Asian Leaderhead Mega pack

[MaxArt]

Minamoto Yoritomo (1147-1199). Opened Kamamura shogunate (he was the first Shogun of Japan). For a scenario based on Gengis Khan's conquests.

[Tunch Khan]

Tunch Khan-that dot above the Gobi is the Heilongiang or the Jilin.

Both of them are geographically North-East of Manchuria. I was asking about the one above Gobi Desert on the Altai Mountains, just between Aral and Baikal Lakes. Those are historical homelands of the Turks.

I think he's using that to represent the Uighurs of Xinjiang Province. Some of his locations are a bit off (Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces border with Korea), but that's no big deal

Amesjustin- Im probably only going to do one head for Hawaii and it right now it looks like Kamehameha I
MaxArt-I belvie the Medievil era of Meiji could be used for Yoritomo

when I saw north regin of this map

I though I could use one of them to represent Northern Asia... ^ ^;;

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Those are borders defined during the Qing Dynasty period at the height of the Empire. That northeastern region was where the Manchus came from. Heilongjiang and Jilin aren't names of peoples, but regional names. You could represent those regions with the Manchurians, the Khitans (or the state of Liao), the Mohe (or the state of Bohai), the Xianbei (or the Northern Wei Dynasty), or the Jurchens (or the Jin Dynasty). There's a whole lot of possibilities there.

By the way, have you ever considered doing a new Shogun Tokugawa? I don't like the one Firaxis made.

 

[chflitwick]

what about an aborigenie leaderhead of Yagan.(I know R8XTF did an aboriginal leaderhead but his was modern and not realy a leader.)http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/29/Yagan.jpg/180px-Yagan.jpg theres a picture from after his head was cut off.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

ok. Should the civ just be called "Aborigenie" or should it be a specific tribe? Like "Navaho" instead of "Native Americans"

 

[ShiroKobbure]

hows this? An improvement?

 

[Antiochus VII]

The medieval looks MUCH better!

 

[chflitwick]

well Yangan was a member of the Noongar tribe, but he fought on behalf of all the aborigenies, so I would call it aborigenie. It sounds better than Yagan of the Noongars.

 

[TopGun]

hows this? An improvement?

500% better! Great job....

 

[Tunch Khan]

hows this? An improvement?

I haven't seen the previous version, but they look real good.

 

[Spacer One]

[Aion]

hows this? An improvement?

Yes!

I love his clothing in medieval. Did you change anything about the ancient era?

 

[chflitwick]

I thought you were doing Vijaya of Celyon, but its not on your hit list?

 

[RedAlert]

This pack seems very promising. I use Asoka for India, and the improvement looks excellent.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Aion- i changed the turban a little in ancient era.
Chflitwick- I couldnt find any information on Vijaya if you can find some, or if you have any info on a queen of Celyon sent it to me.

[chflitwick]

Actualy thats King Vijaya. The founder of Sri Lanka as he arives from india
