Unofficial TAM 1.97 Animated LeaderHeads

Note
----
Playing TAM so far, I always asked myself why LHs were simple static pictures.
Looking around the graphics forum, I found lots of original and/or user-made LHs to improve TAM well.
Soon I started to collect existing LHs from Vanilla, Warlords and several forum-user-artists. I'm not an art designer, so I changed some backgrounds to better express historical and geographical leaders provenience. I've tried to represent each original TAM static leader with a similar animated one, as much as possible.
Give it a try, then give me feedback.
Any artist would improve such TAM animated LHs is welcome!

Installation
----------
1) Download the RAR archive
2) Put it inside tam ASSETS folder (tipically C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods\The Ancient Mediterranean\Assets)
3) Use winrar "Extract here" function overwriting existing files

Enjoy!

Download
---------
(If you encounter problems with direct-download, do not left-click the link but instead right-click and copy path, then paste the URL in a new browser window to download)

EDIT
No more downloads because LHs are in TAM 1.99
Download the mod! ;)

I've just uploaded a new TAM Animated LHs versions (1.1) and I've added also a screenshots preview.

Although not necessary, if you downloaded a previous version of TAM LHs, before installing I suggest to erase the folder
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods\The Ancient Mediterranean\Assets\Art\LH
in order to save hard disk space ;)

Version 1.1 contains a new TAM epic opening soundtrack. :)
If you dislike it, remove the file
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods\The Ancient Mediterranean\Assets\Sounds\Soundtrack\OpeningMenu .mp3
to restore original Civ4 Vanilla theme ;)

I've updated the screenshots preview, also. ;)

Version 1.2 contains a different opening soundtrack, also.

Nice work indeed compiling this, I have to admit to being superficial enough to need the animated LH's these days!! :lol:

Actually, I haven't looked at TAM for a while, so I will dig it out and give it a play.

Cheers
