Civilopedia:
PS: I took the civilopedia from a scenario that comes together with PTW.

Over the centuries the Yarlung Zangbo valley was the focus of ancient trade routes from India, China, and central Asia. Tibet emerged from an obscure history to flourish in the 7th cent. A.D. as an independent kingdom with its capital at Lhasa. Toward the end of the 12th century many Indian Buddhists, fleeing before the Muslim invasion, went to Tibet. In the 13th century Tibet fell under Mongol influence, which was to last until the 18th century. In 1270, Kublai Khan, emperor of China, was converted to Buddhism by the abbot of the Sakya lamasery. The abbot returned to Tibet to found the Sakya dynasty (1270–1340) and to become the first priest-king of Tibet. In 1720, the Ch'ing dynasty replaced Mongol rule in Tibet. China thereafter claimed suzerainty, often merely nominal.
During the 18th century, British authorities in India attempted to establish relations with Lhasa, but Tibet maintained its traditional seclusion. Meanwhile, Ladakh, long part of Tibet, was lost to the rulers of Kashmir, and Sikkim was seized by Britain. In 1906, Britain recognized China's suzerainty over Tibet. However, the Tibetans were able to expel the Chinese from Tibet and reassert their independence (1912). After the death (1933) of the 13th Dalai Lama, Tibet gradually drifted back into the Chinese orbit. By a Tibetan-Chinese agreement (May, 1951), Tibet became a “national autonomous region” of China under the traditional rule of the Dalai Lama, but under the actual control of a Chinese Communist Commission.
The Communist government introduced far-reaching land reforms and sharply curtailed the power of the monastic orders. Full-scale revolt broke out in March, 1959. The Chinese suppressed the rebellion, but the Dalai Lama managed to escape to India. The Chinese adopted brutal repressive measures, provoking charges from the Dalai Lama of genocide. Landholdings were seized, the lamaseries were virtually emptied, and thousands of monks were forced to find other work. In 1965 the Tibetan Autonomous Region was formally established. The Cultural Revolution, with its antireligious orientation, was disastrous for highly religious Tibet. Religious practices were banned and over 4,000 monasteries were destroyed. Though the ban was lifted in 1976 and some Buddhist temples have again been in operation since the early 1980s, Tibetans continue to complain of widespread discrimination by the Chinese. Several protests in Tibet in the late 1980s and early 1990s were violently suppressed by the Communist government and martial law was imposed in 1989. Demonstrations against Chinese rule have nevertheless continued. Moreover, in recent years other countries have increasingly raised the issue of human-rights violations in Tibet, and have pressured the Chinese government to moderate their stance in that region.

Shaolin Monk, the UU:
This unit was developed by CamJH

It replaces Swordsman, has one extra defensive point, one extra movement per turn and cost 10 shields more.

Cool - I've been waiting for this one!

Hey- it turned out great- far better than I'd have imagined .goodjob:

Wow! Awesome leaderhead...looks just like him!

No more "Coming to War" slogan?

Good leaderhead though. You and R8XFT are the most prolific leaderhead makers I've ever seen on these boards..

The old slogan was used since I have started use Poser to create, the last great creation that uses this slogan is ACM ("the entire continent is coming to war!"). For the creations between ACM and CivArmy Mod the slogan will be "increase the emotion". I tell u latter what is CivArmy Mod

The Dalai Lama. He is it! Thank you very much.

I remember when you first appeared on this board Civarmy with the Tupi and Brazil mods that didn't have leaderheads at all. You strove to actually make your home civ like Firaxis' ones, and look were you are today!

Simply amazing!

Civarmy mod?......

Since these old times I had your support SoG, thank you very much for helped me with suggestions and good ideas! I hope getting better more and more, maybe someday I can get a job in Firaxis Today I work to some magazines and newspaper, I just quit these jobs if Firaxis call me

CivArmy Mod starts just when I finish ACM and Brazilian Mod and finishing help others players with other Mods, but basicly is a mod where I join all these civis and the units that I want do... plus the wonders and theses other ars stuffs

Kind of like what R8XFT was planning before he decided to devote all his time to leaderhead creation...

Tjedge and I were eventually going to work on a Fantasy/Mythology Mod featuring civs like the Greeks, Mayans, Vikings, Chinese, Japanese, Bantu, as well as civs that may or may not have existed, such as the Amazons, Atlantis, Lumerians, Camelot, Dracula's Transilvania, or El-Dorado. You can join up with us if you want Civarmy, I think you'd be a great addition to the team!

new version of more one LH

A new version that's transformed a decent leaderhead into arguably the best one ever seen. With Civ Army's new, more realistic leaderheads and R8XFT's new techniques and better definition - not to mention Shibbo's high-speed production line and Jorde's excellent WW2 leaders - it looks like we're moving into a Golden Age of leaderhead production!

Oooo... Not bad!

The face is really awesome , but the animations are a bit too 'static' to my taste. The facial expressions are good, but the overall movement is not very good: the only thing moving in these animations is the head - no movement in the neck, shoulders or torso. It almost looks like the head is a piece of paper on top of the picture. But luckily the lack of movement is not overly annoying - it's barely notable.

Nevertheless, good job, Civarmy

I'm trying to do that, just moviment in the head as happens with Firaxis LH My old LH had more moviment, including shoulder and neck, I tried stop that.
BTW Aaglo, thanks for enjoying!!!

@P.S.Y.C.H.O., @Plotinus, thanks for enjoying too!!!

I particularly like the way that he never really looks angry. Disappointed, perhaps.
It's a nice touch.

It's my favourite leaderhead of your's so far !! I'm really quite envious of those backgrounds. I don't know if you'd consider "doing" a few backgrounds for use in leaderhead creation - I'd definately use them if you did a batch. I really honestly think they're great and it's one area of leaderhead creation where you beat me hands down IMHO.

Aaglo was mentioning about movement of the body. You know what I do? It's dead simple and seems to do the trick. (Before we go any further - I'm not assuming that you need any help from me, CivArmy s1994 - your leaderheads are great as they are, but there might be other aspiring creators reading .) Assume the middle frame - ie frame 61 is dead centre - I set the y rotate for the body at 0 for this. If my leaderhead is moving from left to right, I set the y rotate for the body in frame 1 at -5 and the y rotate for the body in frame 121 at +5. It's as simple as that! If I feel really daring, I might even go up to a range of -10 to +10 . However, that slight body movement makes it so that it isn't just the head moving on a static body.

There you go - tip #243 for aspiring creators . Actually, the simple things sometimes work best !

Sorry for anwser this just now, but I was busy these days and always forget to came here to answer Cool tips for moviment R8FXT, thanks!!! But check the Firaxis LH, just the heads move, I'm trying to do the same. My old LHs had moviment in the body, I tried stop it to them look like more Firaxis LH
For the backgrounds, I'm doing the composition in Bryce and Poser, I like the result and I'm glad u like them too. BTW, if u want some background of some LH mine just ask And I saw the background of Annon Domi LHs, they r awesome, u did a awesome compostion (mainly in the Cleopatra ones)

your improving the first one looked a little Babyish but this one is great! A great improvment over a good leaderhead

Hey, I'm a Tibetan and I think its great your making a Tibetan Civ in Civ4 I just have a few comments though that i hope will help.

Your Shaolin Monk Unique Unit for the Tibet civilization makes no sense, Shaolin Monks are not Tibetan their Chinese.

I think a Tibetan monk as the UU replacing swordsmen won't make to much sense since Tibetan monks don't practice warfare. Instead I think you should make the Tibetan UU Khampa Warrior. The Khampa's are Tibetan from the Kham province in eastern Tibet bordering China. The people are the descendents of the Tibetan warriors who in the past invaded China. Their a nomadic people of Mongolian descent. Also during the Chinese invasion of Tibet many of the Tibetan resistance fighters were Khampas who fought the invading Chinese Army.

Ngawang Gyatso is also not what the Dalai Lama is most commonly reffered to as. His full name is "Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso" ("Holy Lord, Gentle Glory, Compassionate, Defender of the Faith, Ocean of Wisdom"). But generally people write only Tenzin Gyatso.

Also some of your Cities for the Tibetan civilization are actually Chinese and some Indian. Most are correct though

Hope this helps.

PS: is their any way you can make the Dalai Lama look older like his current age because I think thats probably the age most people will more easily recognize him as.
