4-leaders mod

Maybe Atomic Gamer or Filefront.

I wouldnt do italy. So many other mods already have it with 4 leaders. Plus it is just a modern country. Italy was in its prime during the age of rome and even the renaissance but modern italy really doesnt deserve to be a civ in my mind - since most people would consider WW2 as the biggest thing they have been in and they sucked you know what during it

If your going another european I would suggest Sweden, theyve honustly been a european power for around 1000 years (was really the most powerful in my mind for some parts of the 17th century).

 

[Civciv5]

While Italy was never unified in the Middle Ages,they were very influential and important. And the Mayas were never unified too.
I plan to add Sweden,but there is ONE obstacle,I'm missing one animated leaderhead,Queen Christina of Sweden.
So I can't add Sweden because I don't have an animated leaderhead of her...

 

[dacubz145]

Can't you just create her?

Also maya was never unified but there where not seperate countries. There are specific states within italy that completely rules themselves. Yes they were very influential and important and the basis of the renaisance but the italian civ is always about the time when it was unified
Also i really wouldnt add all of these civs. Most people cant download the mod as iss and you are undoubatly doubling the mod in size - now even I wont be able to donwload it with a pretty nice computer

The Mayas were seperate city-states that ruled themselves.

I could try,but I'm not a specialist at European leaderheads...

Also i really wouldnt add all of these civs. Most people cant download the mod as iss and you are undoubatly doubling the mod in size - now even I wont be able to donwload it with a pretty nice computer

I'm wondering why my mod is so large...
There are mods which are way bigger and add more content,but mine seems to exceptionally large...

 

[dacubz145]

I wouldnt say mods - id say just civ gold but DL size is way smaller then yours

My only guess is your leaderheads are bigger then civ gold, meaning the ones you created. Are they bigger then usual? Its definatly something your doing because most LHs uploaded are about 1mb DL size, yours is all above 9. Either your LH in gernearl are much bigger in file size or its the way youa re uploading

What do you use to uplaod?

 

[dacubz145]

It is definatly your specific LH. I downlaoded one of yours and one of saibotlieh and took one from civ gold. Civ golds LH size was 4.7 mb, Saibotlieh was 1.6mb and yours was 17mb. So it has to do with how you create your leaderheads which i have no expertese in

Also i am assuming you arent using winrar. I use it and when i downloaded your 7.87mb i then used winrar and it was 7.17. Not a huge difference but over 100 lh thats a difference of 60 mb

 

[Civciv5]

I found a mod that is larger in size:Cavemantocosmos...
It's 1.243.861 kB,while my 4-leaders-mod is 1.013.028 kB (if pakked) and 776.643 kB (while not pakked).Also there is one other mod that is on my computer that is also larger,Ad Infinitum...
So pakking it may not be the best idea...
Yes,my leaderheads are quite big,I will try to delete unused files in the folders if that helps...
Some other leaderheads that are not mine are also quite large...

 

[platyping]

You are comparing your mod that adds nothing but new civs and leaderheads to some of the real giantic mods like C2C that adds god knows how many techs, buildings, units, leaders etc.

The main problem is not whether you pak/zip your mod or not.
The real problem is like what dacubz mentioned.

If the beautiful works of Saibotleih, which definitely look better than yours are only less than 2MB, while yours is 10 times the size of his, this is a valid reason why some people rated yours badly.

How dare you?!
That is not a valid argument,I tested it and when I downloaded one of my leaderheads it takes a few seconds to download it!
Also,my leaderheads are mostly 5 times as big because I forget to delete some of the unused filesb,but I will try to delete unnecessary in the future...

 

[platyping]

Obviously you still cannot accept negative criticisms.

With a good internet connection, I can download 20 MB in few seconds as well.
But why will anyone use a leaderhead that is 17 MB, when better looking ones are less than 2 MB?

You may think, bleh what is the difference of 15 MB, my harddisk has XXX GB.
But when you add 100 leaderheads into a mod, that difference becomes 1.5 GB, yet what is the value added I get for this extra size?

 

[Civciv5]

Maybe because you can't use every leaderhead for every leader in history,that would be hilarious!
EDIT:I can't upload it on gamfront (it says "file is too big")

 

[Civciv5]

Atomicgamer:"Unable to retrieve file upload status"
So I think I will have to keep using Rapidshare...
Hmmm,it seems that somebody downrated my mod,not my problem,I don't care about ratings anyway...

I meant out of mods that just add civs/leaders

You guys are both right. You cant say how dare you because platy has a very correct point. The rating should be how much you like to play the mod, or for other things like LH how much you would put it in your mod. If it is worse work(not saying it is but if) and it is such a bigger file size then it shouldnt get a good rating. When talking about lh size we are talking about how big it is not how big the DL is. Obvoiusly the dl doesnt matter, it is how big it is in game.

But I do have to admit someone is definatly downrating your files - its not because of the files.

Also cant say its because of unnessasary files. Thats 15mb of unused files - a bit much

Why you pretend? Everyone knows you really care about rating and it get annoying. It is all over everything you right and that is the reason it get bad rating - because it bother you way more then it should and someone think it funny. I have only been here couple days and I am sick of it

I don't try to reason with people who can't post a comment that isn't rude,uncivilized or insulting.

The rating should be how much you like to play the mod

I agree 100% on this
And about the download issues,I will delete all unused files,maybe that will solve the problems.
And if it doesn't,it will at least decrease the download time

 

[canteat]

Platyping is right, you not take negative critisism good. You freak out to much over things no matter

I do not care about bad criticism,because I know my files are good and if some people don't think the same,then that's their opinion.
I am open to suggestions,requests and I try to solve any (proven) problems with my files.
I do not listen people's criticism if they don't post it in a civil way or if it's totally insulting.
But everybody is free to have their opinion,I respect that.
