Did you make it a UU.

Yes! Wy not??:)
Polish winged knight called hussar.

Piernik,

Is the mod available in pieces? In other words, can I take the Leaderhead stuff without the rest? If not, do you have it set up so that we can add it as a new civ without replacing an existing one?

You can download this one and then install it on a different folder (not civ3 folder) You will have leaderheads files there.
And yes this mod replaces another civ.

How to add it as a new civ? I can't do that.

You can easily add new civs with the editor came with the 1.29 patch.

BTW, don't you mind if i use this great stuff for my Europe mod(s) in the future? With credit to you, authors of course.

Anyway as i can see the mod is just awsome! At last we have a good (central)-eastern european nation! :goodjob:

I was wrong... sorry. In this mod we have added Poland;)
I thought about previous version... sorry;)

Hagen: I have to ask authors (I made graphic only)... so give me time;)

Err, in case you've misunderstood Piernik (and that's quite possible, we had a discussion about that about a minute ago :)) he was only refering to the possibility of viewing the leaderheads, not using them in another project. We don't permit the use of any part or of the entirety of this mod at the time.

Wow I just downloaded it and the opening is really good. It's worth downloading. I haven't actually tried to play with the Polish yet so I don't know if it will have some sort of problems or errors ,but Piernik has done some fine work from what I have seen so far. If you were looking for Poland as a Civ you should check this out.

I didn't want to use in another project...just for personal use. I had already created a Polish civ via the editor and downloaded a Hussar unit from this board. I just wanted to use the leaderhead images (to replace my current use of the Xerxes leaderhead) without wiping out the other stuff I've already done.

Why to create a new mod when this one is fully operational:)

Piernik: thanks.

Is it just me, or anyone else noticed that in the modern era pic Kazimir looks like Eddie Jordan a bit. ;)

I don't know a guy...:)

Because besides adding Poland, I've added some other civs as well. I want all of my new civs to be available when I play. If I just use your mod, I'm limited to just Poland plus the civs that came with the game.

Piernik: He is the head of a Formula 1 team, called Jordan team. Just cut modern Kazimirs hair, and make his eyeglasses rectangular... - they are twins. :lol:

Well, maybe it's just my oppinion. Here is the irish gentleman:

JBearIt: You can change only *.bic file (scenario) in civ3edit.
You will have leaderhead and unit... But you have to be careful with unit_32.pcx file (it's responsible for unit's icon in a city view)

Hagen: Pretty close;)

I know, I was trying to keep the description simple. In reality, to make additional civs work I need to not only make changes with the editor but also various art files, the diplomacy text, pediaIcons, etc. My point is that I have done all of that already and everything is working just fine. It's just that currently I am using the Xerxes art to represent Casimir. I want to add your leaderhead images to the mix so that the Xerxes art can go back to being used for just Persia's leader instead of both Persia and Poland.

So you can replace flc files but you can use it just for your own personal use, not give it to internet - sorry:)

hey! that's alexander underneath the laederhead isn't it? ;)

You've got to be kidding...
I've made this leader in 3D program so I had to make all by my self.

Wow! If you speak the truth, that is amazing! Would you be able to make some leaderheads (one era only) for my scenario? I can't get over that leaderhead...

Maybe in the future. Now I've got to make hussar better to finally finish polish mod. Then I'll think about it...
What leaders do You have on Your mind??

Demosthenes
King Agis III
Chorienes
Mazasces
Spithridates
King Porus

Do you know any of them :lol:? Its for the Alexander the Great Scenario (see the link in my signature). If and when you plan on doing any of these leaderheads gimme a shout and I'll send you some pics and what I think they should look like.

Heya, Piernik? I installed your Polish mod, but after reinstalling a patch, I lost the civilopedia entry. Since your file is an EXE file, I don't have a copy of the original entry, and I don't feel like downloading another 20 MB file just to get a Civilopedia entry... Do you think you could please repost it here?

I'd send You but I' haven't orginal entry too, because this from the mod works perfectly without polish civ too. Anyone else could send You orginal entry. BTW there is information in a instalation window that You should backup some files:)

Exsanguination: I've looked at Your site, and I do like the idea...
Send me some learedheads, cause I don't have any idea who they are.
But I have to finish polish UU first. Give me 2 weeks and I'll start to do some Your leaderheads... You need only one era? or all of them?

Not surprised :lol:. I'll send you the files tonight.

The scenario has a planned release of after PTW, so we got LOTS of time. :)

Thanks for your help!

--Ex

Is this leaderhead animated????

Yes... It moves, smiles and even blinks;)

Can I ask what's this leaderhead name? :)

He is Casimir the Great - He was polish King:)

Thanks...I think I am going to add Poland in my game :D

And you'll be right;)

Awesome job with this Polish mod! I love it!!

Next patch, please consider adding Malbork ;)

Can't this be installed in sections? With my slow connection, the whole thing will take 4 hours to download, but tried it just now and your site went down, so I lost everything.

Damn 56k.....I feel like beating the living hell out of my computer. 1.5 Ghz 80GB hard drive but only 56k connection...what bull....

I'm just ranting but my parents refuse to pay for any faster connections, saying what I have is enough for their 20K wallpaper downloads on their computer......I hate being 17.

well, this is the seventh time i,ve tried to d/l the polish mod and ever time i seem to get "timed out." and being as i,m on a lan connection, i think that the problem is with the server you use.

is there any other way to get this mod? maybe up it to cfc server in small file sizes.

Very Nice work man! Great leader head grafix

Okay, I've downloaded the installer twice now from the CivilizationIII Guild website and each time I start the installer I get an error message saying that the file contains invalid data. Does anyone know of another way of getting hood of this civ?

I'll talk to web-man. i'll try to fix the problem

You might also want to mention that the download speed is usually around the 1.5-1.7 kb/s mark, making the download time around 6 hours (!)

Before I go to download again, any update on that problem I mentioned above?

ok - the file will be split to two, but tomorrow... And the speed is 0.5 Mb so it shoudn't be so slow, don't know why it is:(
Does anyone have the same prolbems??

Piernik, you guys could consider turning the downloadable file into a zip or even perhaps dividing it into parts (if possible). I was downloading it from Warsaw, so it wasn't a big distance (still I used that Neostrada s**t, so it could be it :p) and it was extremely slow.

Still, great work. I'm still hoping for this industrial era Pilsudski-like uniform some day ;)

So what type of Civ are the Poles?

Maybe Militaristic and Religous?

Exactly:)

Piernik: you forgot to mention that the new, 'Lite' version is now available.

it is non-animated leaderhead's version and weights about 1875kB.

Oh !! I forgot to mention that there's a new light version of polish mod with non-animated leaderheads;) It's available on the same site.

Thx Mendax:D

Yup. The download speed is extremely slow. I'm getting 3kb/s :(
I hope you'll be able to sort this out since I really want to download the version, which has those animated leaderheads.

3kb isn't so slow:) Well i'm afarid that we wont have faster conneciton now... so You have to be patient

Piernik,

This is one incredible leader head. It fits seemlessly into the pantheon provided by Firaxis. You have simply got to do more of these things. Maybe a Napolean or Charlemaigne to replace Joan, or an Ivan to replace Catherine.

Are you the guy responsible for creating the husria unit that's been out for a few months? The one with the (historically accurate) lance. If so, it's a great unit, but it seems to be "different" from the other units - maybe a little smoother, and slimmer. I'm not sure if I can describe it, but I noticed that, up thread, you were talking about doing to more work on the UU. Are you going to rework this, or has your team done all it intends to. Either way is cool, but I just think that the leader head you put together really raised the bar for this civ, and the UU seems to be a small step behind.

Good stuff. Thanks!

Thanks for good words;)

I've made Hussar unit for this mod, but I don't know which one do you have on your mind. Mine needs more work, but when I started to change it I got some probles and I went to another project (Leaderheads for Alexsander the Great scenario - one is already finished (http://www.eqforge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36868).
So is it that one??

Yea, that's the one. I've been using it since you posted mention of it on the other hussar thread. Great unit, but not as seemless a fit as the leader head. Now that I think of it, it seems a little stiff in the saddle, IMHO. And the colors on the horse seem too smooth.

Of course, I don't know how hard those things are to make, so feel free to ignore me. It's still quite good the way it is.

thats cool!

Can I play the polish mode on German Version of PTW ??

Polish Greetings !

I have no idea:) I don't have German Version. Try it.

You guys need to get on a T-1 Line only took me 20 minutes to download.

Thanks for you teams work on this! The Polish Civ is great! :goodjob:

Is there a King unit available for Poland? Is there going to be?
If so, could you post it separately so I don't have to download the whole shebang again...

I haven't thought about King unit. I have much work right now so I suppose I wont be:(

he looks a bit pissed off... probably because poland was once one of the largest european nations untill russia beat it up along with austria,prussia, and sweden

Is this Play the World Compatible.?:D

Try it :smile:
mmmh seems that d/l is disabled

Well I'm afraid now you can't download mod, cause we're moving to other address. I'll notice, when it will be avaliable. PTW version should bo there too;)

Good job!

If you want my website can host it till yours is up again. BTW if you don't do that could you seen me your learderhead so I can complete the polish civ on my computer?

seen- you meen send??:) It's rather not possible - it has 25MB:) And I hope that within two weeks site will be released
Be patient;)

>Be patient;)

It'll be hard, but we have no choice ;)

25 megs, that would be like 1/4th of my space. Fine I'll been patient but I won't like it! :cry:

Piernik, your polish leaderheads are the best I ever saw in the internet for civilization 3!!! What 3D program did you use? I'm working on an european mod, so I need leaderheads for Austria, Hungary, Sweden, Finnland and Portugal. Perhaps you can give me some advices what programs I should use or how to make such good leaderheads. I would be very glad if you let me know.

we're proud to say, that Polish Mod for Civ3 is now available to download.
the address has changed:

http://www.civ.org.pl/downloads.php?Action=ViewDL&lang=Eng&type=Civ3&section=Mods&subcatid=0

Oh Yes - I forgot ;) Thanks Mendax;)

This looks great! But . . . I can't run the exe file (Macs can't run them). Can you please make this available as a simple zip file?

Well... i downloaded and installed the polish mod (the smaller version).
Now every time i try to start a new game or load a previous one i get an error message:

LOAD ERROR
ERROR READING FILE
Missing entry in "text\pediaicons.txt" : ICON_BLDG_Internet
Game will now exit

What should i do? :cry:

PS: Just got PTW a few days ago, so im a complete newbie :)

I think that there is some kind of version conflict. If you want to play mod from PtW it won't start - it's for civ3 only

WIll the mod be altered for PTW?

ok - we're working on it...:)

Excellent. I eagerly await it.

First off, I want to say great job. As everyone else mentioned, the leader heads are amazing, the huzzar unit is great, and I am greatly enjoying playing as the Poles.

But I have a couple of questions.

Why did you guys name the leader Casimir the Great instead of Kazimierz Wielki. Is it cause of the mostly English speaking fanbase, or some other reason?

Also, any plans for a multi-figured hussar, cause I've been thinking a lot about adding these units to my game, and since I'll probably be playing mostly as the Poles now, it would be nice to have the hussar as one too. (If not, would you mind if I asked around if others could do this?)

Hey Piernik, you around?

I'm here:)
Civ3 was only in english version - that's why he's Casimir.

Yes you can change hussar to MF units - but don't count on me;)

Any luck with the PTW version?

It's on civ.org.pl - PTW patch

Right on. Thanks man.

first of all i would like to thank you all for more than 16000 (yes, sixteen thousands) downloads of this mod in both static and full version.

now you can play as the Poles again. this time in C3C.
the patch, which can be retrieved here (http://www.civ.org.pl/downloads.php?lang=Eng&type=Civ3&section=Mods), contains a fully C3C v1.22 compatible BIQ file with an updated Civilopedia.


CHANGES:
-attributes are now Religious and Agricultural
-added 14 scientific leaders
-Poland replaces Bizantines*

these three changes were made as a results of votings that were made among polish-speaking users of civ.org.pl's forums.

* - there's a hard-coded limit of 31 civs in C3C and that's why we had to remove already existing one...


DOWNLOAD:
right here (http://www.civ.org.pl/downloads.php?lang=Eng&type=Civ3&section=Mods) you can download the patch as well as the main mod.


ADDITIONAL INFO:
here (http://www.civ.org.pl/civ3/poleng.php) you'll find a short description of the mod.


enjoy:D!

(CG)Mendax

This Is so cool! They should've had Poland in Civilization in the first place!
The Byzantines were a stupid Civ to have in the first place, They're just the half of Rome that survived the barbarians! It's like having the United States of America and the Confederates. Anyway, everything is so cool in this scenario and I have been waiting to play as Poland for a long time!

Your link to down load the Polish Mod is not working.

I down load both the main mod for Civ III and the patch for C3C and the Poles do not show up in either game. I followed the directions for both, and do not know what went wrong. Could you please help.

About time someone included the Polish I'm part Polish. No thanks to Sid Meier.

Your link to the mod asks for passwords.

I've already downloaded the Casimir leaderhead, I just need a UU, since Austria already took the hussar.
