The Capo's LH Gallery and Self-Help Thread!

[Ekmek]

i still think you should take shaka or zara's nose and swap them t o make him look less like ghandi but all the other stuff is real good.

As for fattening lincoln's suit. Why not just take fat churchill's suit. they are both pretty close in style.

 

[The Capo]

Alright, still having a little trouble with getting the suit to look right with what I wated underneath it, but it shouldn't take too much longer to fix. After that the order of the LHs should be (this contains some announcements); Arpad, Thomas Jefferson, Harun al-Rashid, Hittite Leader, Alaric, and then from there in no specific order Alp Arslan, Shah Abbas, and Lorenzo d'Medici.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Bah! And I thought I had cured myself of my addiction of adding awesome LHs to my mod and overcrowding the list of civs and leaders. Now I won't be able to resist the temptation again...

Hittite Leader

You still haven't decided which Hittite leader?

 

[The Capo]

Well, I don't want to step on Ekmek's toes by calling him Mursilis (even though I sort of did that with "Heraclitus"), and I don't really know how to spell Shupililiuma or whatever, and after that I don't know any worthy Hittites off the top of my head. Does it really matter what his name is though?

I think I can ge Cavour done within the next few days, so sometime Tuesday.

 

[cybrxkhan]

I just call Suppipipalulupiipilima "Suppi".

Muwatalli II is the Hittite leader who fought Ramesess the Great at the battle of Kadesh. At this time the Hittites were a very powerful empire.

Spoiler :

Muwatalli II (mNIR.GÁL) (also Muwatallis, or Muwatallish) was a king of the New kingdom of the Hittite empire (ca. 1295–1272 BC (short chronology)). The eldest surviving son of Mursili II, he is best known as the Hittite ruler who fought Ramesses II to a standstill at the Battle of Kadesh around 1274 BC. Aside from the battle with Egypt, he is best known for relocating the Hittite capital to Tarhuntassa[1] and appointing his brother Hattusili as governor in Hattusa.

A copy of a treaty has been recovered between him and Alaksandu, ruler of Wilusa (Troy), one of the Arzawa lands.

Egyptologists[citation needed] suspect that Muwattalli reached an informal peace treaty or understanding with Seti I over Kadesh to avoid a clash between the two superpowers over control of Syria. In it, Seti I effectively ceded Kadesh to the Hittite king in order to focus on domestic issues in Egypt.

Muwatalli had at least two children, both given Hurrian names in honor of the Hurrian storm god Teshup. One was Urhi-Teshup, who became king Mursili III until Hattusili III deposed him. Another was Ulmi-Teshup, who became the vassal ruler of Tarhuntassa.[2]

Muwatalli's namesake, Muwatalli I, was a pre-Empire king of the early 14th century, the predecessor of Tudhaliya I.

Muwatalli it is.

Nice list Capo!!
I really like to come back to surprises like this
Hope you will have time to finish all of them soon

Ohh just one thing: I remember you planned to make Babur for your Mughal module
Hope he is not totally off the list...

 

[The Capo]

No, not off the list. He is dependent on how Bakuel puts together his Indian unit set. If there are "medieval" units for Hindu India as well as Mughal India than Babur will probably be created faster than he would be otherwise. You have been helping with my mod, you know when I give a schedule it should be takn with a grain of salt.

 

[AbsintheRed]

you know when I give a schedule it should be takn with a grain of salt.

Yep, agreed on that
Anyway, I will be really glad if Bakuel and you will decide to make a wonderful Mughal civ for all of us

 

[Leoreth]

Good to see you back to LH modding!

I'm especially excited about Harun al-Rashid, Abbas and Lorenzo de'Medici

 

[Dumanios]

I'm also waiting for Harun al-Rashid.

Having used Charles V, Alexander, Cetshwayo, Hitler, Hiawatha and Yagan in my mod.

 

[The Capo]

Alright, well after days and days of messing around with different collars for this LH I finally got one the way I wanted it to look. It is difficult to tell from this image but I had to extend the size of the collar, split it at the bottom and then give the LH the effect of having an open jacket, while that sounds easy it wasn't. So here is what Benso Camillo is going to look prior to being skinned. I have also provided an image from an Italian wax museum...

I chose this image because this is generally the color-scheme he will get, with some slight modifications. Anyone who has made LHs will be able to recognize that at this stage in the process the LH is basically finished, all I have to do at this point is rig it, test it, troubleshoot it, test it again, and then release it. Sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. I am hoping to have him done very very soon.

EDIT: Now that I'm looking at it, I might have to mess around with the way the collar looks a bit more, just to make it look more like the one in the wax-museum figure's.

 

[AbsintheRed]

For me the collar already seems nice
Along with everything else

 

[Leoreth]

Again, really impressing. And you even make it sound easy when you try to make it sound hard

I agree that the collar is good already. But let's see how the final result turns out.

 

[smeagolheart]

Maybe he's learning some skills that he can use on other leaderheads, he knows what he's doing and how much effort he wants to put in to his leaderheads.

 

[AbsintheRed]

Yep, don't listen to vebear.
As I said I also think that the collar already looks nice, but finish everything you want to, and release the LH when you are perfectly statisfied with it

 

[The Capo]

Don't worry boys, I know what I am doing...

He'll look great.

 

[Crighton]

I think it looks awesome the way it is.
