Let me add my voice to the chorus of encouragement. This is definitely a pretty good first effort. If there is anything we can't seem to get enough of, on this board, it's era-specific, animated leaderheads. Right now, if my memory is correct, we've only got Lilli of Hawaii, Robert of Scotland, Casimir of Poland, an unpronouncable Ethiopian, and the Incan leader. I've put all of them to use.
We could use replacements for leaderheads most people hate (Joan, Catherine, and Cleo), as well as for the popular "missing" civs (Portugal, Mali/Songhai, Israel, onandon). I, personally, would love something good for the Atlantis Civ I've added to my Teturkhan map.
In short, there is such a need, your lamest effort will be downloaded by somebody. Keep it up!
