Do you need walrus graphics for Norway?

Do you need walrus graphics for Norway?

And for Iceland too. Yes, please. If you've got them in BTS.

 

[Deon]

No but I can make them. Should they be animated?

 

[jessiecat]

If possible. But they have to be BTS compatible, like the elephants.

 

[Deon]

Elephants are not BTS-compatible, ask anyone. It's BTS which is elephant-compatible.

Hey guys, what do you think about this Casimir LH? TBH, I prefer the old one...

Judging from the screenshot, except for the ugly background I like him, he's a bit more accurate.

As a lurker's opinion, he looks much better than what I'm used to seeing. I'd definitely add him.

I think he's a bit dull. But if it is more accurate, I say use that one. But with an other background.

 

[Cethegus]

A Warlords mod, Total Realism, has some good graphics you might want to borrow. Their wonder art and button for the Brandenburg Gate is pretty good, as is the graphics they use for Arsenal. Personally I'd prefer it a medieval dungeon, maybe for the Inquisition? The Papal States are going to have a UB, aren't they?

I don't know if they currently have a UB, however, they only have one city, so it makes little difference. The Pope is a special player not necessarily in direct competition with the other players.

 

[merijn_v1]

You can say the St. Peter Basilica is their "UB". I think they shouldn't have another UB.

 

[micbic]

I agree on that with merjin_v1, also the Pope is not playable, and thus a UB would be no useful.

Back to normal terms, after a hard in exam terms two-week-period (just before Christmas, damnit).
So, the debates are:

1) After the new Casimir LH (passed), we have also this new Jan Sobieski.
2) In case the 1070 spawn date for the Turks gets passed, we must be in search for an Alp Arslan LH. The candidates (tbh, I have a preference to 1)
Candidate 1
Candidate 2

Opinions plz, we have democracy over there!
And Merry Christmas!1!

1. ok
2. I prefer the 1st one too.

 

[micbic]

And to finish with the debates, we have the "battle of the Williams"
Candidate 1
Candidate 2
Candidate 3
Aaaaand:
Candidate 4
Well, okay, it is a Williams afterall.....

Own preference for 3, yours?

And we also have a Clovis available, though we will have time for him later.

 

[sedna17]

I think I prefer 2, though it is a little hard to tell with leaderheads -- sometimes you really need to see it in-game.

And we also have a Clovis available, though we will have time for him later.

I saw the Clovis I. I think it's a pretty cool leaderhead, but there must be a point at which we limit the number of leaders per Civ, mainly because of size considerations. France, of course, is around for a long time, so it sort of makes sense that they get more leaders. I think a limit of 3 would be good. Charlemagne and Louis XIV are obvious choices. I've read a lot more about the early middle ages recently, so I would naturally favor Clovis over Louis XVI, but that's just me...

 

[micbic]

Yes, sedna, this is the controversial point.
We are supposed not to use "overkill" LHs. Perhaps (basically almost surely) Clovis is an overkill LH. Not because he would be the 4th French LH, while the Dutch still have only one (while this size-considerating point is actually sensible), but because the LH turns/total turns ratio would be unfair:
Clovis: 67/500 (13.4%)
Charlemagne: 52/500 (10.4%)
Louis XIV: 281/500 (56.2%, which is more than half of the game)
Louis XVI: 100/500 (20%)

While, using eg Joan d'Arc, it would go:
Charlemagne: 119/500 (23.8%)
Joan d'Arc: 164/500 (32.8%)
Louis XIV: 117/500 (23.4%)
Louis XVI: 100/500 (20%)

Which is much more balanced, I think...

However, since TheCapo has stated that the LH could be used for any Dark Ages European Leader.....what about Sigismund of Burgundy? (well, okay, much younger than in this wiki pic XD)

 

[jessiecat]

I agree with you, micbic. In fact, why not drop Louis XVI altogether and just have three?

 

[merijn_v1]

At first:

Merry Christmas!

Back to business, I like the 2nd and 3rd one. But the 3rd one needs a different background. (Something like a castle IMO)

 

[Leoreth]

Have you found the files for your linked Joan of Arc somewhere, micbic? Because the download here at civfanatics doesn't work anymore, sadly.
