Civ4 Leaders Mod

Hi there,

I noticed that in the word doc it says that Meiji (Japan) is Philosophical/Industrious however the leader is actually coded to be Industrious/Organised.

I noticed this one right away because I was looking specifically for this combo (Philosophical/Industrious).

Think it's kinda weird how this combo has not been done yet. I mean better chance at getting leaders, faster wonder building and fast build of uni's sounds all good to me :)

Managed to get a shot at the combo by modding your mod though
 
artur for england is also mythological try Boudica

a spot of Bush bashing would be great fun.

Nero for rome think of all the cool diplomacy texts

king tut is a bad choice for egypt as he was a less than important ruler try akhenaten with the spirtitual creative or philosophical trait all fitting well.

how about cortez for spain i know he wasnt a leader but it would be fun to reverse history and have cortez begging for mercy and peace just b4 you rip his warm heart out wit your aztec warriors.

these are ones of the top of my head ill try and sit down and come up with a proper list but note i have no modding experiance and am pretty much computer illetirate so i cant help with the actual modding
 
Would like to see:

Augustus for Rome
Lenin for Russia
(I *think* I saw Philip II for Spain, but if not please add him)

Thanks and great mod! :)
 
Phillip II is in already. As is Lenin.

As for Augustus, that is not the same as Ceasar Augustus? Which is already in.

Nero - Interesting. I'll keep him in mind. Was thinking about Ivan the terrible for Russia's 2nd leader - same reason as Nero.

Re: George Bush and Tony Blair. I don't want to get political nor have this thread turn into a discussion about current politics, love them or hate them I don't want to include them.
 
Ideas.

If you have some or want to help - still have to figure out 1-2 leaders for:

Arabs, Aztecs, Chinese, Egypt, Greeks, Incas, Indias, Japan, Mali, Mongols, Persia

How I was approaching leader choices, I was *trying* to go for 1 ancient to pre-modern leader and the other modern or circa 1980s. For China the best ruler in ancient times was already picked by Firaxis (our buddy Qin ) will keep reading this chinese history book for more ideas... stay tuned. May look at the Han dynasty.
 
Japan. I've decided upon Hirohito. It is major good fortune his reign was so long. Since Firaxis went to choose a shogun, I thought I would too. I will choose Tokugawa Yoshimune. Noted by wikipedia as second of the greatest shoguns only compared to its founder Tokugawa Ieyasu.

will continue the history lessons :) will post more after more research
 
An obvious choice for Egypt would be Khufu with the industrious trait (he did build the great pyramid apparantly) Another option would be Menes who is widely regarded as the first Pharoah to unite upper and lower Egypt. Akhenaten who i mentioned earlier would be my choice as he is possibly the most interesting of all pharoahs and also possibly the father of tut and husband to the most beautiful of all women nefertiti. Akhenaten founded his own monotheistic religous cult and moved to a desert oasis called Amarna possibly the first ever monothiest. Egypt reached a pinnacle in art under his rule and was the only pharoah to ever have himself drawn in family situations. His statue housed at the louvre would make a ultra-cool leaderhead too.
 
Gamal Abdel Nasser was avery popular aristcratic leader within egypt in the last century. his foreign policy was questionable in that it put egypt in unwinnable wars but he was very popular in egypt and the arab world. Couldn't do much better if you wanted a modern leader for egypt but my own personal view is that Egypt was at its peak in ancient times and so therefore should have only ancient leaders but who am i to argue i cant mod for **** and your doing a kickarse job. *edit. oops sorry for my language
 
How about Gondaphares for persia maybe not the greatest king but a quite awesome name. feel free to pm me if you need any specific help bearing in mind i am nearly computer illeterate
 
Thanks for the ideas. Will definitely use them for Egypt and Persia.

I'm hitting a hard point when it comes to civis like Aztecs. They didn't make it into the modern era as a nation... So um, I was thinking since Monty was really Montezuma II. I may do Montezuma I as a leader. I'm trying not to play favorites but even wikipedia doesn't say much. And using a Mexican president would be wrong to them as a civ. soo...

Also up the same tree with mongols. lol. Will keep on it this week.
 
I cant remember who is already in off the top of my head for aztecs but you might consider Acamapichtli as he was the first Aztec leader. Itzcoaltl if you do your research you will find he was one of the most important aztec leaders founded the triple alliance and also known as the Obsidian serpent (great name) Ahuitzotl (water beast) fierce warrior sacrificied between 20 and 80 thousand people depending on sources.
 
Ogedei and Mongka khan were the immediate inheritors of the mongol kingdom after genghis and sit between Genghis and Kublai. Both expanded the Genghis kingdom to at least a small extent. I cant provide you with more than names as my knowledge of mongol history apart from a few names is limited you better check the spellings too.
 
I dont know if you have settled on another english leader but id like to put in my two pennies worth. I feel there is a good mix with churchill 1900's victoria 1800's and Lizzie 1600's so i feel we need an early leader to balance these now we should avoid myth and therefore artur and other pendragons should be discounted as historical facts are sadly lacking from this era (its not called the dark ages for nothing) So we have to go back further and therfore my choice would be Boudeica, who was a tribal leader who thought back huge numbers of roman legions in battles around London with superior chariot tactics which the romans couldn't handle because the chariot at that point was seen as obselite and the romans were not used to fighting against it. I apologise for my english spelling im trying my best. Can you post a list of your plans for the latest update ty for all your work im sorry i cant actually help with the modding and instead live through your modding skills
 
I haven't downloaded this yet, I can't at the moment.

But I can comment on Persia.

I noticed you have Xerxes, I must say, he was not a good leader.
First of: Despite being an incompetenat general, he led an attack against Greece, and as a result, lost territory in Asia Minor
2nd: At the end of his reign, he spent a lot of money on projects that didn't help the Empire, and left an empty tresuary. Of course, the Persian Economy recovered, but he put his sucesser, Artaxerxes, at a severe disadvantage, which brough the decline of Persia.

An idea would be, to include leaders from other Persian dynastys.

I have 2 leaders in mind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapor_I
Sapor the First: (240 ad-272)
He led sucessful campains against Rome, and came close to restoring the massive Empire of Darius and Cyrus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_I_of_Safavid
Abbas the Great: (1585 AD- 1628)
He was a leaer of Persia under the Sophi dynasty. Though it was an Islamic Empire at that time, Persia still retained some of its culture. With an army reformed by Sir Robert Shirley, he defeated the Ottamans and retook Baghdad
 
Thanks Wazward, again. Itzcoatl and Ahuitzol already in. However Acampichtli may be the one I need to add.

Ogedi already added, but Mongka would be fair game.

English rulers already decided on Margaret Thatcher and Henry V.

For Minoan, My predecessor put in Xerxes, which I also thought wasnt so bad. (Since Firaxis saw fit to use him in a previous Civ version)
However, I'll take your picks.

Good work, we're narrowing the field down. Once we get them all (I'm keeping track) will release a list. Then will need to assign attributes. UU is going to remain the same/unchanged. So basically this will add more faces and choices to the existing Civs (like the original leaders mod did)
 
Give me an idea about what leaders you require and i will turn my brain loose on the problem
