instead. They could probably replace it.

For the Mon, you can perhaps use Queen Cama, immortalized in Mahathera Bodhiramsi's "Camadevivamsa." She was the founder of Haripunjaya, which is in the area now known as Chiang Mai (and previously "Lan Na"). Although a prominent figure in Thai legend (Bodhiramsi linked her ultimately with Adittharaja, ruler of Lan Na, in a legend where Adittharaja finds the site of a Buddha relic that previously was the basis for the justification of Queen Cama's reign), she was a Mon ruler. There is a statue of her in Chiang Mai. But I can't find a good enough picture of it online...

Actually, now that I think about it, I think you can use Shiro's "Suriyothai" as Queen Cama since R8FXT also has a Suriyothai leaderhead. :)

I needed male leaders for a reason;). I'll try again and see if I can find some pics. But it is really hard.
