This pack included the new American UU, the Minuteman, a new wonders, the Statue of Liberty and new diplomacy.txt to Bush (by Plotius). Dubya replaces Abe LH.

REMEMBER: it is a NON-POLITICAL thread
REMEMBER 2: I like the feedbacks for future changes, but take care with the use of words like "horrible", "bizarre" and didn't do bash the LH or me for any reason It is sad and immature, but already happened in this thread

Not sure I like the modern background, but everything else about this is fantastic.

Ahahaha! This is pretty good, I'll have major joygasms sacking D.C. in my next game!

This is going to make fighting the Americans a lot more fun.

Not bad, but I can't understand why he's wearing a giant teddy bear in the ancient era....

Other eras look good though.

I'm glad you made this LH, and since you did, might as well add these towns/cities to the American city list:

Tombstone: Where the OK Corral gunfight between the Clanton/McLowery gang and the Earp Brothers & Doc Holliday occurred, also where Boot Hill cemetary is located.

Dodge City: one of the most lawless towns in Kansass, and where Wild Bill Hicock was killed. It was also where Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp, Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday first made names for themselves by taking out all the criminals.

A Terrible leaderhead of a terrible leader. Towards the end of the development, Civ army refused to listen to the hordes of Civ Fanaticers which demanded that he improve the quailty of the hair, redo his un-bushlike face, and remove the ugly bear.

If u think it was terrible, u should do one yourself. Some resources in Poser r limited, like the hair and the textures to the bear prop. And if u think the makers of these props r too bad, u should produce your own props. Maybe the maker of these props r reading your comment right now, it is now polite call ugly a cretion to its creator and be not able to do a better job. And don't turn this thread political calling Dubya "terrible".

Blame me for the bear. I suggested to give Bush a more Native American for the Ancient era because, in my mod, the AMericans start out as Native Americans (a.k.a. the Delaware tribe) and later morph into english-influenced settlers in the late medieval era and then at the dawn of the industrial era they morph again, into what we now know to be the United States of America. Many people here may disagree with my approach, but to me, it only makes sense: To have the Americans as a "european style" civ in ancient times just doesn't gel with me. At least, with the way I did it, it moreso reflects the historical progress of one of the most successful democracies in history.

If you wanted to have a totally American leaderhead from start to finish, all you'd have to do is replace the first era with a pilgrim, think of civ's first era as a pilgrim at the time of the first Thanksgiving, hanging out with the natives so to speak...

I agree, don't make this thread a political thread. I think G.W. Bush looks good. GOOD JOB!

I think it looks good and recognizable. The sheriff especially is very cool , but the bearhead is a bot silly

I feel that I must stick up for CivArmy here. The leaderhead is, as Aaglo states, good and recognisable as Bush. Poser leaderheads will always look like - well, a Poser leaderhead - and purely resemble a leader. IMHO, CivArmy has done a really good job.

Please don't forget that creators on CFC aren't paid to get everything 100% accurate, it's simply a hobby where the output is shared with the rest of the community to use or not, dependant on each individual member. For every person that would prefer not to use this particular leaderhead, there'll be someone else thankful that CivArmy has taken the trouble to create and share it. In some ways, the main problem with doing Bush as a leaderhead is that he is always in the news, people see images of him almost every day in various settings and it's difficult to capture everyone's perception in one leaderhead. IMHO, had Bush been President in the 1990s and had been out of the spotlight for a few years, more people would appreciate the accuracy of CivArmy's work.

Whilst I appreciate that Goldflash is entitled to his opinion - which is often in praise of leaderheads that are created - I feel he was rather harsh on this occasion. We leaderhead makers post our leaderheads on the site to share our hobby with those that want to use them - not to open ourselves to unwarrented criticism.

I love the industrial age leaderhead

Looks pretty good CivArmy!

I see nothing wrong with Goldflash posting his opinion. We shouldn't all have the same copy/pasted response of "Good Job ". I don't agree with him though, except on account of the bear hat sucking. Other than that, I think its pretty good, and I really like the industrial age. It resembles GW, although its no splitting image of the president, but thats a pretty difficult task given that, unlike Ghenghis khan, queen elizibeth, or king david, we see bush's face nearly daily (well those of us living in the US and idunno, maybe elsewhere) and theres little room for artistic interpratation.
Oh yeah, I don't like how GF slipped "terrible president" in there. Why is it democrats always feel the need to slip their political views into every conversation they have? "I'd like to order the the veal alexia, that looks good, unlike that lousy Bush!!"

Bungus, saying someone's artwork is "terrible" is uncalled for. You yourself have suggested I scrap one of my leaderheads before and start again. It's those sort of comments that make people like me feel that I shouldn't bother sharing artwork with the community.

I don't recall calling Civ's head "terrible".. I believe those are goldflash's words... If you're attacking me for my stance on encouraging people to post what they think of someone's work instead of merely regurgitating some phony praise you saw on a poster on the wall of your high school guidance counselor’s office, well, I should hope men can handle criticism and an occasional dissenting opinion. There's no need to candy-coat anything for anyone outside of a mental ward or old folk's home.
I don't think anyone should stop making/sharing creations here. You shouldn't stop doing something you like cause one (or several dozen) don't appreciate it. Hell, even if that person(s) telling you your latest karaoke performance of "Cheeseburger in Paradise" sucks is right, everybody lays a turd every now and then. That doesn’t mean you should stop getting drunk and requesting bad Jimmy Buffett songs... or posting you latest civ work. That said, as I said before, I really don't agree with Goldflash at all (except of the bear head... just cause you have the prop, doesn't mean you have to use it. There's a "No Fear" hat sitting in my closet someone gave to me back from '94 that I haven't touched yet. (I haven't found an adequate waste disposal system yet to deal with the problem. Seriously, what a ****ty fad...)).
Btw, @R8FXT, I was being sarcastic... It'll make a lot more sense once I figure out how to post pictures.

I was referring to Goldflash's "terrible" remark; I'm aware that it wasn't you that said it. Also, having gone to grammar school in England, I never had a high school counsellor .
That said, my feelings are that there is a certain etiquette I'd expect on forums such as this. For me, it's ok to state that, for example, the bearskin is not what you'd associate with the ancient era, suggesting (as Sword_Of_Geddon did) that a Pilgrim outfit might be more suitable. However, you'd need to also accept that it's CivArmy's choice which prop to use at the end of the day. Stating that it's a "terrible leaderhead" is uncalled for and goes against the etiquette I'd expect from an established forum member. This is, incidentally, not meant to be a bash at Goldflash either, as it's only one comment he made - most of his comments have been positive ones.
The only reason why I said about not sharing creations is that I do requests for people (some of whom never post a comment) - it takes hours to do, I never use it myself, so the last thing I want would be unwarrented and unfair criticism. I'm a person after all, not a "leaderhead machine" .

That's great. Now get back to work on those Native American leaderheads I asked for...

Ok . However, as I posted in the D&D leaderheads thread, I'll be concentrating on Anno Domini for a couple of weeks, then coming back to finish off the other leaderheads .
