New Leaders (art, personalities, diplomacy texts)

[The Capo]

Not sure what you mean by that. But I am assuming you are implying that you think your LH-list covers everything while also keeping the Viking civ in. From my perspective I prefer to have the Vikings in as a civilization and then add the others in as modules, but I do recognize why there is a request to have them split apart. I am still on the fence on this one. So I think we need to get this resolved. Right now I am tidying up some civilizations' graphics. I just did a little work on Ethiopia. I got India updated and I am about to work on England (which has always given me issues) and America. I wanted to get those Dutch ancient units into because they are after the Anglos.

EDIT: did we ever come to a conclusion as to which units I should use for England's ancient era? Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Normans?

I know this is off topic, but anyone else than me who thinks that thingy in Novators thread is starting to look a bit like how Den left?

Novator is Den/Triver in my opinion. One appeared as the other left, and the LH style and personality seem way too similar. I've downloaded everything he's posted because undoubtably he'll remove them all at some point for 'viruses', 'absolutely unretrievable memory stick' or whatever non-sensical reason he comes up with next. Guy's talented, but strange. I wouldn't rely on anything he's previewed recently ever being released.

 

[The Capo]

Yeah, unfortunately I really wanted to get my hands on that Tokugawa LH. And Novator is definitely Den/Triver, and I don't really understand why he acts that way to begin with. Very strange. Like what does he get out of it?

Having said that, he is a very good leaderhead maker, and has improved dramatically. So I do look up to him for that, but his pettiness is just unbearable.

I think so too.

mhm... glad he's back though

Let's hope it
I won't beleive it for 100% though, until he uploads all those LHs
Already showed us 9 finished LHs which he didn't release yet

Same as Capo, he also showed us at least 5-6 LHs
Arpad, Cavour, Harun al-Rashid, Lorenzo Medici, generic Hittite leader (probably named as Muwatalli II), Thomas Jefferson, Alp Arslan, Alaric, Shah Abbas
To be fair, all of those were/are still WIP, also the last few might have been plans only
Some of them seemed very close though, especially Arpad and Cavour

 

[Xyth]

Cavour was released: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=16707. Definitely hope to see many of those others finished eventually though, assuming they weren't lost.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Oh, my bad
My memory blanked out there I guess
Also, there was a new Harun released since Capo's previews, so maybe that's off the table too
Or do you plan to finish that too, maybe as another leader? The preview was quite promising

 

[AbsintheRed]

Some of the previews:
(not sure how far you got with these)

 

[The Capo]

I really want to finish Lorenzo, he is awesome as far as I am concerned. I think my idea for the Hittite leader is still better and more accurate than any I have seen before and am seeing currently. So I have every intention of finishing these leaders, there are just pressing matters that require more attention. As far as Harun al-Rashid goes; I am happy with Novator's (I do intend on reskinning him though), but I think I can probably alter mine to be somebody else. I'm hoping I still have them, not sure I do though.

 

[The Capo]

Still have Lorenzo. Here he is with a little texture, obviously there is much work to be done...

Sounds great, I really like all 3 designs!
Hopefully you will be able to realize all of them

PS: I also vaguely remember 2 earlier designs, for Cartimandua and Lalibela
Those were pretty awesome too, and looked almost ready
I'm not sure what happened with them, were those totally dumped?

 

[AbsintheRed]

Btw, about Arpad: If you still have those minor problems about shading and metallic effect, I'm sure SaibotLieh can help in them
Also, if you don't have enough time, you could join forces with him and release these 3 WIP LHs in a joint project

 

[The Capo]

I'm trying to wrap my head around this project right now. It's like trying to clean a gigantic pile of garbage, and not knowing where to start. So right now I am just trying to get myself organized, and maybe an SVN is a good way to start. And I would honestly love to make this "team" official and have you all be creators of the mod (i.e. it wouldn't just be Capo's mod anymore), I could sure use the help.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Not necessary, it's your mod. Capo's Diplomacy II
But we can still make small contributions as simple helpers and playtesters
Some of us got pretty deep into modding since you started Diplo II a couple years ago

SVN is not too hard to set up, I use Sourceforge
Some others use one under Assembla and there are some other similar ones as well
Here is a link to sourceforge, that's the one I know the best: http://sourceforge.net/

 

[The Capo]

I need a personality for Taharqa, you did have the new schema right?
