Native American Leaderheads

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Here are some Native American leaderheads I've been working on recently. The question is, do you want them in a mod (which I would do as a solo project) or do you want the leaderheads by themselves? If I did the mod, it might take me a couple of weeks to sort out, but the leaderheads on their own would be available fairly soon.

If it was a mod, it would be a pre-European contact mod with about 30 or so techs, some units downloaded from the forums, 16 tribes (I'm using the nine above, three of Unexisted's from the NA mod with brand new pcxs - I did the originals way back when - and the Inca, Maya, Aztecs and Iroquois from the epic game). It'll be a random map game, but I would think I'll be tempted to do advisors and popheads as well. RedAlert's cities will be used as well as Rhye's terrain. The main reason behind the mod is to have fun - and be laden with resources that another modder with more time to spend on a new Native America mod can use.

Great -- balls of fire! Wow !
Simply astounding, all of them, well done! (Of course, to choose a favourite, I would have to say the one in the bottom right corner)

As much as I would like these leaderheads now! , I would certainly like to see a mod with them in it. I can wait... for a bit

Any info on who all these leaders are / what civilization they are from, or will that come later?

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I'm sure that I'll be corrected and told that some of the leaderheads suit other tribes better than the ones I've chosen, but here goes:

Top row : Geronimo (Apache), Nanye-hi (Cherokee), Dull Knife (Cheyenne)
Middle row : Omalik (Inuit), Lean Elk (Nez Perce), Pocahontas (Powhatan)
Bottom row : Rain in the face (Sioux), Tahaso (Mohican), Ce Acatl Topiltzin (Toltecs)

 

[RedAlert]

Those look good - but - Mohican: That is the one with the desert background, right? I thought the Mohicans were from the northeastern U.S.
(In case anyone thinks otherwise, no, I'm not confusing them with Mohawks )

Anyway, the whole mod idea sounds great.

 

[Colonel Kraken]

Oh yeah, those are very nicely done, indeed.

 

[Kinboat]

Wow... That's a lot of work And all of them excellent.

I believe you're right about the Mohicans... Maybe try a different background for him.

 

[RedAlert]

I believe you're right about the Mohicans... Maybe try a different background for him.

...or, you could keep the background but change the tribe.

When the Toltec one is done we can use Sween's old Athaluapa as a Moche leader(though who is up in the air). One of those up there is already out(Pocahontas of the Powhatans I believe), Crazy Horse is Rain in the Face now? Doesn't really matter I suppose...

But wow...these are all really....really....really good..really good..

Combined with Civarmy's old works and Rita Poon's up in coming Pueblo leader, not to mention Sween's old work, we will have quite the New World Expierence...

Honestly, if I do another NA mod, I'm probably going to focus on a true scenerio/Conquest first. Maybe something like the American march to the west...I'll have to read up on it..

 

[Goldflash]

Rain in the Face is my favorite, but all are like beautiful.. .beautiful things...

 

[RedAlert]

I really like Sween's Atahualpa leadehead, but it seems to get replaced a lot. For me, it would work as a leader for the Chibchan (not quite a 'civilization', but more of a language group composed of many tribes in central america and northern south america)
.... that is, if I had enough room for the Chibchan

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Sween's head would do best as a Moche leader, because #1. It was and is orginally Athaluapa of the Incans, and #2. Because the Moche lived in overlapping areas to the Incans(But strangely, the Moche had a culture even more like the Mesoamericans than the Incans did...I wonder if the Moche were from the Tenocican?)

With these heads, I could create a decent version of the Mesoamerican Conquest that will make the Firaxis one look like a joke..hehe.........

 

[RedAlert]

Ooh - planning on an improved mesoamerican conquest, are you? That would rock.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

First I have to finish Battlefield Asia though...

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I'm having problems with that Mohican head anyway, so was thinking of changing the hair and making him Navajo. That should fit in with the background I believe.

@Sword_Of_Geddon - I've already re-done the MesoAmerican conquest with these heads, just to try them out . I'm just not sure it fully suits North American tribes (in terms of the advances), so spending some time looking at that at the moment.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, of coarse, mashing North American tribes all toghether is bad enough, but mashing them them in with Mesoamericans and South Americans is like mashing Europeans in with China and Japan....

 

[Hrafnkell]

Beautiful - and much needed!! I love Rain - a lot of character in that face.

 

[Bungus]

SCORE!!! Finaly, some Indian leaderheads!! The Hindus have been negleted for too long! These look great!!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Hindus? What the heck are you talking about? These are Native Americans, not Indians...

 

[Bungus]

Now with this many, I'd imagine that you're not making them Era Specific, or at least not all of them. Or... are you? (could use a full Sioux head. Actually, that hat does look a little advanced for ancient age...)

 

[JaseEmtP]

these look great...
