    Default Portrait Cards?

    I am playing Hegmon Ancient mod, and i have placed portrait cards from RTW for Barbarian factions in data/UI/eastern_european folder as this is where they start in campaign. i have also amended the text file descr_strat file to allow my own portraits to appear at the beginning of campaign and they work fine.

    Now when i start the game, and after turn 6 there is an option to recruit a new general, but the portrait is showing up as a middle eastern portrait??

    I have checked the text file descr_sm_factions and the eastern_european for culture is correct for the factions in question. There must be another text file that i need to change to allow the correct portraits to appear?

    I have also tried to alter the descr_cultures text file but this makes no changes either?

    Can anyone help with this issue?

    Are you running Vista? If so Vista might be storing some mod files as "compatibility files" elsewhere on your hard disk which could be why your changes aren't getting into the game.

    In your desc_culture file, check the portrait mapping entry for the east europeon culture

    Nope there's no limit, as long as you name them all with consecutive numbers.


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
