Recently I played a game with the Germans and my beginarmy was distoyed by a cataphract of the Byzantium Army. This made me thing about something. Cataphracts are a precurcor to knights not a replacemant of knights. The East Roman empire even bought western amour of knights from the crusaders.
I think that the Caraphract should be a Horse Archer replacement and not a knight replacement. But it should have an attack of 8. This will make the Byzantine Empire a bit weaker, but that won't be a problem for the most of us.
PS:
Dale's airbomb missions: looking nice. Now you can bomb city imporvment, that's what WWII bombing was all about.

I noticed something about the AD 600 start.
Independent Civs can build old wonders. India getting the Great Wall, Parthenon, and the Oracle is weird. I'm sure someone else noticed though, but I thought I would post this anyway. Perhaps we can get the wonders pre-built in Greece and China?

Rhye, I've asked it a number of times before but I'm gonna ask again. Can you add Hirohito for Japan. I find it really anooying them sitting there in splendid isolation because of Tokugawa's personnality. A more open en more bend no conquest Japan in late game could give some extra punch to the game. Plus I don't like seeing old leaders in the modern time. A Franco for Spain would be nice too, so we can get ride of that fundamentalist Isabella.
I wrote a smal MOD addin Hirohito(Japan), Franco (Spain), Saddam Hussein (Babylon) and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Persia for the favourite religion to Islam), but I havent' had a lot of time to check the results.
And for some reason I can't upload to the Easy upload system.

it can only be a separate modcomp.
I fully support an optional mod that adds Hirohito, Franco and Hitler. Not Saddam or Ahmadinejad though.

why not Saddam and Ahmadinejad? Saddam considdered himself as the leader of the new Babylonian Empire, that's why I think he has a place in the game for Babylon. An for Ahmadinejad, Iran is the next fase for the Persian civ, I would like an Ajathola more, but there isn't a LH. It's just that I don't like the ancient leaderheads in modern times, I aslo would like a Nasser LH for Egypt.
But I will make a modcomp with Hirohito, Franco and Hitler (was planning to add him anyway, as most WWII leaders are in anyway, but I don't want any controverse, so I din't do it yet).
I have also been thinking of adding a Pope (Inocentius III) and Lorenzo de' Medici and maybe the Vittorio Emanuelle (there is a LH, but it does not look like the real one, somaybe not?) for Rome in the 600AD start only. As in this start the Roman Empire has fallen anyway, why not make it Italy all the way (maybe aslo in the dynamic names, but I can't find where you coded that part, I think it's in the dll and I can't work with that). The 3000BC start, Rome can stay the Roman empire anyway, so no leaderhead to add here. What do you think and can you think of some more leaders to add?
En what would be a good leader for Poland?

simply because
Babylon != Iraq
Persia != Iran
Rome != Italy
Babylon != Iraq
Persia != Iran
Rome != Italy
I agree with "Not Saddam or Ahmadinejad though"
Because Saddam did nothing positive for his country in the end. Terrible war with Iran which he didnt win. Then invaded Kuwait lost, then lost again in 2003.
So I see no reason for him to be in.
Similar with Ahmadinejad only been in power a few years has done nothing and its questionable whether he really is in power any how. Although there is a good figurehead for him.

You're terribly wrong about Saddam, before becoming a bloodthirsty maniac he was a good leader for Iraq. He gave more rights to women and made some financial reforms for example.

By that logic Alexander the Great never accomplished anything either. He died and his empired shattered into warring factions...Napoleon, Hitler, any leader who ruled through cult of personality had empires that collapsed after they were gone. Should they be excluded as civ leaders as well?
As for Saddam, I could go either way.

Indeed. Hegix nailed it. 
This isnt quite true though, as they have called themselves Iran and Iranian for a very long time and it is just Europe and the West who insisted on calling them Persia for so long.
EDIT:
How about Ismail I who founded the Safavid dynasty or Abbas I who rained during its golden age?
Its not the same as Alexander the Great as his empire did not shatter till he died. Presumably dieing was out of his control (although it may not have been).
Yes the same argument could be used for Napoleon, but at least he won a few wars before he started making mistakes.

I made the modcomp with the 3 leader (Hitler, Franco and Hirohito), but I can't upload it. Everytime I try, the easy upload system says i din't select a file, but I did. It's a rar file, but it's a bit more than 10 MB, maybe thats the problem. Should I try with 2 files, one for the art and 1 for the code files, or do I have an other problem, as I could allways upload rar files earlier.
On the other leaderheads: Rhye has spoken and I obey. Allthough I agree with the persia-thought. And I would like to see an Ayatholla, but there is no LH.
I was also thinking of adding the Bush leaderhead, but this will be so late game, and most of us will be playing USA by that time anyway, I don't realy see the point to do so.
A modern leader for Portugal, the Netherlands and Scandinavia would have been nice too, but I can't find any (that are worth adding, there is an Ellizabeth clone for Wilheminna, but I don't like it.)
There is also a king George I for Greece (late 1800's I think) that's looking nice and the Harald Hardrada for the Vikings (around 1000AD). What about them?
