Question about Egyptian generals

**Kassandros** · January 31, 2016, 11:23 PM

How difficult would it be to add in some Egyptian elements to the Ptolemaic generals? It shows up nicely in the troops (the occasional soldier wearing kohl or having darker skin), but the generals seem pretty generic.

Well, because they were Macedonians and they dressed in Hellenic way. Plus some of them already have kohl makeup anyway.

I don't see any with kohl. There's evidence in art and artifacts that by Ptolemy II's reign, the Greeks had begun to assimilate into Egyptian culture. Also, the entire aristocracy wasn't Macedonian. It would just make the faction more interesting to see some diversity in the generals.

Pretty sure Don_Diego redid their generals like every other faction. They should have custom generals, which campaign is this?

The Grand Campaign. It could just be that I have bad luck haha. They look different every time I install it, and like... none of my Athenian generals are even wearing helmets this install -.-

Some of our generals don't wear helmets until battle.

I mean when you attach them to an army, they get kitted up. None of them in my Athens game are wearing helmets xD. I'm obsessive about aesthetics, so it irks me the way the game randomizes the generals each install.
