Thx I may try it sometime but I havent got much time right now.

[Hagbart]

The leaderhead looks GREAT!
I do not know much of Polish history, why are the Poles religious and militaristic?

BTW: The images load very slow from your Polish server.

[Piernik]

Religious because Poles were always connected with catholic church.
Militaristic - well we weren't independent all time, so we had to fight for our freedom.
That's in brief

Except for a brief period where they were Unitarian. The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) successfully brought them back into the Church though. I might be confused though.

Hm, I can't remember you did ever succeed...
But keep on fighting

[Piernik]

You think that our fighting for freedom was foolish? or something like taht??

[SKILORD]

This rocks man!

Poland!

No their struggles were not futile, it takes some one worthy to make this mod to put Communisim as their shunned gov't too, my hat's off to you.

Looking nice!

Is the leaderhead animated?

And can I download it in a zip instead of an exe?

[Piernik]

Thanks SkiLord fro worm words.

He is fully animated (he even blinks) but I'm afraid it not possible to download zip file, but you can always unpack exe file somewhere else - not in civ3 folder

[curtsibling]

Piernik, Thanks!
I'll give it a try.

PS

Poland is a fine nation.
During the Luftwaffe's bombing raids on my home town in WW2,
Polish battleships in our harbour put up anti aircraft fire at the German bombers.

For this I have always respected Poland!

[Martinus]

[Beren]

Especially those leaderheads!
