No new graphics ? Is this a joke ?

Until you contribute something, how 'bout you stfu? At least this person has taken the time to try and give something to the community.

I agree. Bashing people's work is lame, especially if you havn't done anything better. This is also a beta.

Thanks for the MOD.

It's also lame because the game hasn't even been out a week. Nobody is going to have new leaders made in this short of time.

I don't have the game yet, but it's nice to see mods coming already , and that it's possible to add civs to the already existing without cutting another.

It would be interesting to see what traits the leaders were given and what the Sipahi does - strength, abilities etc...

D/led in anticipation of the game Thank you.

I'm continually amazed at the utter ignorance of some people

Yeah, very cool. The Turks top my "Favorite Left-out-of-Civ4 Civilizations" list, so it's nice to know they're being worked on. Will test as soon as I get the game on friday.

Sipahi look a bit strong, though of course expensive. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Good job Tunch on getting the first playable country avaiable. By the way, wouldn't Ottoman Empire be a better name for the Turks, since that what was their name back in CIV3. But it your mod, so do whatever you want.

There was 14 leaderheads done for Civ4 by CivArmy. But in this mod there are no new leaderheads, no new units, no new graphics...

No there wasn't... you did not read his thread close enough. Nobody in the modding community really knows how to make leaderheads or units yet.

I was just going to say the same thing. Crash needs to go back and read that thread apparently.

No. Tunch is right, C3C was wrong... calling the Turkish civilisation 'Ottoman' would be like calling the English civ 'Tudor'. Ottoman is the dynasty, Turkish is the culture. And you wouldn't want your liberal democratic Turkish civ named after the imperial house.

Nice job! Will be even better once the graphics are added, but don't worry about it too much.

Will test right away.

Surely then one of the leader choices should be a Seljuk like Togrul or Malik Shah.

If someone can find good images of Suleyman and Mehmed II, I can make some 'placeholder' static Leaderhead files, until the real artists come along.

ive only had this game for 72 hours and mods are comming out already? wow, keep up the good work.

Well done.

I agree. I don't want a Chinese civilization named after a specific Chinese dynasty, I want it being called the Chinese.
