new civilization: Poland

I think Lek Valenci would be a cool leader to have ... Pope John Paul II stood beside Lek Valenci against the Soviet Union... if someone knows more about this story can you please tell it! :)
 
CivArmy, I think the portrait is awesome. Two things I would change, though:

1. The eagles on his "cloak pins" are modern day eagles. It would be best if eagles from the time of Casimir were used. Here is an exact eagle of Casimir, unfortunately it's monochromatic:

Also, there seems to be some weird semi-transparency on the pins, so the shade of red is different over different types of fabric.

2. This is just a minor thing, but if possible, the crown could be a bit darker and/or metallic, as it looks a bit out of place with the rest of the model.

Edit: The one used for the crown of the Bulgarian leader seems to be perfect:

But in general, as I said, it's awesome. Many thanks. :D
 
Martinus, can you update screen in first post? As yet they are from the old version mod. CivArmy - what you will say on lightly blur background like for orginal leaders in Civ 4? Sorry for my English.

The coloured eagle (Banner of Kazimierz Wielki):

but Martinus version is better. This is only for spying of colours.

Perhaps crown as on this pictures:

And to the end, do not take to heart our complaining too much.

One more thing. CivArmy - why Casimir is 410x512 piksel, not 512x512? Will it not be look bad in game?

In this site http://forums.civ.org.pl/viewtopic.php?TopicID=4899&page=1 (post 41) is diplo musik for Casimir the Great (author: kodzi). In new version mod we include this.

Actily I produce every LH in 410x512, then I re-size it to 512x512 to appear in the correct form on game :)
 
Hey, thank you all so much for making poland. I have been lobbying historical gamers to make them for awhile. Its really appreciated. However, one criticism, and it could already be solved. Polish hussars(if thats what we're going with) were successful because of mobility, not armor or weaponry from my historical understanding. THe units were incredibly valuable cause they could fight in the russian camapaign and swiftly arrive at western campaigns without trouble, and unlike heavier units, were not limited when fighting pikemen(they could avoid and flank much better then heavy knights). Not sure if this is exactly accurate, but that is my understanding of the polish hussars during their peak.
 
morty_piper: your understanding is correct. The main advantage of the Polish hussars was indeed (apart from their weaponry) their mobility. The hussars were, for example, very effective at breaking formations of early musketeers.

On the other hand, we had to be careful with not giving the hussars too many bonuses, in order to not make them overpowered. However, if you have a suggestion for a balanced set of attributes, shoot.
 
This mod is amazing. Thanks for making the Polish civ. I just got one question... shouldn't the unique unit be called the Winged Hussar?
 
Well my issue is that the one lsited on the forums for the hussar is the same as the spanish UU except it also has a first strike. I'd rather not just remake old UU's with extra bonuses(this could have changed as i am downloading the file only now). However, perhaps give it only a +25% vs melee to regulate the first strike or, to make sense of its mobility, give it something similar to the mongols keshik, no penalty for moving through rough terrain. Also, you could give it the blitz ability to attack twice in a turn, pointing out its very obvious advantage.

+25% melee(or gunpowder since i recall it was excellent aginst those as well) and a blitz would put its two greatest strengths, while not overbalancing the unit(pikemen would still have a solid chance of nullifying its advantages). But thats my two cents. Personally, i'm just happy to have the unit and civ in the game :)
 
Heavy hussars were, as the name implies, heavy. There is nothing that would suggest these troops had an easy time moving through hills and forests.
 
this is the final version of Casimir III :D
BTW, sorry for late, my boss has discovered Bronze Working and adoped to slavery, for this reason I've had shortage of time to do other things as mod to Civ4, eat, sleep and breath :lol:

Hm. Perhaps background like this:
misc.php

I'm sorry, that I used your graphic, this is only for show you, what I meant writing "lightly blur background ". Maybe only a little less blur? What you think?
 
Martinus,

Could I please include your poland civilization in my medieval mod? I'll gladley give you credit for it.

Thanks,

Kushan
 
Kushan,

Personally, I don't have a slightest problem with that. The mod is now joint project (the exact credit details are given on the first page), so as long as you credit it fully, I don't think anyone will object. :)
 
first of all I'd like apologize for have posted few here lately, I continue with that problem of shortage of time and it looks like will get worst :sad:
well, I did this night the new leader to Poland, King John III Sabieski :) I need some suggestions for changes, maybe change his mounth, I'll do that ASAP ;)

OLD PREVIEW REMOVED

enjoy the 1st view!
 
CivArmy,
Nice work! but he looks funny for me :) A bit like Marlon Brando in Godfather :D
Main thing - moustaches, imo, should be longer he had them really long, look at this picture http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/pl/1/17/Jan_Sobieski.jpg
Second thing is that he was big and quite fat, maybe you should add him a gill ;) and third i think his face should be spread horizontally a bit.
'Clothes' and jewellery are great.
