Portrait mod for SS6.4 v4.0 released (17/7/12)

[greywarden]

It's not working. I edited the descr_cultures manually since i have another mod that change the file, but my portraits as England are still the same.

sorry to megabump, but are there any portraits for middle eastern merchants, priests or spies? I get the vanilla ones in my game.

I am afraid not, only the Generals/Nobles portraits were done for middle east; maybe one day I'll have the motivation to add more portraits and include this stuff for the middle east as well as further expanding the Nobles/Generals portraits. The question is does anyone still play this game?

Can you post your descr_cultures.txt so I can have a look at it.

I'm positive a lot of people still play M2TW.

Also curious if you could not only add realistic portraits for the agents (priests, spies, assassins) but also the captains and admirals as well?

Please administrator, it lacks a lot of file in the download.
Is what you can put the right files thank you, it lacks the characters in Kingdom of Heaven and Muslim factions have images of Darth Vador (Stars Wars)
It also lacks the images of the merchants and the MAP

Hi, I am having some troubles with this mod. I extracted the SS6.3 files into: local disk/ steam / steamapps / common / medieval 2 total war / mods
When I launch the game, the default portraits are active. Not really sure what to do now.

Thanks!
