I have a question: is Ukraine going to be in that MOD too? Because, everything is ready- you can use the Ukraine civ somebody made (I can't remember who, but if you need the info, I can try and find it for you). There are two great leaders there you might want to take a look at: Sviatoslav I and Yaroslav the Wise (I've installed both and they're really cool, and maybe could use some minor adjustments). I can provide you with a better city list and Ukrainian unit sounds (you can download them from the sounds thread on this forum, as well as better Hebrew sounds I made too).

Thanks for the suggestions Igor, a few notes though:
1) I already used the Sviatoslav LH as Arpad in my Hungarian module so that's out.
2) Unfortunately I do not package my modules with custom sounds, so that the player can decide how many modules are in at a time in order to save on loading time and to (at least partially) minimize MAF errors. Plus some people only want certain civs in, rather than the Civ Golod situation where there are so many civs it becomes rare to get a regular one.
3) A better city list would be much appreciated, I used Civ Gold's city list (so far). I will probably release the first half of the Europe Pack (Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Switzerland, and the Ukraine) by the end of the week. I made Christian IV, Urho Kekkonen, Stefan Stambolov, Guilliame Henri Dufour, and I revampled C. Roland's Michael Collins (so he looks more Irish and less, well, possessed by demons) as new LHs for the civs.
4) While I won't be able to use your Ukrainian sounds, I WILL be able to use your Hebrew sounds in the next edition of my mod. So thanks a lot!
I'll try and have a colorful preview of Mindaugas in a couple of hours.

Hey Capo, how about the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral as a background for Stambolov? It is one of Sofia's symbols.

I already did that, and its funny because you used the EXACT picture I am going to use. The problem is when I tried to copy over the old BG it gave me a python error message. Which is weird becuase I've made plenty of LHs and done the exact same thing with no problem.
But yeah, that's the picture I'm using. Great minds think alike.

Hey, you said I had a great mind. Awesome!

Alright, I threw the closest textures I can find on him (so this is NOT going to be his final texure) just so you all can see what he'll look like (sort of). This is going to be Mindaugas of Lithuania. Which means I am currently working on the Lithuania part of my Europe Module Pack.
Any suggestions about the model or what I should do about the texturing? Be quick, because I plan on knocking him out tonight.

1. Who will be the leader for Ukraine in your MOD, Yaroslav (I think he's the best choice)?
2. Will Poland be in your MOD too?
3. Which city lists do you want? I can give you also a better city list for Russia (with TONS of new city names and a better order) and also a modern Israel city list (since the Israel I have in my game is a modern one with only Ben-Gurion as leader and modern city names). So, tell me what you want and I'll send you the city lists.
4. Could you post a pic of the new Mick Collins? Because I installed him too and he is a little creepy.

Poland is in the mod, and Ukraine's leader is Yiktor Yushchenko.
Yushchenko??? There is such a good Yaroslav leaderhead out there! Why Yushchenko? I just don't really like using current leaders. Civ is a more historical game, after all.

That's mostly due to the fact that there's an excellent Yushschenko LH.
Yeah, I agree. It is excellent.
Most of the textures look amazing. The only two that I would change are the crown and the plate armor, both of which I would try to find something a bit more nuanced and metallic in appearance (they're kind of flat right now).
Man, I've been working on my own mod and you keep making me want to rewrite the plan to include more amazing artwork! Now I need to see about including some version of this guy.
EDIT: Another thought, on the model, the crown is slightly too large for the head. I understand that it is sized to work with the helmet underneath, but perhaps both could be shrunk very slightly to fit better over the hood.

Was CFC down for a while? Or is my connection just messed up?
Anyway here is what my Collins looks like, it doesn't look exactly like him, or much at all like him honestly, but its better and he definitely looks more Irish than the original, its the one I am going to use in my mod.

Actually its that big so it fits with the "hood" around his head. I am going to edit the model a bit more, this is just the general idea. And I am going to change the texture a lot, I just grabbed a bunch of random textures from Civ Gold for now so you can see what it looks like with texturing.
I think that he looks pretty good. And I disagree he doesn't look at all like the real Collins, I think he does look like him.
By the way, you haven't answered my question: which city lists do you want? I have no problem sharing the lists I made.
The Capo
godless Heathen
You can give me whichever city lists you want, but could you post them in my thread in the Mod forum. (Its the thread called 'DIPLOMACY') I want this to be only for LHs that I am working on, and the only reason I brough up the modules was becuase I was making leaderheads for them. So if you could post the city lists there that would be awesome. And of course any other help you can give me would be appreciated. Besides that you'll get more info on what I am working on, because I tend to post a lot of preview images, and I take a lot of advice/suggestions there as well. The modules are being made for other people after all.
BTW, could you please post this Yaroslav LH you've been talking about?

I reskinned my Mindaugas model from earlier. I noticed that in the Brennus armor the shoulder plate and part of the scale-armor intersect, and without wanting to screw up the model (because I'd have to redo everything and it sucks) I was considering taking Brennus' cowel and having it come from the two knobs (?) on the shoulder plates, I am also going to tint the gold on the crown so it matches the gold on the plating. I think I'm going to darken the metal on the helmet so it matches the scaling on the armor, add some (purplish/bluish ala the clark LH for New Zealand) jewels around the crown and change the red thing to a light blue. What do you guys think?
I have another idea- maybe you prefer I send you the city lists in a PM?
Anyway, the Yaroslav Leaderhead (who is also supposed to be Aleksandr Nevskiy) is found here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=248211. If you have a problem downloading it tell me and we will find a solution, because I it have on my computer.
