By replacing the dynamic LH art with static images, you can reduce the memory usage a lot.

Download here
Unzip it in the DoC folder.
Works with all versions.

NOTE: I don't have images yet for Dharmasetu, Muhammad ibn Tughluq and Suryavarman yet. They have placeholder images. Please suggest replacement images.
 
I would suggest using historical portraits etc. I could imagine people playing with that mod instead of the usual LHs even without performance considerations.

^ I could already imagine having stone carvings, drawing etc as LH for Indonesia, Khmer, Kongo, Maya, Aztec, etc :mischief:
 
Maybe it doesn't always have to be contemporary. I would prefer baroque era or later paintings of historical figures from previous eras actually.
 
Is there a specific size the images need to be?

At least 512x512. Bigger images can be scaled down. And it doesn't need to be a square. I can cut edges of if needed.
 
who told you it would significantly increase performance? I asked edead about it and he told me it would not make much difference. (not knocking the idea, actually if it does increase performance I will make one for my mod as well)
 
I don't think it will improve performance in terms of game speed, but it can help people who experience crashes because of insufficient memory.
 
Is you go that route might I suggest looking at the LHs in Caveman 2 Cosmos?

Could you check which of the leaders in the list above have a LH in C2C?
 
First version is up.

Could you post some example pictures? I'd like to see what they look like.

I think it's easier if you download it. It's completely modular. And you can see them all.

(To revert, simply delete Static LH folder in the the module folder and the Static LH folder in the art folder.)
 
Is this for 1.12 or SVN?

Printscreen, maybe? I've downloaded it but I can't open DDS file

Just install it and watch them in the civilopedia. This way, you have access to all images and I don't need to make a printscreen of every LH.
