Medieval Portraits Project

[sumskilz]

the game assigns them randomly

It doesn't exactly assign them randomly, it draws them from a pool for each culture in the order that they are in the file so you won't have a Russian voivoide wearing a Templar's tunic.

How far does the game permit heroes appearance?

Custom portraits for individuals can be scripted.

Is it possible to break generals being tied to a family tree?

Yes. There will be a family tree but not all generals have to be in it. You can make generals recruitable.

True picture of Selim I, but pic has low quality:
