the Joan of Arc of Ireland.

needs more work with the facial features.

ganna need alot of help on this one as far as clothing and stuff. the hat in the preview is made from various clothes and won't work in the animation, so if anybody has one of those old fancy hats for women with the bow and crap then please let me know. i also need curlier hair.

:eek: No self-respecting Irish man would want St.Patrick as a leader. Its too lame. This is a good female leader for Ireland stick with this.
:goodjob:

I just got the micheal clothing pk 2 and am planning to make a Brain Boru leaderhead for Ireland. He'll probably look a bit like my avatar.
When I'll have it finished though, i don't know. I'm new at this.:confused: :)

Edit: All i got was cowboy boots and a cheesy tuxedo.:undecide:

Sween could you make this leader for Ireland.

The text in this link is in the tipical poetic Irish style, but there is a lot of truth in it. He was a proper king in Ireland and not just a political revolutionary of the modern conflicts.
His real name was Niall Nóigiallach.

Heres another link to more of the same.

(Just trying to get you interested:) )

Him or Boru.:king:

(You can't have a Scotch civ without the Irish.)

There's a hat and bow towards the bottom of this page (http://www.ggsposerjunction.com/poserjunction_downloads.html) . I don't have Poser so I don't know exactly what you're looking for.

I think she's cute:p better than any firaxis leaderhead. :rolleyes:
I'm not irish.....might be alittle scottish, :undecide: but I agree that she would be better than saint pattrick. :)

and one more thing......three's a bonnet on the link page, if you're going to use a hat I think that might look more irish maybe.
but I think she would look good without a hat.....simple is usually better. IMHO

Well, I altered Jimmyh's throwing axeman (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29544) a bit. This could be used as an Irish Kern to replace the Med. Inf. or maybe someone could make a Hobilar unit. I've only changed it so he follows through with the axe instead of throwing it. I'll finish the rest unless someone has a better idea.

Diffenitly finish it:goodjob:

It could be used as a Galloglass mercinary. They weren,t Irish, they were highland Viking/Scotch mix, but served as the major force in most of the ancient Irish armys.

I would really like to see this made. Is there anything more that I can help with? Did the link I posted help at all? I hope you haven't given up on this one. :(
