i stole the ben gurion graphics from civgold. i didnt edit them, exactly as is. gotta wait for it to load to give you a screenshot. takes a couple of minutes.

 

[nzk13]

ok here it is

 

[Ekmek]

hmmm. ok. check out the DB there i already a good solomon out there.

Deleted, sorry that was rude.

Uh, Ekmek is way too nice, are you KIDDING ME?!?!?!

First of all, you didn't make that LH it is Ekmek's. Second of all, SERIOUSLY?

SOLOMON?

He's got a damn suit on and has the modern flag of Israel in the background, and that is clearly David Ben-Gurion.

Is this supposed to be a joke?

Moron.

I'm assuming you're in a bad mood? At any rate, no matter how rude that post is, The Capo is still correct: there's a perfectly good Solomon leader in the database, and having Ben Gurion to represent Solomon is pretty much on the lines of representing Narmer with Saladin.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Yeah it was a little rude, but you were totally right, Capo!
It wasn't really nice either to upload someone else's LH with a different name...
Especially without proper credit

I guess it is quite hard if anyone gets that much criticism with the first (?) upload he made. Still, this is a pretty unique case. I mean, that your king Salamon is pretty off target has already been made clear: your LH does not look at all like him nor does he at least fit to his era. I would have ignored your upload if you wouldn't have...
a) posted it in the file database as stand alone package
b) forget to credit Ekmek
Also, I can't see much individuality as all you have done is combining things that were already there. You haven't even requested these things. Finally, if this is meant to be a leaderhead, then you have posted it in the wrong section. This is for civilizations, not leaders. Sure, you've added a civ, but that doesn't seem to be the aim of this package. Not to mention that it has been done by someone else, too.

Again, sorry if you feel depressive now. Feel free to upload more stuff, but try to understand that modding is a little bit more then just merging existing things and reupload it. Now, you should really go to the file db and add Ekmeks name to the credits.

i said that i stole the ben gurion graphics from civ gold. my only changes were that i changed name to solomon, added english civilopedia and changed traits. that good nuff for ya? (and it is my first, the reason i posted in new civs was because i couldnt find a section in the forums for leaderheads so i figured civs was the closest thing)

No word about this in the first post nor in the filedb (although in the latter you have at least mentioned civ4gold although I guess they had nothing to do with the creation of this leaderhead). And there is still no credits for Ekmek. And there is still the question why you haven't choosen any other leaderhead that at least is from the same era as King Solomon.

BTW: The graphics modifications section is for new leaderheads, besides of for other new art.

*crawls in on hands and bloody knees, wearing tattered rags* Your Majesties, please forgive my sheer iniquity, what must I do to apppease my masters?

 

[Graceheart the Leopard]

Oh, stop groveling.

Also, you can at least use The Capo's King Solomon leaderhead. And give him credit for it.

 

[nzk13]

Fine, maybe I will.
