um..... isnt that a leaderhead?

And yes, even though i dont play civ anymore, or care much for LOTR, a modpack of this type has been greatly overlooked, only resulting in a few units, and a couple of scenarios. A group should try to get together and form a LOTR team, maybe even like the Star Wars: A New Mod team. I remember some LOTR scenarios for civ2 that were amazing and I'd like to see that done again for civ3.

Back with a boom sween.
Your really knocking these leaderheads out. I'm glad to see your standard of work is still high.

Keep it up.
:goodjob:

I don't like the eyes. Sauron would be more terrific without them.

Otherwise, good body

or just have it real DARK inside that helmet...

EDIT: Maybe I could do the Sauron helmet from the Movie though... maybe...

Perhaps if you made the eyes glow? That can be a VERY good evil effect, if done properly. Especially if you had them glow when he was angry!

The suggestion about darkening his face is good, now looks too much as an orc. Excellent though ;)

Great Work Sween.

One suggestion. Everything is amazing and all, but I still have to tell you this. I have a suggestion that the face under the helmet almost be completely black and then the eyes would be a devilish orange-red color. It would make his eyes look like they had the flame of battle, exactly what you would need for a militaristic leader.

Great job. But maybe you should make one that looks more like the Sauron depicted in the prologue of The Fellowship of the Ring.

Looks great!

An idea: what if the background would change with his moods. When he's happy with you, the sky would be blue and the mountains would look greenish. When furious the sky would be dark and lava would spill.

The transitions could be difficult though.

Sween: Where did you get the helmet model? It's spectacular.
