Native America Mod

Wow, was gonna start a Native leaderhead after I finish my current project, but now I see R8FXT pretty much has it covered. Good work, man. :goodjob:

Just curious, could you use Sween's Atahualpa to represent any North American tribe? Possibly some group from the Rockies. Or is his clothing just too Southern?
 
He made his quite Incan based. If we changed his cultural clothing. R8XFT would probably Jasc Paint Shop Pro them away and take new cltohs. We got most Native American leaderheads though. :)

It's over 100MB? Wow. I believe I may have a solution though (it involves uploadign it somewhere else, but you won't have to register to download it).

I've managed to fit in everything into a little under 100MB. If I do any more Native American leaderheads, I'll do them as an "expansion pack" for the mod. Thanks for the offer, but I'd sooner stay true to Civfanatics than have the mod based elsewhere.

Progress update - just five lots of bubblehead pcxs to do (about 2 hours work for me) - but haven't got time to do them now (just spent about 6 hours doing the rest of the artwork that needed doing). This will be done tomorrow evening, and will be immediately followed by the upload of the mod. Please bear in mind that I only have a 56k modem, so 100MB might take some time.....but should be ready early Saturday morning UK time.

Now that the mod is a lot different from when we started, and it would be nice for me to be able to set out the "front page" with full mod details and potential space to advertise any expansions, should I start a new thread?
 
Wow. But you uploading the entire thing right? :) I can't wait. :suicide:

This was a leaderhead that was waiting for a mod like this to come along I think!! I felt I must use the leaderhead, and he's ended up as leader of the Mapuche.
 
Actually we are useing Sween's Ataluapa, as the leader of another (Other than the Tupi's) south american tribe, the Maluague(Spelling?). R8XFT may have also added in the Toltecs without telling us(I like surprises), and used that leaderhead for them instead.

As R8XFT said before, Sween's excellilent leaderhead never really had a chance, as Conquests included its own Incan leader, it was a cause of "Give this leaderhead a home" so to speak.

Oh, and one last thing. This mod covers not just the Northern Tribes(Although it is mainly geared towards them), but also the Island tribes and the Meso and South American tribes(like the Tupi) and Empires(like the Azteks, Mayans or Incans)

It just goes to show you that the New World had just as much of a diversity of native cultures as the old.

Gogf: R8XFT couldn't add everything he had created into the mod, the current plan is to upload R8XFT's new version as the new "Download the Legend", and possbly include "Expanision" patches later(Which will add more Tribes, and possibly new units) One of my ideas was actually to have an optional music patch for the mod, that will be availible to download separately. I probably will do that eventually, but its a low priority at this point. But mark my words, you WILL be blown away by the songs I have in mind for the soundtrack. :eek:
 
Yes. We can have a Soundtrack Expansion. And a Graphic Expansion. And what about a conservative version? With just static leaderheads? :)
I plan on adding several maps to play on.
The Americas
Entire World (Barbarian Infested Europe :evil: )
Random Map (the one R8XFT had in mind ;) :p )
 
Do you want me to make an alternative download the music, and expansion as well as the mod (the file will be huge)? I can host it (I have unlimited space), and you can hotlink to it.
 
Hmm. R8XFT, maybe we can use Gogf's space instead of Thunderfall? :) In return, we advertise the Gogf CivForums. :)
 
I've nothing against Gogf and the forums he hosts and its tempting to have a host that can offer a higher upload than 100MB. However my personal feeling is that I would like to stick with Civfanatics for the following reasons:
1. For me, this forum is the true base of Civ on the net - I believe its the best forum there is and is visited by more people than anyone else. Like I said earlier, I personally would prefer to remain true to this forum and have the stuff available here first.
2. 100MB as a download is actually quite enough. People can then have a really good mod (honest!) that has 19 civs after all!!
If people then enjoy the mod, they can look forward to an expansion, which can include more civs, the new world map, new units, maybe even a new style of housing (we've used 4 culture groups, so we have another we could use). That might be available in a week or two as well. People can then choose to download the music separately if they so desire. Things like music can add a lot of MB to the download, and although I'm sure it will be superb, it might cause people to download a version they don't want.
For me, Gogf, it's a case of thanks very much and no offense meant, but the mod started here and I'd really like it to stay here.
But thanks anyway!

BTW, shall I start a new thread with the upload so that the front page can be set out as we need, with posts saved for the expansion etc?

The Tupi leaderhead is great,can you put an link to it,before the mod is totaly finish?

Wow, thanks!! I think it could also be used as an African leader as well. I've just got the bubbleheads to do on him. I might (but only might) do this one as era-specific and make it available as a separate download - just for you!

Wow Gogf. What an offer? How can we refuse?
Seems like a done deal. :)

It doesn't seem like a done deal to me :) . I was planning to upload my version to civfanatics....especially as I have a 56k modem, 100MB is quite enough at once....
 
Well. You haven't uploaded it yet... Have you? Or is it already commenced?
 
If you upload it at GCF, you don't need to advertise for me, I just think it would be easier for people if they can download it all at once. You can also link directly to the file, so the only people who know it's not here are the people who pay attention to this part of the thread.

Thank you,it is one of the best leaderheads for the Tupi that i ever saw and it would be great for scenarios about South America our the Bandeirantes Campaing.
 
Watch out folks - I'm uploading after I've posted this message!!

The bad news is that, with my 56k modem, it could take a few hours...............still, at least it's on its way.

The zip conforms to the forum rules of being under 100MG - but is 99.5MB, so I've packed in as much as I can!!

I hope you enjoy playing this, and it should be available in the "Download the legend" link when it's uploaded :) .

Unexisted/Sword of Geddon - should I start a new thread for the update or not?
 
No, this one looks important with 21 pages. :) (or 22?)
I can delete the updates. :)
