Create-a-leader
for LeadersEnhanced / Nuova Alba
for LeadersEnhanced / Nuova Alba
Following dot's advice, I've decided to create a thread about it. Ask your questions here. I'll announce the results in this thread too
What is this for?
The goal of this contest is to add new leaders you would have created into my modmod, Leaders Enhanced (which name is likely to change to Nuova Alba soon). I don't promise that every leader will make it to the mod (it's a contest after all) but I don't promise either that I'll choose only one of them...
What you'll have to do
- (required) Choose the civilization your leader will lead (refer below for more details);
- (required) Create a backstory -- the main point of the contest, the backstory!;
- (optional) Fitting with the lore I describe in the first posts of the thread (Fluff section);
- (required) Come up with a name, of course;
- (required) Choose two (or more) traits;
- (optional) Create a new trait, either totally unique for your leader or usable for any other;
- (recommended) Choose a fitting picture, not necessarily do it yourself at Civ4 standards, but the picture should at least be ~420px width per >=512px height -- if you don't, I'll reserve me the right to choose one myself;
- (optional) Create LeaderRelations;
- (recommended) Create her/him a unique personality:
- (recommended) a Favorite Civic;
- (optional) a Favorite Religion;
- (optional) an attitude towards the use of bad boni like Death mana;
- (optional) an attitude depending of the compassion of the civics used;
- (optional) an attitude depending on genders;
- (required) an alignment;
- (optional) a favorite tech;
- (optional) a favorite unitcombat;
- (recommended) a favorite wonder;
- (recommended) a hated civic;
- (recommended) a defeat quote;
- (required) religious weights;
- (optional) a unique diplo soundtrack;
- (optional) You can also create a leader XML entry if you want, including all the fields tweaked -- you can find help in the Modiki's XML reference guide;
- (optional) Write a Pedia entry;
- (optional) Write some diplo text;
Which civilization can you choose?
You have the possibility to choose to create a leader in the civilization you want. Complete freedom. Just remember that I'll favor leaders for civilizations with less leaders than others.
How will I choose which leader to add?
Remember that I'm not a professional, so keep in mind that I'll be partial if I want too. If one entry really pleases me, it'll go in nonetheless.
Also, I'm not saying that I'll only choose one of them.
I'll favor the entries that complete more optional fields, too.
I'm easily charmed by beautiful pictures...
A poll will take place, starting September 1st and ending September 7th. The winner of the poll will be added.
Nonetheless, I may add those I like...
Until when entries will be accepted?
Until the 30th of August.
How to submit an entry?
Just send me a PM with "[LeaderContest] {nameOfYourLeaderHere}" as subject.
When will the results be announced?
Most likely the 31th of August or the 1st of September
