Requesting Arab Leaders

[yenemus]

I would love to see more leaderheads for Civs that already exist in the game but have been neglected in the expansions, such as Spain and Japan but Arabia in particular.

I think it's pretty ridiculous that no new leaders have been added to Arabia in either of the expansions.

I understand that it's probably not a good idea to use Mohammad or any of the first four Caliphs as leaders seeing as Muslims ... well, are very passionate about not portaying these people. However, I think two great leader additions for Arabia would be...

Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz
Ummayad Caliph, Lived: c.682 - 720
Short Name: Umar II
Traits: Charismatic / Spiritual
Fav. Civic: Emancipation
(more info here)

Harun al-Rashid
Abbasid Caliph of Baghdad, Lived: 763 - 809
Short Name: Harun
Traits: Creative / Philosophical
Fav. Civic: Theocracy
(more info here)

Would anyone be willing to make these?

I think it was P90 who altered an earlier leaderhead into al-Rashid only a few weeks ago. It looks very accurate. You can probably find it near the top of the Graphics Mod sub-forum.

I believe that he's also planning to do an Abu Bakr.
