Douglas MacArthur, Single Era, with his trademark Crushed Hat and Corncob pipe....

I shouldn't have to post a Bio... but Big Mac was the Supreme Allied Commander of the Pacific in World War II, but, more importantly for What I need him for, head of United Nations Forces in Korea from the conflict's begining to April 1951, when he was fired by U.S. President, Harry S. Truman, for defying his orders.

Vlad III Tepes

Ruler of Walachia (1448, 1456–62, 1476).

or Vlad the Impaler He succeeded his father, Vlad II Dracul (“Dragon”). He gained the throne decisively in 1456 with the help of János Hunyadi. He fought the Turkish invasions of Walachia and built many fortifications to hold them back, including the fortress of Poenari with its stairway of 1,400 steps. He was imprisoned for 12 years in Hungary by Matthias I, from whom he had sought aid after being overthrown by the Ottomans. He was killed by an Ottoman-supported prince. Although an effective administrator and military leader, he was notorious for cruel depravities. In establishing his domination over the Walachian nobility, he apparently tortured to death 20,000 men, women, and children by impaling them upright on thin stakes. His epithet Dracula (“Son of the Dragon”) was used by Bram Stoker for the Romanian vampire-count in his famous novel.

Vlad III, Dracula, ruled Wallachia three times in 1448, 1456-1462, and 1476.
He gained the name Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) because his favourite method of punishing his enemies, impaling on a wooden stake. Vlad achieved renown beyond Wallachia's borders as a successful fighter against the Turks and a ruthless ruler. He is seen by Romanians as a national hero, credited by historians as a key figure in the evolution of the country's independence, in a leaque with the Devil by the Saxons, Turkish and Germans in the 15-16th century, cruel but just by the Russians. His tales and legends are still alive. He fired the imagination of Bram Stroker. He was outrageously bloodthirsty, but he was not a vampire .

ancient age: Not sure
medieval age: largely as in picture
Industrial age: similar to Gary Oldman's portrayal in "Bram Stoker's Dracula"
modern age: similar to Lestat, "goth"

Pfft...Not a vampire he says...Whats next Stalin not Russian? :lol:
 
Shiro: The Skaven, from What I've seen, are a race of Nezumibito, sort of like Freya Crescent and the Burmecians from Final Fantasy 9.

As for making Vlad in the modern eral look like Alucard, that would be totally kick-a$$!! I've seen several episodes of the Hellsing anime and that series rocks!! (Who knows, I might even be able to use Alucard somewhere).
 
SECONDED REQUESTS:
Whoa, boy... here goes a lot of seconding....

First off, I have to second the Mississippian leaderhead requested by RedAlert. Era specific, please, Shiro, if you decide to do this one. I don't know if RedAlert's pic is accurate or not, but I do know that the Mississipians/Cahokia are overlooked far to frequently. I mean, there's the ruins of this big, once highly populated, stone-age tech city right next to St. Louis and some people who live there don't even know it's there :hmm:

I also encourage/second the Saladin leaderhead. Could be nifty.

Though I don't have any real use for a Vlad Tepes leaderhead as such, the idea intrigues me immensely. Especially with him looking Alucard-like in the modern era. Funny thing is, Alucard DOES look a lot like the medieval picture provided, without the mustache.

Lastly, I UN-second/veto Pounder's request for a new Cleopatra LH :p :mischief:
No personal offense intended, Pounder, it's just that R8XFT's new Cleo looks AMAZING :eek:

MY REQUEST:
As a suggestion that I unfotunately probably won't be able to provide a picture for, I request a VINLAND leaderhead! (cue fanfare)
In essence, I'd like a leader for a fictional/alternate-history country that might have arisen if the Vikings had settled the northeast of North America and founded a new nation (Vinland), probably integrating with the local peoples. As a mix of Amerindian and European blood, facially the leader might resemble somewhat a Meztizo Mexican -- so you can look to that for some reference material. As for dress, think a cross between an Iroquois and a Viking LH. :D A Viking-ish helmet with some feathers might do nicely (no horns on the helmet though plz, not only does it generally look stupid it's completely historically inaccurate where the Vikings are concerned).
 
Just a little newsflash for you leaderhead creators who use Poser DAZ3D is giving away the Michael V3 & Victoria V3 models. All you need to do is register. :)

Holy Yardsale, Batman!!! (jumps into the batmobile and runs over to DAZ3D.com)

Thanks for the heads up :goodjob: There's a crap-ton of useable (for my scenarios) free stuff on Renderosity that I had to forgo downloading for the simple fact that the items were conformig clothes/figures that were for Vicky 3 or Mike 3.
 
Firefly- Yes I think the female leaders in civ3 were only choosen becaue they were females. To balance all the male leaders. Im not saying they arent worthy im just saying there were men who did more cleo--Rames II, Catherine(didnt she die by being crushed while having sex with a horse?? One of my teachers told me)--Stalin, Peter the Great, Joan(who never ruled france and should have been a hero not a leader)--Nepoleon, Elzibeth was a good choice to me. But when someone has the great in there name to me they are a better choice (Ramese, Peter) but thats just me, im not sexess so dont ask -_-...
 
-reserved for when i come up with an idea and also so i dont lose this thead!-
 
I'm pretty sure we already have a couple of Lenins (one of which is 3D, animated etc).

By the way, Catherine the Great wasn't crushed to death while shagging a horse. That's just a myth, I'm afraid.
 
Some very good ideas here, I got to thank you ShiroKobbure for this generous offer. I must second Vlad the Impaler, Ramses II, Frederick the Great of Prussia (or Germany) and Augustus in all era versions.

Austugus is the first true Roman emperor (and arguably the most influential). He revised the entire code of laws, standardized pay for the legions, built many temples and monuments, ect..

Ramses II should've been the Egyptian leaderhead from the start. Under his rule the Egyptian economy flourished, he wage a campaign against the Hittites, forcing them to sign a non aggression treaty because of his victory at Kadesh (the earliest battle capable of reconstruction) in 1282 b.c. He was a great builder as well, putting his name or face on hundreds of projects across Egypt, like the Temple of Ramses II. He is also the ruler at the time of the Exodus.

Frederick the Great was one of the greatest military strategist in history. He's responsible for invention the modern training system (Prussians trained Washington's army during the American Revolution). He instituted the cadence step so formations could move as one swiftly, something forgotten since Roman times. Line of battle could be formed in minutes, while his opponents tooks hours, thanks to the strict drill and phenomenal disipline, enabling his army to coordinate over large terrain and strike with precision. All this combined with the improved firearms and artillery of the day enabled Frederick to develop tactics such as his famous oblique order at the battle of Prague. His legacy is still idolized in Germany for fending off most the European powers and preserving the nation, his tactical genius forshadowed Napoleon by forty years and is still studied by armies today.
