@R8XFT: This looks really nice! Many many thanks!!

Where could I find the Buffalo or the Jaeger?

[Supa]

I've seen the Buffalo @ CDG

Hey, this is a great Kekkonen, thanks for making it R8XFT! Really like it.

Little Kekkonen info: If not only one, Kekkonen is one of the few elected presidents, who have been a member in a firing squad. During and after the end of the Finnish Civil War of 1918 Kekkonen, at the time 18 years old, led a firing squad, which executed mainly "red rebels", prisoners the White side took. Later, when he was the president, he held a speech in the radio, where he explained and apologized his part in the bloody aftermath of the Civil War. This of course because that way he could improve his already warm relationship to the Soviets and stay in power.

Is'nt Finland Democratic today Ukas? I understand that you would be afraid to be with the Soviet Union breathing down your neck, but the Soviets are gone.

[Goldflash]

The Jeager is the Russian Infantry from PTW.

Kekkonen kept Finland Finlandized in his time. No way he is a hero, more a ruthless tactic and opportunist. First an executioner shooting communists, then interrogator of the state police haunting communists and then prime minister&president kissing communist butt scaring people he was the only one the Soviets approved for the job. Anything positive achieved in his time were achievements of good citizens, not him.

I don't mean to undermine R8FXT's fine work, on the contrary I'm happy to use Kekkonen leaderhead, but I just like to point out these facts.

Who would be a herioc Finnish leader?

BTW: Finland is in Far Horizons(Its Drift's version of the Civ with R8XFT's leaderhead and the Jaeger and Brewster Buffalo as UU's). The mod will be done soon(Once I completely free it of any and all bugs...)

Marshal Mannerheim would be a good choise for heroic leader.

BTW when are you releasing your mod..?

Great leaderhead! Below are some suggestions for heroes:

Finnish military heroes:

C.G. Mannerheim
Adolf Ehrnrooth
Sven Tuuva (mythological)
Antero Rokka (mythological)

Finnish scientific leaders:

A.I. Wirtanen (nobelist)
Linus Torvalds (Linux)
Jorma Ollila (or someone else from Nokia)
Kari-Pekka Kyrö (athletic medicine... )

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Adolf: Now thats a name you don't here much anymore.

[Goldflash]

It has been a while since we've had any new R8XFT leaderheads, hasn't it....

[Anarki]

Yes... Woudn't it be great if he made hitler, Winston Churchill or Napoleon?

When you do nothing but Work on Civ all day, a week is a loooooooooong time.

But take your time. I'l ljust sit here and gnaw at my finger nails.

You know, I currently use six of your leader heads in my Euro-Africa Mod, and I'm waiting for Three more. And with all these flavor units.. man, this mod will be HUGE. Even bigger than GATTM.

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

May I make a suggestion? Heres an idea noone has ever considered: Making 5th era versions of the Civ3 leaders! I'm talking futuristic-sci-fi era version. An interesting idea, thought I'd share it since noone else seems to have thought of it. What is your opinion on that idea R8XFT?

A single-era sci-fi version, or having four different eras including sci-fi could be done. If you went for a fifth era, you'd have to be mindful of 2 things :
1. You can only use four eras in one game, but it's up to you what you call them.
2. The foreign advisor bubbleheads pcx is geared up for 4 eras only. You'd have to have an alternative XX_all pcx to sort that out.

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Yes, 5th era advisors could also be created(Two already were by Piernik If I remember correctly), My idea was having the Future Age instead of the Ancient Age(Use your imagination on how this would work).
