Conquests Basic Israel Mod

[Gogf]

Sounds like a pretty good idea (the modern wars), Jura. I don't want to put too much on my qeue yet, so I'll wait to decide if I want to make a scenario for it until I'm most of the way through The Exodus.

Here is the qeue (up to the end of Exodus):

-Begin Work on The Exodus (starts saturday, maybe some preliminary stuff today and tommorow, but not much.)
-Finish Basic 3.0 (will be released in late March)
-Work on Exodus more (once Basic 3.0 is done)
-Finish Exodus

Leaderheads, hmmm, well, theres got to be some hanging around these boards somewhere, if not, maybe Unexisted could help, he's great at making leaderheads.

Okay, if I can't find anything, I'll request one from Unexisted. How do you think Gilgamesh would look?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Gilgamesh would fit pretty well I'd say. If we can't find an orginal leaderlead, we should go with Gilgamesh he looks Israeli enough.

 

[Gogf]

Okay. If I can't find one, should I request one from Unexisted, or just go with Gilgamesh?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You could ask him if he has any leaderheads(or is willing to make one) resembling King Solomon. For now though, I think Gilgamesh fits well.

 

[Gogf]

Okay. So, Gilgamesh it is in 3.0.

Also, I'm going to remove the ignore all terrain penalties from the Merkavah 4, 1 extra HP on the best unit in the game is enough, and anything more is overpowering, IMO.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thats fine, we don't want a Super-Unit, just a good one right?

 

[Gogf]

Right.

 

[Gogf]

Okay, version 3.0 is going to be delayed until we get the Solomon leaderhead (which has been requested). If a significant amount of time (one and a half to two weeks) goes by where nobody says they will make it, I will use gilgamesh.

 

[Rita Poon]

Willing to do the leaderhead as soon as I'm finished with my current project. Currently rendering the Khmer leaderhead. Scheduled to complete on Thursday.

Meantime I can figure out clothing. Unfortunately I know almost NOTHING about Israeli culture. But I'm eager to learn! Definitely need your help with ideas for dress, physical appearance, background pictures...

 

[Gogf]

Thanks Rita Poon! Well, I'm not exactly sure about what the clothing would be, but I'll look for background images .

 

[Rita Poon]

There should be a ton of pictures providing inspiration for the ancient era. In the modern era, he can dress like a Western businessman. Have no idea how to dress him in the industrial era.

For the middle era, think I should dress him up like a Khazarian king? Would definitely make the leaderhead more usable. But it wouldn't really be very Israeli. OTOH, Abe Lincoln is dressed like a Brit because England & USA are so culturally similar.

 

[Gogf]

I don't know what he should look like for the middle ages. Maybe either a Khazar, an Ashkenazic Jew, or a Sephardic Jew. For industrial, maybe we should have him in a military uniform. You know, like with the background as a just founded Israel.

 

[Gogf]

Okay, I should have all (or at least most) of the background pictures this weekend.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

He should look like either a businessman in modern times, or an Orthodox Rabbi.

The strange thing about Israel is that historically, it has been founded three times! The first by Moses and the Jews during the exodus, the second when the Jews returned from their exile in Babylon, and the third following World War 2!

 

[Homie]

Wheren't they exiled when the Assyrians came, and the Persians, or does my memory deceive me?

 

[Gogf]

I think the Persians let them back in.

 

[Homie]

ok.

But what is happening with the mod? When will the polished version be out?

 

[Gogf]

Once Rita Poon completes the leaderhead.
