    Default Changing Unit Cards of all the generals

    I was wondering would it be possible to somehow change the unit cards for the generals of each faction? So that they would feel more real? Cause with all the new wonderfull units the generals unit cards seem a bit out of place. Well maybe I'm complaining but some time ago I played Third Age Total War and there the generals unit card were great cause they were the faces of the actors from the Lord of The Rings movies.
    Example:

    So I was kind of hoping that maybe it would be possible to do something similar in RS2. The faces for the Roman generals could be taken from the HBO tv series Rome and movies like Gladiator, Ben Hur and so on. The Macedonian, Ptolemaic, Pergamonian and Seleucid generals faces could be taken for example from Alexander, and the Free Greek from Troy (yes I know it's a different time line but it doesn't matter as we would only use the faces). As far as it goes for all other factions I tkink that if the team thinks about it we will be able to find movies in which we will be able to find the apropriate faces.
    Of course I'm not sure is it possible from the legal point of view but if Third age could do it the RS2 should also have no problems right?
    And if there are any problems then maybe the generals unit cars could be made the same way they are in Westeros TW? Here you can see how they look in the mentioned mod:

    I wouldn't be opposed to that or other ideas concerning character portraits....it's just getting somebody to do them that's the issue. There are, afterall, hundreds and hundereds of the little beggers.

    But I don't think he's making ALL new ones.

    I might have a plan, as far as this goes, but I'll tell you later in the devs forum. Got a fair bit of work to do this weekend... Planning to make the annual excursion to France, thus all sorts of trivial and irrelevant things need to be done before we go. Like redecorating the living room (!).

    Well, of course. Redecorating the living room is a necessary part of any excursion to France, isn't it?

    I understand that worm is making some new cards but I still think it might look a little unprofessional and untidy if we have 1/3 of the new type and then most still the vanilla type. If this is to be the case then I would prefer to use photo-realistic ones. At least that way we can have a consistent format that is still different to vanilla...
