Your Leader Screens are very impressive. I am still working towards this quality of face-merging though.
Bhutan is starting to shape up quickly, art-wise. I've got an icon and model for the unique unit, Jigme's scene, and I found a Civ 4 model that could be ported and retouched into a perfect Dzong. All I really need is someone to tackle that model and others to do some lua, and Bhutan will be well on its way!
I actually just shot a PM at Ekmek a few minutes before your post asking if he was interested in taking it on, but since nothing guarantees he'd want to do it at this point (given that he hasn't even read the PM yet), here are the details: it would need a slight bit of retouching to the actual model, simply removing some cannons. However, it would also need a half-built/pillaged version, and probably a retexture to look more... Dzong-y. (White walls, red roofs, and maybe a gold trim as opposed to its current stone walls and blue roofs.) It's "Far Eastern" Fort #5 in this pack, or the 4th model in this image.
John Muir DoM said:The great state of California greets you, John Muir, founder of its values and creator of the ideals it tries so hard to uphold. Born to Scots whose brutal, dogmatic approach to the world chafed with your youthful spirit, you eventually fled a life of drudgery and Bible-black, and your love of nature was spurred on by lessons in botany beneath a grand black lotus tree. Your true epiphany came, however, when you were almost blinded by a machine in a wagon wheel factory; after six weeks of darkness, you saw a new way for America with the first rays of the sun. Armed with this idea of oneness with nature, you travelled the length and breadth of the United States, wandered the woods of Yosemite, and made a new way through the wildest, leafiest, and least trodden path you could find for Californians to follow; a way that strove to save their souls from total surrender to materialism.
John, California once more has need of a free spirit, a free man to fight for the growing things and fend off the rapacious appetites of so-called high society. Who will care for the beautiful valleys and forest if not your people? Who will guard the wild places of the world if not your nation? Can you teach your way again, when so many follow the path of greed and savagery? Can you build a Civilization that will stand the test of time?
I'll do what I can to help with California's pedias, but it'll be the weekend before I can get to them. If someone wants to take them in the meantime, feel free!
