So... why not release your work as an update? Right now... come on, I want to play with the updates!

Now that is something I can actually relate to! I come from a line of truck drivers. My father was a trucker before he was injured in the line of duty. I remember being along to Norway and Sweden when I was a young lad. He drove steel pipes and stuff like that to picturesque villages amongst the Norwegian mountains.
My brother took up that profession as well. He transports goods to and from the European Continent. He drives to places like Italy, France and Spain and sometimes when he calls me, he can be sitting around washing his feet in the historical Mediterranean or resting his eyes on the Austrian Alps. And sometimes I get jealous, since I get to sit here and freeze in the Finnish snow, just because my own chosen line of work is more of a not-so-exciting character.
Great stuff that you will check it out, since you have done this merge before me. My playtest last night showed nothing strange. I am going to add a couple of leaderheads tonight, and hopefully publish the update tomorrow online. I have also added diplomacy music for most nations now.
Yeah I am amazed that no one has ever thought of that...there's a modpack we need; the ability to create your own leaders....create them similar to any character creator like The Sims 2 or 3 or Oblivion or Morrowind, create their personality and pick traits... have pregenerated leaders of course but being able to create your own would be a BIG step.My leaderheads come from the games Oblivion and Morrowind. They are my two favourite RPG genre games. I can create whatever character I want and just "photograph" him/her and then move it into Civ.
When I started out on the mod, I was looking about online for fantasy portraits to use, but there just weren't any to my taste, so I resorted to this strategy instead. Haha! It supplies me with Fantasy leaders OK and to my surprise I haven't seen the same strategy implemented in any mod before.
Yeah. A Construction Set for Civ. We have Construction Sets in Morrowind and Oblivion, making modding much easier and much more fun too. I was hoping for something like that in Civ 5, but it doesn't seem to be one planned. That's sad. Because modding Civilization is really hard work and I can only guess that a lot of people get turned off already in the beginning stages. It's a needlessly irritating learning process.
Modding leader faces is one of the parts that are the hardest. Luckily today we have loads and loads of modded leader faces, but when Civ 5 comes out there will be nothing and therefore I'm a tad scared of the impressive and massive 3D leaderheads they are bragging about. To me they represent only impossible modding. Maybe I can use Oblivion in the fiver again though.
Version 3 of Fairy Tale coming up. If I can only get it over to ModDB!
