I've noticed that your leaderheads tend to no (or very little clothes) in the Ancient Era, even though the Firaxis ones do. Perhaps Ghengis could do with some armour?

1) During the Stone Age there really wasn't that much armor. The first armor most people think of was worn by the Spartans and Athenians and that was 600-400 BC, so take it back another 3400 years. Even in the art of this time people were mostly represented as naked both in combat and in sporting competitions.

2) Its a heck of a lot easier not to make specific armor for this period. I have lots of medieval stuff but not so much Ancient armor, can't use chainmail, and Amazons and Genghis don't really fit the toga catagory.

HeHeHe. I wanted Genghis to look TOUGH. Somebody you DID NOT want to meet on the battlefield, as opposed to the ugly wino look Firaxis went with.

In the .gif, he looks VERY weird. His biceps seem to be pulsating, and although he looks pretty tough, it just isn't realistic. I mean - not all leaders looked good and were extremely fit. Take this into consideration.

Here is a picture of a painting I found on the internet, supposedly of Genghis Khan.

The Ancient Age in CivIII isn't just the stone age! You're looking at Iron Age, Bronze Age, etc. CivIII's Middle Age begins with Pikemen and they were't around as a fighting formation until well into the Medievil period. So CivIII's Ancient Age actually spans 5000 years! All that time with no clothes on...

eh, just give 'em a hat or two, personally I think Genghis is the type of guy to walk around topless. Not to mention I like the eye candy.

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that Genghis spent most of his life in a saddle conquering the world. The guy in the picture would probably kill the horse.

Kubai Khan (GK's grandson) would probably fit the picture better as he ruled from court in China, best of my knowledge.

Thanks, Noel-Marcus, he won't be as muscularly impressive in the other eras since he'll be wearing armor, etc.

I'm not a history major or anything, but I do believe you're right - Genghis Khan did spend most of his life on a horse conquering Asia. But horses are pretty strong creatures, so I'm sure one could've supported his weight. Anyways, it seems like the Genghis Khan you have here would be fairly heavy, as well.

The new leadermate of the month (August) looks great. I don't know much about Helen of Troy except that she was the wife of some Greek ruler who was kidnapped and was the reason for Greece attacking Troy, wtih the whole Trojan horse thing and yadda yadda...I think. I hope I'm right! So, I don't have any comments, except that it looks good.

No prob, my Genghis could probably carry the horse, where as the pictured Genghis would probably eat his.....

Exactly. The Mongolian horses were famous for their small size and extreme strength and sturdiness.

Besides, the painting shown was an elder Genghis. Everybody gains weight when their old. Of course, when his conquering was in it's prime he was in his 50's, and that's why Firaxis' version looks the way it does. A weathered old man who's been through hell.

When Genghis was a youngster I'm sure he was pretty damn fit, although maybe not to the point in GhengisFarbs leaderhead. This may be a better Atilla, but maybe I'm just saying that cause I want him to make an one

Never-the-less, Farb is the best leaderhead maker out there and my mentor. I back him in everything he does, simply because his work is amazing. I'm waiting for this leaderhead to come out so I can make a personal mod to play as the Mongols.

Apparently, you didn't read the explanation about the posse, the hornets, and the lump of gravy.

Although "been through hell" would explain the 4" cracks in his skin. They must of formed as the liquid was boiled out of his body!

Thanks for the support! I posted the preview of Helen of Troy and should have both of these sets done by the end of the weekend!

LoL Ghengis.

Though I think a few scars would do him well. He is/was a warrior after all.
