Nice mate!!! +Rep
Really nice move, J! I like the portraits of the Admirals especially. Keep the good work up, please

Gorgeous.
Have you thought about collaborating with Tuca on Period Portraits Mod 0.4 and may be combining your efforts? For now I will install his mod and yours. Splendid work. +1 Rep.

The Realistic City Graphics mod, is very good will try some of the others.

Holy crap man, this is impressive. Love the loading screens. It's all awesome really !
Loving new farms on campaign map.
Incredible work! Even purely aesthetic improvements such as this make the game so much more enjoyable and immersive. As suggested above, you might consider collaborating with Tuca for period portraits. If not, then I'll surely help you as you helped me with my mod .
For now I have one minor suggestion. Your event graphic for "Rebellion" is the painting of the Battle of Denain during the War of the Spanish Succession (and you use the same for a loading screen). You could use this instead, an equally powerful and more relevant work which features the Battle of Culloden during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 (by David Morier):

In any case, cheers and +rep my friend!
Yea Tuca period portraits are nice I use them, but they R only of the West.

Whoa, I'd given up on ETW and now this comes along! VERY nice work indeed.
Twelve portraits, which may be used as ministers or generals (of course there's a good chance you already have a lot of these):

I can change them to a specific size if need be.

I fully agree with you about rectangles and inconsistency of art work copies used. But I like it 100x more than plastic a-la Doom 3 model look used in vanilla ETW.
Johan, did you switch to NTW? I keep bringing in things like this mod on top of your baby TROM and even with shortcomings of vanilla ETW I prefer it to NTW.

Thanks for those portraits, VB! I've just used the Unknown sitter and Joseph II as non-historical kings and I intend to use some of those portraits you've provided in that particular role as well. Some very interesting characters among them for sure! (I intended to +rep you, but I need to spread it around a bit more). In any case, thanks a lot for those and you bet you'll be mentioned in the credits..
For the moment, I have to show you all these; they are the historical leaders of the major nations (and their colonies) with which you can start a Grand Campaign:
From top to bottom, they are:
- Peter the Great of Russia
- Karl XII of Sweden
- August II of Poland-Lithuania
- Friedrich I of Prussia
- William III of Great Britain
- Carlos II of Spain
- Leopold I of Austria
- Louis XIV of France
- Willem van Oranje of the United Provinces
- José Sarmiento y Valladares of New Spain
- M. de Sauvolle of Louisiana
- Francis Nicholson of the Thirteen Colonies
The last two are the main generals for Spain and the United Provinces, that I had forgotten to post in my earlier post. They are:
- Francisco Castillo Fajardo
- Hendrick van Nassau-Ouwerkerk

So yeah, I've now started working on the non-historical kings, which is a bit more of a tricky process. This involves judging whether or not a particular portrait has that 'regal' look and can be adapted into the style I've been using so far. At the moment, I think I can make it about halfway there without any problems, but that still leaves roughly fifty sitters that need to be replaced..
Any help you guys can provide with that will be much appreciated! And, as you could see with Viscount Bolingbroke, I intend to +rep and mention you in the credits if you do!
