Leaderhead Requests

[Wolfshanze]

You've mentioned Stalin: he killed a lot of people, he was crazy and paranoid, BUT he built the USSR (killing a lot of people in the process) and made it a superpower.

Ah, well if killing 30-million of your own countrymen is what you consider "deserving" (or do you just give him a pass on murdering millions so long as you reach that goal), then I guess I'm not going to consider your list of "deserving" men worth a hill of beans, thank you very much.

If killing millions, upon millions of your own people to create "the Great Soviet Union" is what it takes to be deserving... no thanks... personally, I think you seriously need to reconsider your qualifications of which LHs should be in the game and how you come to those conclusions.

And if you don't like Hitler because he left the German Empire to ruins when he lost, don't forget that Napoleon, who also nearly took over Europe, also left France in ruins when he lost.

you guys really want to fill a whole page of leader request thread with a fight over hitler (which has been done ad naseum)?

check out my blender guide...The Capo is making great progress on Gustav Adolphus. Hopefully it encourages some of you guys to try making some leaders too!

Who's talking about Hitler? I'm talking about STALIN!

I really would if I had some free time! Unfortunately, I haven't even had time to play Civ in months. I'm waiting for the holidays to give myself some much needed satisfaction.

I didn't say Stalin was deserving either. If it was up to me, Stalin wouldn't be in the game as well because of this controversy about his actions. I was actually surprised when Stalin was announced in "Warlords".
Still, I have one thing to say: who are the leaders in Civilization? National heroes! Stalin in Russia is a national hero as well as a national disgrace. Napoleon left France defeated, but was still welcomed as a hero when he came back to France. He is a French national icon. Hitler is not a hero and not an icon. The Germans are embarrassed because of him. The only people who see him as an icon and a hero are the neo-Nazi organizations, skinheads, the Ku-Klux-Klan. Stalin is different (like other leaders, Pinochet, for example)- he is hated and always described in documentaries as an evil and inadequate person, but he is still an icon because he actually managed to save the USSR during it's toughest time. I'm not against Hitler in the game, I just say it is an insult to the Germans to put him as the leader of the German civ along Friedrich and Bismarck (like in some MOD I saw).
I hope this topic is closed and we reached an understanding!

Lets go back to Gamal... A darker Smoke Jaguar or Akhenathen with de Gaulle's moustache. I understand this is the current proposal? Hard for me to picture this... I guess there is something about it. First lets see that somebody is actually doing him. I still have my two requests for Cetshwayo and Kamehameha I hope someone will do.

What???

Hmm... About Muhammad, maybe I'll make a generic Bedouin that from time to time (and in Civilopedia entry) states that he only represents Muhammad.

Greatest problem is religion; What if he adopts, lets say, Buddhism!?

 

[Couch Tomato]

The thing about Mohammed is that he shouldn't really be a Civ leader cuz he or any other religious leaders didn't really lead a civilization. If we'd have Mohammed, then why not Jesus, Abraham, the Buddha, or Confucius (and I guess Laozi too)?

So this is your big secret?

 

[Methyl Orange]

No. This is still a draft and I will probably work on it after I finish most of this secret.

Anyway, for this mod I's need more mython skill than I currently have and so I can't start it yet. (Pagans, converting natives...)

Religon civs sounds interessting .
-> Why not create one of his sons or some of the more important caliphs, who followed him?

The closest thing to this is Ekmek's Cobra Commander.

 

[Ekmek]

there is an astronaut unit out there who can be easily ported to be a leaderhead. I figure the bone only needs to be the torso since hey don't move much. the other option is to remove the helmet and have another leader's head there but the astronaut body.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

I'd like Nicolae Ceausescu of Romania.

I could really use a Pancho Villa LH for a Mexico Civ i'm doing. Thanks in advance, anyone.

I've seen it, but i'm thinking of an other usage for it.

ths would work?
I have not much experience in blender, and if i have some time (...next year, or so) i'll try it out.
