New leaderheads!!
I've got a new leaderhead in two eras, which look different enough to be for two tribes. I'll definately be using these in the mods. They come from a friend who made them a while ago and isn't interested in making any more though...
They are 3D and animated - here are the previews:
I'll do the necessary pcx's and those for any new ones Unexisted does. I think we can use them for the Sioux and Navajo maybe?

And his hair is different. Is it animated?
Yup, they're 3D fully animated. Although they were intended to be two eras of the same person, they do look different enough to be used as leaderheads for two different tribes.
Is your new Sioux leaderhead animated like the others?

Unexisted, I might be alright at the pcx's, but when it comes to changing an animation, I'm the pits. If the leaderhead moves it's head around, I can't get a consistent animation if I change it without it jerking. I think also that we've now accumilated a few leaderheads that are animated, it would be a shame to reduce them all to 3 frames for the sake of size of download. The Sioux leaderhead that you did, I've made a 121 size animation on animation shop pro by using the fade effect. On most leaderheads this results in poor quality animation, but on your leaderhead it looks absolutely fine - and is only 409k in size for each of the flcs. I'm working on the pcx's right now. I'll upload those when I've done 'em and then do the pcx's for the other leaderhead(s) I posted a preview for.
Later I'll be working on the tech tree - I've got 3 free days now where I can do some work on this mod
.
BTW, although the leaderhead you did is excellent, I might use the one that I posted with the head-dress on for the Sioux and this one for the Navajo. The other era of the one I posted could be Arawak?

The same person who gave me the other leaderheads also has given me this one, which is a generic ancient leaderhead, fully 3D animated without pcxs (which won't stop me making any 
)
It has the horse and campfire in the back which also move in the animation. Is it Native American enough or does it look too European to go in this mod?

The link below is for the pcx's to Unexisted's latest leaderhead, which he did for the Sioux, but I am currently using for the Navajo (hence file names). I've also included the flic files which I edited to be 121 frames using the fade utility in animation shop 3. The whole lot only comes to 735k as a zipped file.
Here's the all-important previews.....
Link disabled as these files are now included in the updated version available in post one

Great job on the .pcxs!
That leaderhead looks quite European, especially the horse. Who is it? Attila? Looks good though
Thanks for the thumbs up!!
The leaderhead is quite European isn't it; it could well be used as Attila. Probably not to be used in this mod after all, but maybe one in reserve for a future project.
Right then, we've got a few tribes now (I think) - there are four in the main game - ie Maya, Aztec, Inca and Iroquois; Unexisted's done four more leaderheads, there's those first two I posted, Sween's Atahualpa - there's 11 tribes already. Maybe two or three other leaderheads could be used, we'll see. I think there's enough leaderheads now to be going on with and that I should start focusing on tech trees/which units could be used.
The tech tree has been done - one that I think is at least ok for now. I've also done the pcxs' for my two leaderheads as well.
Tomorrow, I'll be sorting out the buildings and units.
For now, I'm off for a few beers

I think the minor tribes should not be included in the mod(except as Barbarian raiders and Goody Huts), only the ones that had a huge signifigance historically. By this I mean all the isolated sub-tribes of Navajo or Iroquios.
GREAT job on those leaderheads BTW both of you guys are really something.
Oh, and for flavor music, I suggest the New Age music CDs, by Cusco call Apurimac, theres three of them, but the second(Meso and South American music) and third(Native American style music) are the best in my opinion. I intend on playing them as background music instead of the normal Civ3 music. I actually already do when I'm playing as the Incans(my favorite C3C civ)
PS. Once again I shall ask, how do you add leaderheads to the game? Please Help. Please?

Check your PMs - I've sent you detailed instructions already.
I'll probably be close on finishing my work on the mod by this time tomorrow. Then I'll be looking for server space on this forum.......
More leaderheads can be added, but we have about a dozen tribes which is enough for me.....maybe other people can add more.

Thanks R8XFT. I have an idea for mod myself, might be fun to try modding at least.
That leaderhead you are using for the Navaho would better be used for the Sioux, Nez Perce, Shoshone, Blackfoot, or the Pomos.
The Navaho lived in the desert in New Mexico and Arziona... a peak with green wouldn't work at all.

Yes, maybe we add Sioux and Navajo. Then let the rest be unintelligent unplayable civs that are technologically impaired and bound to only have poor units. Brave (1.1.) and no workers, and....settlers? Sure,.
EDIT: Bloody hell Mobilize! I posted literally seconds after you.
We won't let the minors have leaderheads. Maybe a flag that says Barbaric Tribe.

... the hell... your sarcasm sucks.
The Sioux were probably the most backward of Native Americans.. and the Navaho weren't warlike whatsoever. The Iroquois, Creek, Shawnee, and Cherokee were the most intelligent of the Native Americans.
