Anno Domini was a mod I created - ad infinitum it seemed - and now I'm considering creating it for Civ V. There's a link to the Civ III game in my signature; all the leaderheads were created by myself. If the modding goes well, I'll convert the website to a Civ V one.
First off, a little about myself...after a house sale fell through recently (I'm okay about don't worry!) the two weeks I'd booked off for it in very late November/early December still have to be taken, so I thought as I'd nothing else to do, why not have a "good go" at getting the mod off the ground. Additionally, I'm looking for a project I can show that I've done and created a website for to support my chances of moving into a project environment at work - and the company I work for consider Civ to be a viable project!
So, back to Anno Domini. It's essentially an ancient-era mod, where civs you never even thought of playing, such as the Iceni, rub shoulders with the bigger civs like Rome. Each civ had a unique gameplay in Civ III and various buildings and techs were either civ-specific or culture-specific (e.g. available to all Celtic civs). Civ V seems to be more amenable to this approach and I'm keen to try out my Anno Domini tech tree in a Civ V game.
As I am an experienced Civ III artist, I'll be able to bring this into Civ V. I've attached a picture of my Civ III Teuta changed to a Civ V style. I hope you like the styling for this, i.e. the positioning and sizing, as this is what I aim to do for all future leaderheads I create. I am aware that others - principly Ambrox62 - has brought some ancient civs into Civ V and they're great; it's just that (as part of the project) I would like to bring in leaderheads of my own. It's actually the part I enjoy the most.
Please feel free to pass comments as to what you consider to be the size and scope of the Anno Domini Civ V project; should it have an era range that takes it to around 400AD or should it carry on until the middle ages? Should civs such as the Iceni be in it or should it be only more well-known civs? What do you think of my Angelina Jolie style Teuta?
Hope you're looking forward to this coming out as much as I'm looking forward to modding it!
