The only problem with Mod's now is that the leader's will look nothing like the in game ones. Thus $10 for a fully animated leader head that also talks would be great for some.

I prefer mods myself and can't wait for a Confederate mod.

How do you know that?

How do you know that?

Your telling me that modders have the ability to make for example a custom Robert E. Lee leader that is comparable to the same high quality graphics and sound of the current C5 leaders that is shown on the C5 website?

Doesn't have to be the same quality. I'm sure that many would pick a low-quality, but otherwise excellent mod-Robert than pay 10 bucks for a high quality one.

In fact, I'm sure that most would settle for just a simple picture vs paying 10 bucks.

The sound is easy to fix. Just get a relatively old man from northern Virginia

I will have to wait and see... I like the mod's and currently only use the BTS Confederate one every time I play.

I also use the Israeli and the Soviet one from time to time... all have been world class mods.

What does the Soviet mod add?

 

[Mustakrakish]

Are you out of your mind? 10 bucks-a-civ??? I'm sure as hell wouldn't buy Finland for 10 bucks and I don't think many sane Canadian would buy Canada civ for that price either...

But this guy, Hitler, is the perfect bad guy and makes both Stalin and Genghis Khan look like Girl Scouts.

You don't give Stalin and Genghis enough credit. They were all pretty evil guys.

They were bad... but from the perspective of history Hitler was the voldermort of evil dictators... heck you can't even speak his name in some parts of Europe. While Stalin killed more people in work camps then Hitler, this fact has been glossed over and only the educated know about this.

Also I have beaten Stalin and Genghis like 50 times each... I would really like to beat Hitler now

200 million humans died in the 20th century threw war or atroscity. and Atroscity is a word that means genocide.

True, if you do, things will spontaneously break and eventually the world will explode.

 

[Yared]

You can say Hitler, even in Germany. He's not Voldemort

Screaming HEIL HITLER in the middle of some mall though might not be the best idea.

 

[Vortilex]

That's true in Austria, too.

 

[nody]

Can you still name your kid Adolf in Germany and Austria?

 

[Mustakrakish]

Can you still name your kid Adolf in Germany and Austria?

I'm... speechless

 

[Yared]

Of course you can
