First off, I played as your Dzunghar Civ, and I am impressed with your work. I didn't even know the Dzunghars existed until I saw that custom Civ here.
Secondly, I would like to ask if you had plans for a Punt or Tepanec civ.
Thirdly, I want to know: how good are you at this that you can make a new Civ EVERY WEEK? I don't even know if I could do it in a year...

@Cerenkov: Thanks for the suggestions. I already outlined Laos in my notes, but I might use your suggestions if it suits them better. Also thanks for suggesting the Hmong. Being Vietnamese, I've known a bit about them here and there, so I think they'll make a good addition on my to-do list.
No problem. I'll try to do it as soon as I have time.
Thanks for the compliments! I don't release a new Civ every week (although I can in theory), although I think I sort of used to when this first started. It's just the trademark name now. Anyhow, I don't have any plans for Punt since information on Punt is pretty scanty - not to mention its actual location is debated (I know, I've read up on Ancient Egypt and related stuff for quite a while now); Tepanec sounds more plausible, but there also isn't that much information.

Any news on the Tarascans? I've managed to pull some art from a Colonization mod... but I could still use a UU and UB

Theres Siam in so many other places, can't imagine he would repeat something 10 other people have done, most all of the UU and LH are always the same

Not sure where to post this,but...
Does anybody know what happened to cybrxkhan?
His last activity was in February 2012 and if he never returns that would be a great loss of talent...

Hi all,
I’m returning to CFC. Unfortunately, it’s not in the manner that I – or some of you – might wish.
Some of you might remember me. It’s been a while since I’ve been back on, and I don’t know if some of my old friends here are still back on, but if you guys are, hello again – and hello to any of the new modders and mod-lovers, as well – and sorry, so sorry, for not being on CFC for such a long time.
I’ll get straight to my point. This past year or so, I haven’t been doing anything much related to Civ4 modding – or Civ4 at all. Yes, unfortunately, I think it is time I officially retire from Civ4 modding. As other retired modders have said, when modding feels more like a chore rather than a hobby, there’s really no point of continuing it. Regrettably, this also means that I have a lot of unfinished material (such as WoL 0.70) that will never see the light of day, mostly because it’s in an unplayable state. I have to sincerely apologize to everyone who was patiently and eagerly looking forward to my work but never got anything after all my constant delays, postponing, and – now – ultimate retirement. If anybody wants to attempt continuing my old work, or wants to use some of my old work (or some of the unfinished material I have (for instance I have a few leaderheads lying around)), feel free to PM me and I’ll see if we can work out something. I might be convinced to finish up some of my smaller projects (i.e. diplomacy music but not CotW) if anybody really needs something.
It’s a bit sad to go now, when I haven’t done much in such a long time, but I suppose I might as well do it officially now rather than fade out. I’ve had quite a ton of fun these past few years, learning more about history and programming, making good friends on this board, learning a bit about myself. I don’t know if any of the older generations of modders, including my generation, are still active, but I sincerely hope that I (and others of my generation) have provided good influence on later generations, just as earlier generations of modders (such as Wyz_sub and Arma) provided on me. I want to therefore thank you all of the fellow modders I have worked with and received assistance from, including Wyz_sub, The Capo, Ekmek, Nitram15, veBear, Gaius Octavius, Ball Lightning, Dutchking, The J, and many others I can’t remember, and I also want to thank the countless others forum members who, although not modders, still provided just as much help, encouragement, and guidance. I hope that I was able to provide even a little bit of help, encouragement, and guidance in return.
It’s been really fun. I remember when I first joined five or six years ago, unsure of myself and of my abilities. I was still in high school back then, and I really owe it to the kindness of Wyz sub for taking me in and allowing me to help with the diplomacy music for CivGold. A lot has happened since then, and I’m now in college and the world (including my personal one) has changed much, for better or worse – but I’m certain civfanatics, even if I forget about it from time to time, was an important part of my life for many years, and that is meaningful and wonderful in and of itself.
Anyhow, enough with sentimentality. Once more, I offer my deepest apologies for being unable to finish the work I should have finished a long time ago. However, even though I’m retiring, I’ll still be around Civfanatics, if any of you folks need me, so feel free to chat/argue with me on some of the other forums or send me a PM to talk about the good old days.
See y’all around!

P.S. Although I’m retiring from Civ4 modding, I haven’t retired from modding altogether per se. I might consider going into Civ5 modding if Gods and Kings proves to be entertaining enough (I haven’t bought it yet), and right now I’m dabbling a bit into playing around with CKII.

I'm happy that you returned,but I'm also sad that you will quit modding.
We all accept and respect your choice.
Can you maybe release your unfinished leaderheads?
Maybe some leaderhead makers can continue your work and release them?

Hmm... good idea about the leaderheads.
I don't have too many unfinished leaderheads left... Actually, let me take a look.
Alright, in my folders, I have unfinished LHs for:
- Abaoji (Khitan)
- Afonso (of Aragon/Castile, i.e. generic medieval spanish)
- Barghash (Swahili)
- Devapala (Bengal)
- Dharmasetu (Srivijaya)
- Nader Shah (Iran)
- Umar (Arabia)
All are unfinished to varying degrees, so I'm uncomfortable about releasing them. Any LH makers interested in using whatever is left of these folks is more than welcome, though, so if anybody really is interested in using these just tell me and maybe I'll upload them to CFC or send them through PM.
Happy retirement cybr, It's been an honour to cooperate with you
I hope you will still be lurking around like me though (not really doing that much, but still participating in conversations etc.)
And it's been an honour to work with you as well, particularly since you were the last modder I cooperated with and since our projects were my last completed projects.
I'll be running around CFC, but I might not be around the modding forums too much - although I'll still have my subscriptions, so if anybody needs anything I'll still be here.
cybrxkhan
Asian Xwedodah
Ahem... I have a finished cooperation by us still on my computer... Libya... It's been finished for almost a year now, but, well, I've been lazy, so haven't uploaded it yet
Oh, yes... that. D'you still need diplomusic for that? I forgot about that.

I would like to take a look at these (I am myself a leaderhead maker):
- Devapala (Bengal)
- Dharmasetu (Srivijaya)
- Nader Shah (Iran)
I and maybe other people could use them in various mods.
Of course people could use all of your LHs in various mods.
Maybe you can attach some of your leaderheads here if you don't want to upload them.

Good to hear from you man.
I am sure the community will benefit greatly from all of your files. I'll personally do my best to make sure your work was not in vain.

I've posted a link on my LH thread, it makes more sense to do it there, in case anybody else looking for LHs might be interested: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=11781497#post11781497

Certainly in the hands of the great The Capo, nothing shall be in vain! (Well, I hope you are just as much of a great The Capo as you were ages past...
man, it really has been a long time.)
Well, then thanks for all your work 
.
But your post sounded more like a total goodbye, which it does not have to be
.
People who can give advice are also needed, and there's always the option to come back, so this doesn't have to be an ultimate decision

I know, I have been slacking hard over the past year. I am itching to get back into it though, I just have a lot of backlogging right now. But I would consider it an honor to do your final works justice.

Oh no, this isn't an ultimate goodbye.
I just have a bit of a flair for melodrama, not to mention I feel like I need to explain things a bit after more or less unceremoniously dropping out of CFC for almost a year or so.But yes, I'll still be running around CFC, not just around the modding subforums... as much.
Of course! If there's any LH in particular you're interested in, you can just send me a message in my old LH thread. And it doesn't even need to be as half as good as your LHs to give 'em justice.
