How would I go about adding these portraits?
I tried to create a custom folder etc (like in METW2) for example: 58bc\data\ui\custom portraits\Gaius Julius, and edited the descr.strat.txt but it does nothing.
If I try to add the tgas into the 58bc\data\ui\roman folder it ctds, even after copius renaming of files.
any suggestions?
cheers.
In theory it is as simple as this:
- Copy from any unpacked version of the vanilla game, the whole portraits folder (in data\ui\roman\) and place it in 58bc\data\ui\roman. Then just overwrite the portraits folder with the one in the first page. No need to touch the descr_strat file.
Hope this helps.

You must only unpacked archived files in - ......\58bc\data\ui\roman
all tga-files in archive renamed like original files. Just replace this files
It works! Excellent, thanks.
its a portrait of Q.Labienus but maybe it could serve as a portrait for T. Labienus[/LEFT]

Wait.... Historically, was Caesar really Blonde, semi blonde or not???

He is said to have been tall of stature with a fair complexion, shapely limbs, a somewhat full face, and keen black eyes.....He was somewhat overnice in the care of his person, being not only carefully trimmed and shaved, but even having superfluous hair plucked out, as some have charged; while his baldness was a disfigurement would troubled him greatly, since he found that it was often the subject of the gibes of his detractors. Because of it he used to comb forward his scanty locks from the crown of his head....They say, too, that he was remarkable in his dress; that he wore a senator's tunic with fringed sleeves reaching to the wrist, and always had a girdle over it, though rather a loose one; and this, they say, was the occasion of Sulla's mot, when he often warned the nobles to keep an eye on the ill-girt boy
Seutonius, Divus Iulius 45
Julius Caesar's appearance is described or alluded to exceedingly seldom in classical literature. As one of these few references, and by far the most important, Seutonius' description (Iulius 45) will always be read with the utmost interest.
Monroe E. Deutsch, Concerning Caesar's Appearance
I believe there is no surviving reference to Caesar's hair colour in ancient literature.
His teeth were wide apart, small, and ill-kept; his hair was slightly curly and inclining to golden; his eyebrows met. His ears were of moderate size, and his nose projected a little at the top and then bent slightly inward. His complexion was between dark and fair
Seutonius, Divus Augustus 79
He was about the average height, his body marked with spots and malodorous, his hair light blond, his features regular rather than attractive, his eyes blue and somewhat weak, his neck over thick, his belly prominent, and his legs very slender.
Seutonius, Nero 51
Augustus's mother, Atia was the daughter of Caesar's sister whilst Nero stressed his descent from the divine Augustus.
What does this suggest with regard to Caesar's hair colour? I have no idea
Well, Nero's is slightly blonde and Augustus is Blonde but both of them were not Caesar's Biological decendants so there's no telling??
1. When new mods 77BC v.3 and Marius-Sulla will be ready? I want to make a translation into Russian. I wish that the Russian version was implemented simultaneously with the English version. For players who do not understand English, 77BC and 58BC much less interesting game. 77BC and 58BC - this is a very special mods. It is very important to know real history.
Players must understand the meaning of historical tasks. For the popularity of projects it is very important.
2. If you'd like to do portraits for mods, it is necessary to give samples and I will ask the comrade L7c make these portraits
I think that I have finished all the unit cards, replacing the old ones both for 77BC and 58BC. So I will run some private beta-test and try to fix some things during this week. Hopefully, everything might be ready in about a week. Anyway, if you want to start working with the translation I could send you the latest version of both mods.
Concerning Marius vs. Sulla, we are still awaiting for a proper map for the modification.
Thanks for your support, Kozak

That would be very good. I am interested primarily texts files with scripted mission messages and description and characterization of units and information like acta diurnia in 58BC - all unique information for the mod.
And if possible in any way would be very good if you place noted for translation in some way. In 58 BC I spent a lot of time not to transfer, as necessary to search phrases in the text

Wow!!! That's Great..... Oh Can I also request for another second (also for custom use) portrait of Caesar??
It kind a looks even great when they're not looking directly at the camera in my opinion.....
This one for vercingetorix is a good one.. its from the TFT
