I’ve been thinking about and working on some alternate leader mods (Queen & Country Community Expansion Mod - coming soon - we’ll, as soon as I can figure out how to mod anything more complicated as than +1 vision for scouts).
Anyway. I’d really like to have animated leaders, but suspect that’s totally beyond my abilities to do one for each leader and or that actually looks like a specific leader. But I had a thought about what might work instead...
What if Civ had a kind of “default” leader animation? It would be some sort of animated “advisor” or “consul”, that could be a representative for alternate leaders.
eg
“Greetings from Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty apologises she cannot meet with you personally, but extends to your her warmest regards. (Also, get off her borders before she murders you, peasant.)”
Or maybe their speeches could be a little more generic, and then modders could expand via the on screen text.
eg
The consul says “Greetings Stranger!”, and the the modder could add in the text box “I represent the Great [x] [blah, blah]”.
I’m hoping that something like this might be achievable as a mod (maybe by taking an existing leader or two and just kit bashing the models). Or maybe it’s something Firaxis might help with...? (That’s probably wishful thinking...)
