[BTS] Leaders of Varietas Delectat

avain · Apr 29, 2009, 01:55 AM

Leaders of Varietas Delectat
current version: v3.2 (for VD 9.1 or stand-alone)
date added: 2010.06.19

This modcomp adds several more leaders for the stock civilizations, and is intended as an add-on for Varietas Delectat mod (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showth...hp?t=237192%27) (although it's made in a modular fashion, so it's quite easy to change/remove/add other LHs, or use these LHs for other purposes)
All leaders are hand-picked, and optimized to hell (or at least 'till purgatory - believe me, it was some work...)
All this is done in hope that it's playable without MAFs.

>> LINK TO DOWNLOAD DATABASE <<

Includes options to install:
- Actual Quotes by Willowmound: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=234288
- Improved Graphics by Chuggi (only the LH changes): http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=293656
- Install as a stand-alone mod! (no need for VD, but the mod will still be named Varietas Delectat)

So without further ado, please take a look at the picture below for the added LHs:

Enjoy!

Thanks:

All the leaderhead makers on CFC!
Most notably: Ekmek, Amra, bernie, Refar, C. Roland, NikNaks, The Capo and really everyone else who contibuted to this amazing set of LHs! Thank you!

Excellent collection of some of the finest creations by the community!

avain · Apr 29, 2009, 10:02 AM

Thanks! I'm more than open to ideas, comments, criticism!

BTW, do you also have problems with filefront? I'm tempted to move my mods to AtomicGamer...

avain · Apr 30, 2009, 12:02 AM

Now filefront works for me, so you could try downloading now...

Edward The Big · Apr 30, 2009, 09:03 AM

Could I use this without VD? Is this playable on its own?

It would need some minor modifications.

edit: but I've decided that I'll do it for you. Keep an eye on this thread, I'll upload a new version with a stand-alone install option.

IgorS · May 01, 2009, 04:59 AM

I have a question: who made the Mobutu LH? It is the first time I see it here.

avain · May 01, 2009, 05:02 AM

updated to v1.1

now with option to install as a stand-alone mod!

What civ does Mobutu lead in VD? There isn't a Congolese Empire is there?

So it is from "The Nature Of Man". Got it, thanks. Too bad I can't find credits there... I guess the creator of the MOD made it himself using Ekmek's Idi Amin.

MadmanOfALeader · May 01, 2009, 11:57 AM

The Mobutu LH has some problems, though, particularly with the glasses.

The Capo · May 01, 2009, 02:11 PM

So anyway, which civs do Mobutu, Ho Chi Minh, and Idi Amin lead in this module? Did you add their respective civs or do they lead regular civs?

avain · May 01, 2009, 02:37 PM

This is only for stock civs, so they are not accurate, but anyway...
Mobutu and Idi Amin are leading the Zulu and Ho Chi Minh is Khmer.

avain · May 27, 2009, 02:19 AM

updated to v2.0

Should be a bit better with MAFs, but I still might have to remove some LHs
Please check it out and report back, thanks

Bataknese · Jun 02, 2009, 11:16 PM

gotta test this one...

feedback to be announced later...
