Leadersheads-why?

[REDY]

Why leadersheads makers making indian or presidents of Latin America , end no for example, F.Castro,Stalin,Hitler,Churchill,...

1) There's already a Castro leaderhead.

2) Because Germany, Russia, and England already have leaderheads and I think people are trying to make leaderheads for the epic game before they do it for scenarios.

3) There are actually some (albeit not the same quality) leaderheads of these three guys someplace.

I'm looking at doing Hitler myself at some point soon.

The choices I make are often motivated by what I feel is missing in the game. That's why I did so many African leaderheads, for example - I feel they were neglected by the creators. CivArmy does a lot of South American leaders - but, again, there weren't really any leaderheads for any modern SA countries available, so he was filling a gap he felt was necessary to fill.

Sometimes my choices are motivated by wanting to replace some leaderheads in the Conquests (eg 5th Century leaderheads to replace the Fall of Rome ones) or to do a mod/scenario. I'm more interested in Ancient/Medieval history than the Industrial/Modern eras, which is why I wouldn't normally do the leaderheads you feel are important - though that doesn't mean that I won't do them in the future.

I agree, missing civs first. Althought alternate leaderheads/leaderheads for scenarios are much needed, and there are probably at least two or three options for any of the civs. Until then, we should just be happy with what the leaderhead creators are doing now (of course what's not to be happy about, they are doing an awesome job)

4) Some of the leaderheads makers are Latin American, or just interested in American history

I hear you on that... I don't care much for the Industrial to Modern period so much. I mean, I enjoy playing that part of the game too since that's when I can really get the war machine rolling really fast, but I too want to see gaps filled. When it comes to the Industrial and Modern eras, and I'm sure the plane and boat connoisseurs here will disagree of course, everything starts to look the same... so it's not nearly as urgent to replace those units with flavor units.

But when you've got Zulu fighting with Musketmen in pantaloons and plumed hats... well, it just really doesn't make much sense. That's why I (in general) tend to focus on 1) non-Western units and 2) Ancient to Middle Ages era units.

 

[REDY]

Yeah, now I understand.
I only want see annoyed Hitler or Stalin

 

[bombshoo]

lol...I agree, We should have the ones for civs without them first, but Stalin, Hitler, and Churchill are requested so often, and at the rate leaderheads are being made now, I bet we will have them sooner or later.

There's another reason why modern leaders are rarely done - it's the fact that there's pictures of them about!! It's quite difficult to get leaderheads to look precisely like their photos; however, when doing a leader from Ancient/Medieval times, there's much more flexibility - ie, there's no photos, so no-one knows for sure what they really looked like, there's just a general idea of how they were.

I'll never live that down will I ?

In all fairness to Drift, his input improved Kekkonen a million per cent , although I felt like this at the time .
