Quote from Thomsons Tower: "We're all Jock Tamson's Bairns". What the hell does that mean?
The history of Castle Sween
It's kind of ironic that Robert the Bruce kicked out the MacSween clan for supporting the English. I am ashamed of my namesake.

These leaderheads look GREAT! There isn't any way I could bribe you into making a leaderhead for Justinian or Constantine, is there??
And you MUST include Glenfinnan (on the shores of Loch Shiel) as one of your cities, for the love of Highlander!

Are you making the flics, are is you waiting for something?
I just downloaded Jasc, but the bastards sent the registration number to the billing email address instead of the person who is actually downloading (freaking idiots) so I have to wait for my father to get it tomorrow so he can email me it.
EDIT: Nevermind. You should be able to download Robert TONIGHT!

^_^ Great job so far, can't wait for the download! It's already the highest quality leader-head I've seen, and I can't wait to see it actually animated and in game! Ah well... Back to working in Liliuokalani for me. 
Thanks Veera. But you don't have to wait another minute... excluding download time...

Downloaded, and from what I previewed in Animation Shop, they look great so far ;-) Haven't tried them in game yet, too late at night, but I'll try them out this weekend.
On a side note, Poser is a *lot* of fun to use! :-D I made a crude Liliuokalani that actually looked like her... And deleted it cause of some stupid mistake
At this rate, it looks like I actually won't have to beg people to do it for me

great work Sween. Im downloading the leaderheads now!
Ive been real busy with my part time job at the moment so ill get back to work on the unit now.
I learnt this from my old English techer:- "We're all Jock Tamson's Bairns" simply means "we all come from the same ancestor so cant we all just get along as we're all the same!?"

Here's the Civilopedia bit. Hope it's not too long. Any comments or suggestions?! I'll start work on the entry for the Clansman when I have time.
Scots (Civilopedia):
--
The earliest evidence of Scottish civilization dates back to 3500 BC, in the Orkneys at Skara Brae, where a community of Stone Age farmers would make their homes for about a thousand years or more. Castle Rock, the site of Scotlands capital, Edinburgh, was itself first inhabited at about 1000 BC, in the midst of the Bronze Age, making it one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in northern Europe today. At that point, what is now known as Scotland (then called Caledonia by Rome) was inhabited by a Celtic tribe known as the Picts, so named by the Romans for their custom of applying war paint before going into battle. When the Romans under Agricola invaded in 80 AD, this is precisely what they did, uniting under a chieftain known as Calgacus. Though Calgacus was defeated, the Romans were never able to occupy Scotland, and by 122 AD, the Romans themselves flung up Hadrians Wall just to keep out these fearsome warriors. By the late 4th Century AD, the Picts had joined up with a bunch from Ireland known as the Scots, and they soon together launched invasions of Roman Britannia, and these were invasions that Hadrians Wall itself could not rebuff. After the Romans left in the late 300s, the Scots and the Picts settled down to do some inter-tribal warring. This conflict was finally brought to a close when the High King of Dal Riata (Argyll), Kenneth MacAlpin, finally united Scotland (and gave the land its name) in 843 AD. Kenneths descendents kept up his empire-building attitude, only to be defeated in battle by the English King Athelstan at Brunanburgh during one of many Scottish invasions.
In 1286 AD, Scotland again entered the worlds stage after the accidental death of King Alexander III. Leaving no heir, the Scots came together to choose a new High King, but they seem to have had quite a tough time doing so, so much so that they called in the King of England, Edward I (known lovingly as Longshanks, before he became Hammer of the Scots), to settle the issue. Edward chose for them John Balliol, after Balliol informed Longshanks that hed be forever in his service. Unfortunately for Scotland, Balliol had a short memory, allying with Edwards enemies, and generally making a mess for England. Enraged, Edward, after conquering Wales, invaded Scotland, booting out Balliol, carrying off the Sacred Stone of Scone, and declaring himself master of the kingdom. A few Scots were a bit peeved by the idea, William Wallace and Robert Bruce being the most famous. After Wallace was defeated and executed, Bruce took over, being crowned King at Scone. In 1314, Robert Bruce destroyed an English army under Edwards son at Bannockburn. Then, he truly unified Scotland as a whole. The next couple of centuries served as a period of unification and improvement of Scotland by its kings, despite some sticky points (such as the reigns of James I and the famous Mary, Queen of Scots). However, things changed in 1603 AD, when James VI of Scotland succeeded Elizabeth I of England, becoming James I of Great Britain, thus uniting England and Scotland. James moved his capital from Edinburgh to London, and started up the Stuart dynasty of kings, who were overthrown under Charles I in the English Civil Wars, in which Scotland played a very confused role indeed, changing from side to side on a periodic basis. After the Restoration of the Stuarts, and then their ultimately ousting by the Hannoverians, Scotland again played a major part in world history.
This happened in 1745, when the grandson of the last Stuart king, Charles Stuart (known better as Bonnie Prince Charlie), returned to Scotland in order to launch an invasion of England from the north and kick those Germans out forever. Despite initial successes, like at Prestonpans, the Jacobites, as Charlies followers were known, were forced to withdraw back into Scotland, mercilessly chased by the British army of the Duke of Cumberland, who finally caught up with them at Culloden in 1746. The slaughter there ended Scottish resistance for good, it seemed. Charles himself escaped to Skye Island, and then to France, never returning to Scotland. From that time on, Scotland played a major figure (though under British rule) in the Industrial Revolution, producing some of the great minds of the time: James Watt, James Maxwell, Alexander G. Bell, James Boswell (the biographer), the philosopher David Hume, and Adam Smith. It can be truly said that Scotland, through these men, shaped the Modern World. In 1997, Scotland finally got itself the freedom to convene its own parliament at Edinburgh.

I'll post it as a text file in Civilopedia format tonight (after I make sure it's short enough in the game)

BTW, I think the Scots civ characteristics should be Scientific & Militaristic/Industrious. The list of intellectual achievements that Scots are responsible for is almost endless and, in proportion to population, compares only with the Greeks.

Calgacus-- Thanks for the city list. It is better. As for the leader list, however, I don't like it as much as my own for several reasons. I'd stick with my own list, with the possible change of exchanging Balliol for MacAlpin. Bonnie Prince Charlie is better named as Charles Stuart. Thanks anyhow! Do you approve of my history?
History Guy, I tried out your civilopedia and it's far too long. You have to cut it down big time. It's has to be no more then 40 lines. Look at the original civilopedia entries to see how long a line can be. Good job btw!!!
