Nice, massive compilation Wyz_sub10.
I just wanted to say that I experimented with it, made a quick&dirty FPK trial, and managed to have loading times of 2-3 mins.

Really?? So using FPK for art reduced 5.0 loading to 2-3 minutes?
If you explain to me what to do, I can do that and re-load the file. It's at about 250 DLs, but I expect that to get to 10,000 over the coming weeks. If I can repack now, all the better!

I've quickly searched some threads for you, basically there's everything you need:

Using PakBuild to compress your Art folder: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=297865
You need to separate the art files from the others (e.g. xml)
If you need any more help, just ask.
PS: just measured the exact time, now it loaded in less than a minute on my rig (it's not high end)

yeh i forgot to add that i was wondering if you are still looking to do an LH update patch
i remember screwing with the fpk pakbuild program one time and found that there is an option to exclude certain file types from the compression. in that way you can cut out the xml stuff (there might be others you can cut too)

I missed the release 
Oh well. It looks as spectacular as I thought it would

Won't FPKing the art cause problems with modularity?
Madman: I've already redone some of them and swapped others out; I'll send you the changes I've made if'n ya want.

Depends on what you consider a problem
The art would stay in the FPKs (and using up HD space), even if it is not used by the xml, e.g. because you deleted a civ.
Other than that there is no issue.

I'm talking about borrowing them for other mods. Doesn't FPKing the art make them at least partially non-modular?
All I can say is that I will look at creating one. If it's something I can do quickly, then probably. If not, then probably not.
I made an excel file with the leaders and some info from the Civlopedia if anybody wants it. I don't guarantee it's all accurate. But if something's wrong you can easily change it. It seems I can only put the attachment link on one post here so this is a shortcut to that post to get it. Sorry if this is a backward way to post it. I'm new to posting here and am still trying to figure it all out. Enjoy!

Got a bit of a request. When you readd Taizong, there's another leader that might be nice to add. Ibn Saud. He's in a lot of the other civilization packs, as well as VD. It's nice having a modern Arabia leader.
I believe Ekmek made it.

Not bad. Now, all that's left if make a LH gallery of all the leaders in Civ Gold 5!
For those who downloaded my xcel spreadsheet...
I started typing this in during the 5.0 version. I just noticed that some of the leaders got their traits changed for 5.1/5.2. You'll probably want to change this info in the spreadsheet.
Looks like USs Bush was changed from Charismatic to Aggressive.
Iranian Mahmoud Ahmadinejad changed from Aggressive to Industrious.
Iraqi Saddam Hussein changed from Industrious to Organized.
Mayan Smoke Jaguar changed from Spiritual to Financial.
Also it showed only two leaders are duplicated between civilizations. After looking more I notice there are 3.
Jose de San Martin is a leader for both the Argentine and Bolivarian Empires.
Francis II is a leader for both the Holy Roman Empire and Austrian Empire.
Charles V is a leader for both the Holy Roman Empire and Spanish Empire.
Also if there's a c in front of the date it means circa or unclear. If there's an r in front of the date it means the listed years are the date of rule not when they lived. In the case where no concrete date is known for either, the same circa date is entered in both blanks.
Hope this clears some things up.

I had different traits for him but was responding to a community member who suggested changes.
His flavors and tendencies are different, in any case, so they won't play out the same.
