Top Gun requests
name:Tsar Stevan Dušan
country: Serbia
In order to populate the Balkans in my mod, I would like to introduce the Serbs. Apparently invited by the Byzantines to settle and fortify the northwest border regions in the Balkans, they soon became an independent nation in their own right. Under Stevan Dušan (mid 14th century), the Serb Empire covered most of the Balkans and even claimed suzerainty over Byzantium. With his death, a rapid decline began which culminated in the defeat of the Serbs at the hands of the Ottoman turks only a few decades later. Occupied by the Ottomans but never losing their spirit, Serbia re-emerged as an independent nation in the 19th century and has dominated the Balkans ever since.

Another choice for the serbs would be prince Lazar, he was the one who fought the turks in the battle of Kossovo.
Btw the term 'balcans' today is used bery loosely in media, and by them it means the region of yugoslavia (serbia, montenegro, croatia, bosnia and sometimes also slovenia) but historically the balcans also contain bulgaria, greece, the european part of turkey and albania. Finally Romania and Moldavia ussually are also added to the region, at least in the regional co-operation organizations.

I second the request for Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi. Or the notorious Empress Wu.

If you intend on adding leaderheads for island nations, then you can also include Chief Qipuha and King Kamehameha. Chief Qipuha was the chief of the Chamorro peoples (the indigenous peoples of the Marianas Islands) of Guam. King Kamehameha unitied the Hawaiian islands. He was also a fairly big guy, literally (around 6'8" in height ).

I second the request for Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi. Or the notorious Empress Wu.

Empress Wu is "notorious" only for having the audacity to take power in a male-dominated world. Dowager Empress Cixi on the other hand was more of a roadblock than a real capable administrator.

bump keep the requests coming

 

[Cloner4000]

I vote for KingArthur's request (Hannibal Smith

 

[Cloner4000]

Haha, will I was watching history channel than it occured to me, there should be some leader that's not all political, maybe some leaderhad of some soldiers

So I also think that a leader head of Dick Winter, mostly known form Band of Brother Series, however it's also a REAL soldier, he actually fought in WWII so he's not fake



here's a link of some picture from yahoo basically a picture search cuz I have no idea of how to attach the pictures

[Antiochus VII]

I 'third' the request for Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi. Or the notorious Empress Wu.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

I second the request for the Maori LH, since we already have the Aboriginees, we might as well have the Maori as well so that we can have a good ol' fashioned Down Under scenario.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I believe Rita Poon was working on that, pity he never finished it. Oh well. Good request HT..

 

[emperorcharles1]

I would like to request a new French LH.

name:LouisXIV and Napoleon(Louis in the middle ages and napoleon in the industreal)
country:France
info:i shouldn't have to say
reason: what was civ3 smoking when they decided to put Joan d'Arch in for France,Louis and Napoleon are the greatest Frence leaders


You could base Louis off of the civ4 Louis, with the same type of clothes and the same background of versailles.

 

[Cloner4000]

I know what happen to STALIN, who cares about Catherina when we've got Uncle Joe , Stalin was way better haha

 

[emperorcharles1]

Ya, civ3 has some pretty bad leader choices

Shiro, with the female Chinese Empress, if u havent already thought of it, have Empress Wu in the middle ages and Empress Tzu Hsi in the industrial age and make the pcx for both eras.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

well I wanted to make a young chinese empress, most people wouldnt reconize tzu hsi as a young woman would they?

There were some TV drama series done on Empress Wu. These are some of the portrayals of her:

I'd say Wu Zetian is a much better candidate as leader of the Chinese. Some consider her ruthless and a usurper of the throne, but she was also a remarkable administrator. Many modern historians, particularly conservative \Chinese historians, still cast her in a negative light since she had the audacity to challenge a male-dominated world and "step out of the box". While she was highly suspicious of the nobility and the court (she had her own 'secret police' to keep the aristocrats in check ), she had an extremely efficient bureacracy. Empress Wu appointed the most capable of administrators and did listen to her critics from time to time. Of course, in her later years, she became a bit of a paranoid super dictator (even more than she was initially), but the Empire also prospered significantly under her reign.

I wouldn't trust Wikipedia on this one entirely since its article about Empress Wu is relatively one-sided.

But if you're going to make Dowager Empress Cixi, her imperial title was "Empress Xiaoqin Xian". Her full title is a lot longer (about 4 times as long ), but I'm not going to bother putting the whole thing down. "Cixi Tai-hou" is simply the title we commonly know her by.
