Yes :D. I owe it to CIV gold for the idea to use Gandhi as Yagan, but the body art was kind of based on other pics of warriors from the Noongar.

I'm not a huge fan of every leaderhead here, but some of these really are amazing. Yagan is infinitely better than the current one, much more like his photo. George of Greece is excellent as well. I also like the Hittite Darius and the new Kamehameha.

As for those that could use improvement: The Assyrian guy is still too close to Hamurabi for my tastes, as is the Champan, the Hungarian, and the Lombard. Piye's face and headdress seem a bit overly-shiny, but I really like his tunic's coloring. The Irish fellow is just about perfect in distinctiveness, but I think that he would be even better if his chain shirt was retextured somehow to separate it more from Ragnar's.

All in all though, I really like these. I hope that CivGold and some other mods incorporate several of these leaderheads, especially Yagan and George. Thank you very much.

Yes, I might do a completely new Lombard one next time, but Piye's "shininess" is not just in him, but in the original Ramesses LH. It is probably just more defined because of his darker skin. As for Che Bong Nga (the Champan one), there wasn't much information I could find out about him, so a LH was out of the question. Perhaps I could model him more of Dai Viet leaders or just completely make something up. As for the "Irish Guy" (Brian Boru), I was just happy I could get him in and out of blender and make him work in-game! I've been having trouble with that (my blender-edited LH's usually get all screwy in-game), so I focused more on the basic model than the minute details of his texture. I just lightened the chainmail for Boru, but I could replace it with an authentic Irish one perhaps. I appreciate the suggestions by the way!

Awesome! I'm going to add these to WoC.

Now, as you've released your mod, onto the Leaders Project?

I had a look on your mod. Besides some language issues (for example furdo is not furdo but fürdő, but I don't want to bellyache about that: I am of hungarian herritage and I also do spelling mistakes, my english is also horrible I guess): well done. The reason your mod is of interest for me is, that I'd like to use your Matthias Corvinus leaderhead for my magyar mod. He is quite alright: background, clothes, crown... all alright. Could you just remoive the beard and make the hair dark? Maybe the hair could be even a bit reddish (you know: never met him personally...). If you like I do a picture search for you. If you could make him even perfect, I would have all leaders of hungary animated since Zerver has finished Széchenyi, started to work on Szent István / Stephen (preview looks very good), and wants to make Árpád and Kossuth for me as well. What do you say? :please:

may i request for more screenshots? :D

of course! i'll get some up of the UU's and UB's right now. If there's any other ones anyone wants, speak up

got the screenshots up, their of all the UU's and UB's, i left the names blank to let everyone figure them out :mischief:

ah, how mean. :)

By the way, if anyone has any requests/suggestions for the second version, let me know.

Does the new version of your mod already include a new Matthias Corvinus leaderhead (over 300MB are a bit too much to simply load it and try it out, you know)?

If I am understanding your question correctly then...yeah, the current version has Hungary as a civ, and Matthias Corvinus is the leader.

Quick question, I dl'ed your mod and would like to use it to play a map of Europe but can't get your new civ's to work in the WBS. I am pretty familliar with the WBS but can't seem to get these civ's typed in correctly. Could you post (or PM me) the exact syntax for adding say Poland, with a leader and starting location in the WBS. Thanks.

Unfortunatly I think you got me wrong. I requested for some changes on the LH some posts before and you gave me a positive answer (if I got YOU right...). My question last time was about this new Matthias Corvinus. If all of your screenshots are up to date, then the new one is not yet included...:sad: :sad:

Oh, sorry!! No, the new Matthias Corvinus isn't yet included, but I can just post the file seperately (to re-upload the file to atomic gamer would be a hassle, it took like 6 hours to upload :badcomp:. But I can definitely post the file seperately, and you could just copy and paste the graphics to replace the old ones :goodjob:

Cool... It isn't funny to load 300MB only because of a leaderhead. On the other hand I like to use the graphics for my own mod (if that's no problem for you, I'll credit you of course) and it would be more handy if I can load it seperatly. :king:

I have collected 3 pictures I could find of Matthias Corvinus. I found two with him with light blonde hair, and another one of him with black. I don't know which one is the most reliable, or which one you would prefer I use.

Okay, I've done a picture search. Although I found picture where he has blonde hair too, darker hair was more common.

Some of my pictures are black/white, others show paper money (that are colored), but they also point to a darker hair colour. At least it seems Matthias Corvinus was well-manicured and on 99% of the pictures he has no beard. Maybe somebody knows more pctures (from history books etc) which can be scanned and posted here. In my oppinion the beard has to be removed, but it is still your LH.

thats great, thanks a ton! I already removed the beard, but maybe I'll use a whole new model. The one i used for my mod looked a lot like the Charlemagne model (so far, I'm thinking the Joao model), but these pictures you gave me look less like him. I could post a new version for those who would like to download it (when I'm finished, of course)

Cool. Just tell me if I can help you again.

How do you install these? I loaded the mod but I get no new civs in bts. :confused:

Will do. :)

You have to first save the mod to the regular mods folder (I assume you know what that is, if not, just let me know). Then, you go into Esnaz's Mod/ and open up the Esnaz's Mod text file (the ini file). Go down to where it says Modular XML Loading= 0, and change the 0 to a 1.

If that doesn't make a difference, let me know

I finished the Matthias Corvinus LeaderHead, it was hard to cover up the hole in his head perfectly, but I think it looks pretty good. Check the first post for the download link

Here's a picture:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads//matthias_index_jTL.jpg

Suggestions? Alright, here goes...

For existing models:
1) Theodora's cloak is good, but the hand-tied knot just doesn't look fancy at all. Perhaps replacing the cloak model with the Ragnar one would do the trick, or covering/altering the knot into some sort of metal insignia?
2) The Hittite fellow's turban is fine I suppose, but I think it might look even better with a retextured Hannibal helmet. It would separate the design from Darius even more. Furthermore, the Hittites and Carthaginians were related, so a similar helmet would even make sense.
3) I love the Nebuchadnezzar design, but I'm not completely sold on the striped hat. It just doesn't match the rest of the outfit in my view.
4) The Assyrian leader is too much like Hammurabi. Perhaps with a different beard, possibly Mehmed's robe as well?
5) I still think Ben Gurien needs a straight tie instead of a bow tie to fit him more and distance him from Churchill.

For additional models:
1) To round out the Aborigines, I think that Peter the Great could be recolored and altered a little (no mustache) to make a great Bennelong. Including him would also present a very different version of the civ from that represented by Yagan.
2) I'm still really hoping that someone will do a good Joshua leaderhead for Israel based on Hannibal. He'd be a good, aggressive/spiritual leader.
3) I really want to see a Selassie I of Ethiopia based on Alexander (no paudrons or laurels). He'd wear a military outfit and have a beard (possibly painted-on).
4) I'd really like to see Cato of the Romans make an appearance to represent the old republic. He could possibly be a white Shaka with a robe of some sort.
5) Finally, how about another Egyptian? Someone like Akenaten or Kufu. He could be based on a completely different model but with the traditional headdress and/or beard added.

So there, five alteration suggestions and five new requests. Take them or leave them, but I'd really love to see them.

Your Corinus looks wonderful. I'll try it out soon.

EDIT: Tried the new Matthias Corvinus. Very well done. A minor thing: he looks a bit strange from the side. Nevertheless he will be in the next version of the magyar mod. You'll get credits of course.

Suggestions? Alright, here goes...


Thanks for all of those, I'll try some out in the next version. I never would have thought of using Peter as an aborigine.

Yes, getting the top of his head perfect was difficult, but i'll try to get that better for the next version.

These are silly questions, but I'll ask them anyway:
Did you load the mod in the game (Advanced-->Load a Mod-->Esnaz's Mod)?
Did you save it to C:/Program Files/Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword/Mods?
Did you extract the files?
Does the mod name appear in the corner of the BTS main menu?
Umm...I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'll let you know if I think of anything else. It just seems weird, usually the problem is the "Modular Xml Loading=0"

Yes to all of the above, i'll check back now and again to see if you have any tips to get it working.

Maybe you've installed it with an extra folder? Like: Mods\Esnaz Mod 1.0\Esnaz's Mod\Assets...

You could also try going to My Documents/My Games/Beyond the Sword/ and open the Civ4 ini file (text file) and cange the Modular XML Loading= 0 to Modular XML Loading= 1. I'm not sure if you still need to do that with the latest patch, or maybe you don't have the latest patch and you have to change the modular settings there.

3) I really want to see a Selassie I of Ethiopia based on Alexander (no paudrons or laurels). He'd wear a military outfit and have a beard (possibly painted-on).

Done for CIV Gold 3.0, but not in posted beta. It will be in the final (posted this week). He is based on Alexander, with a beard, and a modified Stalin hat.

esnaz may, as always, use the LH for his mod as he sees fit.

What might make another nice peaceful Aboriginal leader would be Mokare. He'd probably be Cha/something, he maintained peace between the settlers and the Aborigines and also helped the white settlers explore the land. He even became close friends with several white settlers.

A completely new question:
I'm doing research for v.2, but I'm having trouble getting a Harappan/Indus Valley Unique Unit, anyone have any ideas?

For the Harappan/Indus Valley Unique Unit it should be some sort of defensive axeman. Although not much is known, archeological finds seem to suggest they were into extensive copper working (and some low bronze). I think an axeman with an obsidian axe blade (like the Egyptian axeman) could also be a good choice, because they were good with precious stone working.

Or go for something new and replace the Spy unit with "Indus Valley Trader", although I'm not sure in what way it should be unique.

Here is a huge BTS map of Europe for Esnaz's mod. My attemps at posting screen shots have resulted in failure thus far so anyone wishing to post one please feel welcome.

Playable civs are England, Celt(in Ireland), France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Lombards, Austria, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Ottoman.

Please feel free to post comments/suggestions for future improvement to starting locations, resources, play balance.

that's a good idea, thanks for that. as for their UB, I was using a sewer, which I can see most other people who create that civ use. As for a leader, I found one, but it took a while: Shambara. He was known to be the leader of the Danu culture (with their central city at Harappa). He was also known as "Shambara and the Hundred Forts." He probably built them or something. If anyone has any other leader ideas for them, that would be great.

As for a leader, I found one, but it took a while: Shambara. I'm not sure if he's really a leader of the Indus Valley, but its the closes I could find. If anyone has any leader ideas for them, that would be great.

Harappan artifacts are notoriously lacking in their reference to rule and leadership. There is a famous statue referred to as the "Priest King", which gave rise to the assumption that such an arrangement existed. Most scholars doubt this was the case.

Instead, Harappan and the Indus Valley is thought to have been ruled by a Mercantile elite.

CIV Gold will use "Rishi" - a term meaning "scholar" - as a figurehead leader for the civilization.

Indus Sewer is, indeed, the UB, and "Priest King" will make an appearance as the UU.

"Priest King" will make an appearance as the UU.

Another possibility would be some type of ox-cart unit. The Harappans were known for their invention of it (i think, or at least they used it a lot). I was thinking either a settler or scout, as the Harappans gained a lot through trade. The only problem is that I'll have trouble getting the unit together (an ox pulling a cart...probably use a chariot and a cow w/horns or something)

I've played your mod several times, and its very nice. One thing though, I think that you should add a little more the Huszar pedia entry...its a little too general. Otherwise, great mod! the Yagan guy is really good

One thing that I definitely am disappointed with is the lack of comments on this thread, I worked months on this mod and it seems as if comments are being overlooked. The amount of downloads shouldn't support the amount of comments (the ratio of downloads to comments isn't good [not saying there should be 427 comments, but more than there are now]) :(

:sad: On behalf of all those who civ I do apologize. I'll immediately DL & comment:worship:

Oh... I see... 370 MB download... It'll take bit longer...

On another note, I've compiled a list of cities for the Goths, but most of the cities are those of their predecessors, the Wielbark and Cernjachov cultures who are the "pre-Goth" Goths. I was wondering if anyone knows of a reliable list (the current circulating ones aren't reliable, the Visigoth one is made up, as is the Ostrogoth one. As for the one in Amra's and others, their not just of cities, but of words in the Gothic Language [such as fairguni, meaning mountain], or just lands they've lived in [such as Scandza or Gotland]. Here's the list I've compiled:
Árheimar
Vistula
Odessus
Noviodunum
Tomi
Basmachka
Alexandrovka
Rumarov
Sovari
Novie Gorodok
Feddersen Wierde
Reccopolis
Budesty
Victoriacum
Ologicus
Lugo id est Luceo
Cernjachov
Poltava
Kosanovo
Lepeskovka
Baiyara
Maslomecz
Grodek
Sobar
Lukasevka
Soloneceny
Kosnica
Veke
Rusjany
Kobuska
Zagajkany
Delakeau
Petrikany
Komrat
Dancu
Botosani
Jassy
Ionaseni
Odry
Kovel
Dahmsdorf-Munchenbaurgs
Szabadbattyan
Letcani
Mogosani
Olteni
Spantov
Izvorul

Brilad-Valea Seaca

To be honest, I used the city list from Calgacus' lists (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=27092) but I didn't try to verify all the names. I'm not sure if the Goths ever really founded a lot of cities. ;)

Be aware that if you ever use the Goths as a custom civilization, you have to address the overlap with the Goths barbaric uprising event (in XML/Events) which was introduced with BTS.

- Goths
- Huns
- Vandals
- Vedic Aryans
- Philistines

Which reminds me...

If you are going to use Goths as a custom civilization, be aware (once again) that Goth is used twice as a city name in the cities list of CIVILIZATION_MINOR and CIVILIZATION_BARBARIAN. The same goes for Harappan as a custom civilization. I would suggest my Default Civs Front Loader (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=253535) to make these changes.

Correct. I would suggest creating files for the sole purpose of overwriting those default Firaxis definitions.

For example, create a file /Custom Civilizations/Goths/Default_CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml and copy the definitions for CIVILIZATION_MINOR and CIVILIZATION_BARBARIAN and remove the entries for the Goth city name.

In this way you replace by overwrite and keep your module Plug & Play. I prefer to put Default_CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml straight under /Modules/ though, so I can do more changes to the default Firaxis civs when needed for other modules.

Thanks, thats an interesting way to do it...with the whole "Default" thing. Nice solution.

One more thing: are the Geats the same as the Goths? Several sources say yes, some say no. What does the Civfanatics community willing to post here say?

I would say no, although they might have originated from the same region. Most likely the names are closely linked. This reminds me of the question if the Huns are the same as Hsiung-nu.

As I see it, the Goths (and also the Huns) only became the Goths when they arrived at the borders of the classical western empires.

In the civ game your civilization originates from a fixed spot, your first city. In real world history it is not so clear with migrating peoples.

Although the Goths did live in several areas for long periods of time. They set up cities in those areas, but lack of sources, not lack of settlement, are the cause for the scarcity of cities.

Ok, but my point was that they migrated and not expanded from their first settlement like other "civilizations" such as Rome. So, returning to the original question: are the Geats the same as the Goths?

Maybe they were once one people, but the Goths became the Goths when they "settled" near ancient Greece and by that time they were distinct from the Geats, by location mostly.

Ah, okay, I was confused by the phrasing

By the way, if anyone has any requests or suggestions for other versions, let me know and I'll be happy to implement them into the mod!

I have just posted a Robert the Bruce LH (see my sig) that will be featured in the v2 of my mod

Downloading now, will be my first mod, will be fun to get some additional civ's in there

I'll let you know if I run into any problems!

QUick question...

If I wanted to download Civ Gold and use his 23 civs as well, is there a way to combine yours and his into one mod?

Just curious as this is REALLY new territory for me.... I've been playing Civ for like 10 years and have never worked with mods before

Thanks!

No, not easily if you aren't acquainted with XML. My mod is modular, but CIV Gold 3.0 isn't. If it was, it might take a little bit of work for the diplomacy and audio files, but not that much..

BTS CIV Gold 3.0 (to be released very, very soon) is modular, as is the beta version, and contains 36 added civs. Apart from the possible merging of Diplomacy and Audio there is some overlap with added civs between these 2 modpacks.

Played about 4 hours last night with Isreal, and had Ireland right next to me

Both looked fantastic, the music for Ireland was subtle and about perfect... looked through the Civiliopedia, I was really impressed with some of the civs

Overall was really enjoying it, thanks Esnaz

What do you mean by: merging of Diplomacy and Audio?

:mad: you did a terrible job of editing the leader heads

That was not very nice. Sure, some of the leaderheads aren't great, but some of them like Yagan are really quite exquisite.

Generally, people who complain about how bad something is are incapable of doing better and they expect something that is perfect for free. Don't let it bother you esnaz, you did a fine job.

:mad: you did a terrible job of editing the leader heads

Usually, if people aren't satisfied with the creations of another, they either don't say it meanly or offer constructive criticism such as "use this model instead" or "your textures aren't detailed enough." Nasty comments just spoil your reputation and annoy the creator and others and I don't appreciate them.

I for one think the leaderheads look just fine!:goodjob:

What do you mean by: merging of Diplomacy and Audio?

If you want to combine modular mods, you have to merge/update your Audio and/or Diplomacy XML (and other non-modular parts) one way or the other. I did not mean merging Audio with Diplomacy.

Got it :thumbsup:

With the help of Fierabras, I have recently reduced the size of Esnaz's mod from 370.6 MB to 111.7 MB!

How? Removing some art files?

My help involved not reducing the size of the mod, but reducing the size of the download :scan:

Reducing the size of the mod was all Esnaz (converting sound files :rockon: ).

Reducing the size of the mod was all Esnaz (converting sound files :rockon: ).

The wav files were about 540 MB! By converting them to mp3's, they were reduced to 74 MB. I should have noticed that before :mischief:

Would you be willing to split these fabulous civs into modules? I prefer to pick everything.

Would you be willing to split these fabulous civs into modules? I prefer to pick everything.

Sure, they are all in modular format, so it shouldn't be that difficult. It might take longer than expected because I'm working on a version two right now that I'm a day or two behind on. But I'll get to it ASAP :thumbsup:

Edit: Nevermind...check my next post

Aeven, if you just want to exclude some of them for a game, you can also make them temporarily non-playable. Just edit each Civname_CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml for the civs you want to exclude and change:


<bPlayable>1</bPlayable>
<bAIPlayable>1</bAIPlayable>


to


<bPlayable>0</bPlayable>
<bAIPlayable>0</bAIPlayable>


Esnaz, you can release them all separate of course, but then be prepared for other requests like: "can you make a version with these in it, but not those..."

Esnaz, you can release them all separate of course, but then be prepared for other requests like: "can you make a version with these in it, but not those..."

Exactly, I was just thinking over that...and it will be a long and tedious process. If I get a bunch of requests, perhaps I'll be up to it. But at the moment, I'm dealing with lots of other problems, splitting up the mod being the least. I'm really sorry Aeven, but Fierbras had a good suggestion, and knowing you [Aeven] work with XML, its not totally unreasonable to ask you to just go into several XML files and change a 0 to a 1. Once again, I apologize.

Yes, I understand ;) But even people who know (to some extent) how to mod, will likely prefer to do it the easy way. ;)

Hey there!

I've installed the Mod as per instructions with some of the additional info, but unlike some others, my game won't even show that the mod is there.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

First, go into:
My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\
open the CivilizationIV text file. Scroll down to where it says Modular XML Loading= 0 and change the 0 to a 1.

Do the same thing, except the file path should be:
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Esnaz's Mod
Open the Esnaz's Mod text file. Scroll down to where it says Modular XML Loading= 0 and change the 0 to a 1.


That should work :thumbsup:

That should work :thumbsup:

I found that earlier in the threads and tried it. The one in the My Games folder was set at 0, but I changed it to 1. The other one was already at 1.

Sorry to be a bother - any more suggestions?

Great mod, good Civ selections. colors, uu's/ub's and the
leaderheads are creatively done. (Mycenean one comes to mind)
(has anyone tried the avoided Protective/Organized or Creative/Charismatic for a leaders' traits?)

In order to get the mod to work i had to change the downloaded file Modular Loading to 1 but i did not have to change the setting in the main civ bts config. (which remains at 0)

There are many mods i can not get to work. Maybe they need to have Warlords/Vanilla/BTS (Patches) sub sections, but i am not sure the audience is there. At any rate it is nice to get a mod that loads
and plays easily.

I found that earlier in the threads and tried it. The one in the My Games folder was set at 0, but I changed it to 1. The other one was already at 1.

Sorry to be a bother - any more suggestions?

Of course, if you didn't load it (Load the game, click on "Advanced" then "Load A Mod" then "Esnaz's Mod" and allow the game to restart). Did you get the latest patch? If not, you should download it, that might make a difference. Did you place it in the correct folder (C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods)?

That's all I can think of for now. I'll let you know if I come up with anything else. Sorry I can't be of more help :(

After I copied all the mod files into the My Docs\My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS folder in addition to the Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization\Mods folder, it worked!

Thanks man!

There is your problem right there. If you only had the mod installed to the Program File/Fraxis Games/ Sid Meier's Civilization IV/ Mods folder the mod wont work as it is for BtS. If you go into the Beyond the Sword folder in the CivIV folder in program files you will find a mods folder. That is where the mod should be installed too.

Should have expected I was making such a simple mistake. First time mod user - even though I've been playing Civ since it first came out.

Maybe it's time to try multi or team play. Gotta broaden my horizons.

:( Got an Error report while "Verifying Installer". (Will try re-DLing.)

Okay...so there's a problem with the download...that's a real morale booster! :rolleyes: I'll try to fix it...but that may take a while, at least two hours.

If it's just in the Installer (or the DL site?) maybe mourndragon's suggestion is an idea?

The problem should be fixed; I didn't use NSIS to do any work. The only difference with the new file and the old one is that its ina .RAR file format and its a little bit bigger of a file.

thank-you esnaz !!
this mod works great with revolutions

OK, thx! Will try again.;)

EDIT: BTW, why isn't this one in the mods section?

Well, I did a little bit of map checking and it seems all of my scenarios so far are Esnaz-compatible. So, if you like for me to get started on any one in particular, please let me know.;)

(I may do them all, but CIV Gold 4.0 is due for release tomorrow, so I'll have to do some updates for that already.):hammer:

A complete list of my scenarios so far is in my Sig below. \!/ :deal:

BTW, why isn't this one in the mods section?

Its not really what most people would define as a "Mod," it only adds Civilizations, so that's where I put it. And I call it a Mod because so far, there is no widely-used term to describe a Multiple-Civilization-Adding Module.

Ah, sweet modesty! Anyway, I've started on converting The Crusades! for Esnaz (working title The Crusades for Esnaz) and have so far included the custom civs of Poland, Hungary and Khazaria succesfully (Khazaria performing the rôle of the Kumans). Am presently considering exchanging the Kingdom of Georgia for Bulgaria, to include them as well and encountered no problems so far starting up the scenario. Both custom civs and LHs, as well as UBs and UUs will ofcourse be included.

More news by tomorrow!;)

PS I started on a 1000 BC for Esnaz version as well, but ran into a bit of trouble trying to include the David LH and, after that, while trying to customize Assyria...

Did some editing of the map, gave most civs a State Religion - which incidentally fixed this issue with the original scenario. Couldn't do much else as I had to re-upload all my files & screenshots to the DL Database...

PS: I would have include more Esnaz custom civs, but when trying to include the Lombards with the Alboin leader, I ran into a bit of trouble: don't know if it was the Lombards or Alboin that caused it.

I'm also open to suggestions for including another Esnaz-civ for one that's in now.;)

Additionally, this thread is open to suggestions for future versions of this mod

Hi!

Nice Mod. It's great that you have tried to translate everything in other languages. If you are interested, i can help you out with the german names of the tribes. I think no one is right, but i can understand that. Even as german i have problems to figure out the correct names of all tribes.
My english is worse, so i try to make sure you understand what i mean.
I mean the stuff f.e. like: Gothic Empire (?) = Gothic Reich (it must be Gothisches Reich or Gothen-Reich) and Kanadisch Reich must be Kanadisches Reich.
If you want, i can fix the text-script and send it to you.

However, great work. Move on!

That would be great! At the moment, I've been using a combination of Wikipedia and the Microsoft Word translator to translate the text.

If you need a better translator, try this link. English to German works much better then the one you used. I don't know about the other languages, of course i can't speak them. I haven't found an english version, but it's easy in usage:

Anyway I can load this great mod that will allow me to play against more than 17 or 18 civs? Before I downloaded this mod I would play against 25 civs sometimes since I downloaded the giant earth map that had a dll to allow this....

I can only load 1 mod at a time..... Giant earth map with dll that allows me to play with 24 civs etc on any map.

Or this mod that adds soooo many new civs.... I want the best of both worlds if it is possible.... :)


Can someone add these new civs to a 24-30 Earth map by any chance?

Great job with the mod.

Thanks mourdraken! That was so simple.

I am pleased to report that The Crusades! for Esnaz'smod has reached 100 downloads!:)

I'm working on something else, but I started with Piye. Gave him African features. I could post the nonshader.dds . esnaz could you use him as is or should I just keep changing him further into my version of Imhotep ? I wasn't planning on releasing Piye. I certainly dig your mod. Keep up the good work.
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg260/mourndraken/provenleaders10.jpg

That's odd... I seem to have included Piye already in 1000 BC for Amra - just released. But I am curious how Imhotep turns out!;)

I scaled Shaka's nose to the same length as Ramses' and independently did the same with his lips to the same width as Ramses'. I equalized skin tones. I smoothed the seam. I colorized the head wrap to better match the body. I wanted a change from Ramses, so I copied Hatshepsut's neck saucer. I kept Ramses green eyes. I haven't seen Amra's work. What does he look like ?

Actually quite similar (I thought it was one and the same). Don't know if he's included in the preview pics, but you can check out the 1st post on his thread.;)

:egypt: how very interesting. so anyways. esnaz if you want to Africanize your Piye, I've wasted a few hours crafting a nonshader.dds that may help with that.

I really like the new Piye, it looks really nice! :thumbsup:
