R8XFT mod

[NateDawgNY]

still working on the Israeli one too, I hope....

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Ah the flame of desire, the fire in one's eye that says they want something....isn't it great R8XFT? Everyone wants you to make someone, and they get worried if its not talked about for awile, worried that its canceled or something. But alas R8XFT is only human, and therefore cannot forefill everyone's requests. But we should all be grateful for what R8XFT has done so far, and welcome and thank R8XFT for any new leaderhead he comes out with later, rather than say "Thats nice" to any of his leaderheads that come out before the one we want.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Thanks Sword_Of_Geddon

I am still doing David, but came across a couple of snags that I should be able to resolve. I thought I'd do something different and then come back to the ones in this thread....the "something different" will be ready to release tonight or tomorrow night.

 

[NateDawgNY]

Now don't go making me feel guilty here... afterall, I never made any actual requests.
On a side note, his leaderheads are superior and his efforts are greatly appreciated.

Please don't feel guilty...you've only given positive feedback and looked forward to the Israeli leaderhead .

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Rita Poon says that he too has been running into difficultys with his King David leaderhead. Something about hair not looking good in game?

A word of advice R8XFT: If its not perfect don't worry, your only human. I'd rather have a genuine Israeli leaderhead than have to launch Far Horizons with King Casimir of Poland anyhow. Besides, those previews earlier in this thread looked pretty darn good as is. I'm curious though: At what point did Moses morph into King David? I seem to recall a Moses leaderhead one moment, than a King David one the next.

 

[NateDawgNY]

Thanks R8XFT.
@Sword_Of_Geddon
IIRC it was Rita who intially started work on a Moses leaderhead. I may be wrong though, so don't quote me on that one.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

No, I'm pretty sure it was R8XFT, Rita started his by modeling it after a famaos actor if I remember correctly..

ya know... I was thinking- ya know what an interesting mod would be? take all the current civs, and replace them with thier less known "brothers" formt he same region-

exapmles-

Greeks= Trojans (since they are getting a leader head for saure, perhaps the minoans fo King Minos woudl e cool- I know I would enjoy them alot )
Romans= Etruscans
English= Wales (scotland and ireland already have thier own leaderheads made, at least i thinkt hey both do)
Germans= Prussians
Maya= Olmecs
Egypt= Lybia, and ancent Kush oth do not have leaderheads...

anyway, you get the picture- I think you all would agree, that woudl be an interesting mod....

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Check out Far Horizons for the Kush/Nubian Civ Xen.....

 

[Xen]

the only leaderhead approprieate for Kush (Kush and Nubia were two different nations, andeven regarded by anciewnt sorces as altogether different regions) would be Queen "Candake"

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thats not what the websites I've visited say.

Nubia historically is divided into periods, in each Period a different Nubian Culture/People existed. One period was the Kush-ite Period. Nubian Pharoahs of this period ruled both Nubia and Egypt before Assyria invaded, and the Nubians retreated back to Napata.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Strange that you're having a discussion about African leaderheads - I've just done a set of eight single-era ones and posted them in the graphic modpacks forum!

You can link to it from my signature (under "themed sets.")

"Kush" applies to a region just south of Nubia that Egypt and Rome never conqoured- it was also a seperate, if perhaps not distinct, nation away from nubia

Great Avatar R8XFT! Moshoeshoe. I'm going to have to make another mod using that one.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Quite something R8XFT, now those peope doing the native Africa mod have some actually good leaderheads to use, rather than those lame photographs.

Xen: Nubia was pretty big actually. It was not just south of Egypt, but also east as well. Part of Sudan was Nubia anotherwords.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I'm glad everyone likes the African leaderheads .

I've now got 3 eras of Attila sorted out, so that leaderhead should be available from tomorrow .

 

[Goldflash]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is who you have 'in progress':
Yavoub (Morroco) Atilla (The Hun. Duh) Hector (Troy) Moshoeshoe (Bautswahatsitsland) David (Israel) Nzinga (Matammba) and That one Asian Lady.
Right?

Yes that's right, except I'm not doing the Asian lady right now, and I've Malcolm II and Justinian to finish off. Moshoeshoe and Nzinga won't take that long to do, because I've done the pcxs (just need an era-specific foreign advisor pcx) and one era. The other eras should be reasonably easy. Hector shouldn't be too bad; David and Yacoub will be problematic, but ok.
I've decided to resize Justinian, as he's a little too small and Malcolm's hair is causing a few problems. I don't expect the problems to be insummountable.

Attila should be finished today .

 

[Goldflash]

Okay, R8XFT, I have a request.. .King Leopold I of Belgium

It doesn't have to be exactly like this.. this is pretty ugly...

The Animation used for the PCX should be the Industrial one. Since Belgium became the First Industrialized nation is Europe under his rule.
