New leader portraits

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Any chance you could convince him to do three NEW leaders for Japan? Those 3 he proposes already exist in-game (see my avatar here for Oyama), and don't really need to be re-done.

Well yeah I can ask him, but he hasn't been online for a week, wherever he's gone.

It was my proposal to redo them, any leaders you had in mind?

 

[Gaius Marius I]

A good starting point might well be the existing leaders that currently don't have a pic either in your mod or from paradox (dates as currently shown in files):

Suzuki Kantaro (1905-1929)
Sato Tetsutaro (1907-1922)
Tachibana Koichiro (1909-1922)

you could also consider looking into some of the leaders from the VIP file for which pics might be found:

Tokugawa Yoshinobu (1857-1869) - last Shogun
Okubo Toshimichi (1860-1878) - Boshin war, Satsuma forces, General under the Meiji government
Katsura Taro (1866-1913, although i'm sure that VIP has extended his service way past, he was already retired and prime minister by 1901)

i've loaded all the japanese leaders from VIP into my easy unrar of your mod, for when MP games use it.

You could also consider some of these fellows...

Sadao Araki (one of the more colourful figures and strategists during the 1920s and 1930s, advocated mainland expansion, helped to plot the Mukden incident) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadao_Araki



Admirals:
Kawamura Sumiyoshi (important early figure in the IJN, naval academy figure, commanded during Taiwan expedition and Satsuma Rebellion) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawamura_Sumiyoshi
Uryu Sotokichi (1900-1927 - even a colour pic on wiki!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uryu_Sotokichi
Itoh Sukeyuki (commanded fleet during Sino-Japanese war) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itoh_Sukeyuki
Dewa Shigetō (commanded a squadron during several sea battles in the Russo-Japanese war)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeto_Dewa
Prince Takehito Arisugawa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Arisugawa_Takehito
and this familiar figure was already a rear admiral before the end of Revolutions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoroku_Yamamoto


Take your pick, lots of interesting people to choose from!

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Talked with Semper Victor yesterday, apparently he has already started working on Togo Heihachiro. But He has a list of japanese leaders he will make in the future, hopefully all these guys are on it.

I made a leaderfile and did research of a good lot of japanese leaders some months ago. I already sent it to Semper Victor

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Yeah Emir, Roger showed it to me. He's added some of his own aswell.

 

[Gaius Marius I]

Out of my list, I would hope that the 3 left-out Russo-Japanese War Army commanders do make the cut, it makes no sense to have 1 of 4 commanders (Nogi) and the overall commander (Oyama) but not the other 3...

 

[Gaius Marius I]

A heads up, if you get an error message about bureaucrat_speed (which i have with your mod), its because the trait is only recognized in-game as simply 'bureaucrat' despite what background_effects.csv says.

Britain and the Dominions (XVIII)

Well, well, well, gentlemen: I'm glad to announce you that the British leaders are finished at last with the ones I'm proceeding to post now:

I will start now with the Commonwealth leaders. In my next post, some Canadians.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

That's great news, since there are only a few Commonwealth generals, and I will release the pack after them.

 

[unmerged(88900)]

Semper,

Thanks for the Pearse leaderfile, looking forward to having this great man lead my Ireland.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Semper,

Thanks for the Pearse leaderfile, looking forward to having this great man lead my Ireland.

No problem (since I made the leaderfile).

Stay tuned for the next version that is only 6 leaderpictures away! (Alot of Commonwealth and Brits, for example!

 

[unmerged(88900)]

Sorry, I do apologise, I only referred to Semper since he made the post.

Thank you all the same.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Sorry, I do apologise, I only referred to Semper since he made the post.

Thank you all the same.

Hehe, don't worry. It was just a single leaderfile, albeit for a great national hero.

Working on an independent Ireland? I saw your post in the flag request thread.

 

[unmerged(88900)]

That he was! That goes for all 1916 leaders.

A republican socialist Ireland, naturally, just as Connolly wanted. Hoping to do an AAR also, if I'm not getting my arse handed to me (this will be my first time playing Vicky.

 

[Semper Victor]

Britain and the Dominions (XIX) - New Zealand

Okay, I know that in my last message I announced that in this one I would post the Canadian leaders, but there's been a slight change of plans, and I will be posting some new leaders for New Zealand here. New Zealand has no leaders in vanilla Vicky, so these chaps are new additions all of them:

Edward Walter Clervaux Chaytor (1868-1939)

(Service 1915-24, Background: cavalry_school, Personality: audacious)

Sir Andrew Hamilton Russell (1868-1960)

(Service 1915-July 1941, Background: drillmaster, Personality: efficient)

Bernard Cyril Freyberg, 1st Baron Freyberg (1889-1963)

(Service April 1917-10th September 1946, Background: natural_born_leader, Personality: dauntless)

Enjoy!

PW's And Semper Victor's Leaderpack v. 1.05

Can it possibly be it! You got that right! It's been quite a while since you last saw a version and this time, it's just in a rar file and not with a zip accompaning it and includes A LOT of new leaders.
I recommend firing up a game as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa or the United Kingdom in 1914 or any of the other scenarios for the UK to get a nice glimpse of what we have been working on, just for you! Also fixed have been all the green pixels!


Rapidshare:

Prinz Wilhelm's and Semper Victor's Leaderpack v. 1.05

Filefront:

Prinz Wilhelm's and Semper Victor's Leaderpack v. 1.05

As always, I hope you whole-heartedly enjoy it! And don't forget, feedback isn't bad!

(Psst... 1.05b will include more commonwealthers! )

The South African leader "van Deventer" had an ID error so here is a new version of the Leaderfile, and you get the two other guys aswell.

Here's the fix.

Enjoy.
