New generals/princesses/captains portraits

**eisx** · May 27, 2011, 05:35 PM

This little mod replaces all portraits of generals, princesses and captains. It isn't professional work but I hope you will like it.
How to use?
1. download the file and unrar
2. copy the ui folder into the ~/data/ folder (if you have unzipped files replace them, but of course first make a backup from the original ui folder)
3. edit the medieval2.preference.cfg file and insert this:
[io]
file_first = 1
4. If you start the game the portraits will change.

If you don't want to use just delete the ui folder or replace it with the original one.

The muslim portraits give me concern. Mainly because I see you included African (black skinned) individuals. This is historically correct (to a degree, anyway) but in family trees it creates awkward momments where an African FM and his wife produced white-skinned children. The implications, you see...

You are right but this problem exists in the original muslim fractions too. There are Timurids and Mongolians with caucasian portraits. Maybe this is the reason of the lot of masked portraits. It's not too realistic but I didn't want to skip my favourite black actors.

Huge problem with this mod.. When a general reaches the age of 50 he gets a completly DIFFERENT portrait!!! My king had as a portraits a young and good looking guy.. when he reached the age of 50 he suddenly got the portrait of Hanniball Lecter!!!!!!!!!!!

(this happens to my other generals aswell)

Of course at the age of 50 the portraits change. Sorry, but Anthony Hopkins' old portrait is very similar to Hannibal Lecter. Strange!

Yea but with most portraits mod they keep the same portrait, just looking older.. grey beard etc, less hair.. This came as a shock that my handsome crusading general changed into freaking Hannibal Lecter
