[SUB-MOD] Portrait Enhancement Pack **Ar-Adunaim RELEASE**

[paleologos]

Fabulous!

[El Monstero29]

Your work is amazing, sir! I hope you can find the time/desire to create some new portraits for the evil men too.

Either way, I wish I could give you more than 1 rep!

[Louis Lux]

I actually did all of the portraits in vanilla TATW, with some occasional assistance. I wouldn't mind someone editing them but I agree that making an alternative from scratch is probably better and might even be faster.
Keep up the good work.

[♔atthias♔]

good job +rep

[Tal-In-Galumir]

Such nice portraits! Keep up your amazing work

On a side note, Haldir's face does look somewhat weird, flat if I were to describe it. Maybe you could opt for a more natural look given time?

Yea, I am going to do them but it will still take a while in all probability before I start to work on them, cause they are one of the last factions on my to-do list.

I knew you had done all the generic portraits but I was not sure about the custom ones since there are some factions and generals who are not present in TATW vanilla.
Btw I was already planning to contact you sooner or later because I wanted to ask your permission to edit some of the generic portraits.

You are right. It's probably due to the "remove noise" tool of which I always make an extensive use when I am making elven portraits as it gives them a smother skin, but I probably overdid it a bit this time XD
I will try to fix it.

Any plans for Khand they need a good deal of variety

[jedi7000nathan]

His hair could stand to be a bit longer and his cloak could be more difined but other then that I like it

If you are referring to Khand having their own specific portraits, I don't think that's possible right now cause the share the same culture with Rhun and the Easterlings. So, all three of them unfortunately will have very generic portraits.

Are you talking about Halbarad? And if that's the case, what you think about this version:

@Naras
What you could do is to set Khand to start the game as Nomadic and have a script that changes them to Evil Men culture at turn 1.
That allows a unique portrait set.

[Netheriel]

The problem with Khand is that they change religion if the good path is chosen.
From my testing, having a change of religion midgame with the portrait set to a specific culture/religion create a lot of issues, like having black portraits for every generic general.

So my advice is to leave Khand simply with the culture portraits and not link them to their religion to avoid any problem.

Much better I like it alot

[Celtic Magister]

Naras, is it possible you might consider creating unique portraits for the Ar-Adunaim random generals? Especially since the current ones usually appear more than once on different generals.

Sure, as I stated in some previous posts I will make new portraits for every possible faction. In the next days there will be a preview for Gondor, that I have almost finished already. Then I will start working on Bree or on the Ar Adunaim, I have not decided yet. And I am going to make some more Northern Dunedain too, especially because the DaC team decided to not include the ones with the Arnorian armour and so, right now, they just have around 40 unique portraits. Anyway, v3.0 is still far off in the future and my sub-mod will probably be released when totally completed, so the order in which faction comes out is not that important right now.

Will the ones with Arnorian armor still be an option in a separate sub mod or are they going to not be a thing

All the portraits I made so far will be in my submod. DaC will be missing those ones and probably most of the custom generals.

[Naras]

I want to start by saying it was made me notice that the ND generals “old” portraits were way too old considering that they swap portrait at the age of 50 in the game but the ones I made looked more like they were in their 70s. Therefore, I made them a little bit younger (for the most part I just reduced the wrinkles and their hair are slightly less greyish). So, ND old generals will look better and with a more fitting portrait overall in future DaC versions.
That said, here is another preview with some fresh new portraits:


Gondor/Dol Amroth Generals




Gondor/Dol Amroth Custom Generals
-1st row: Gondor
-2nd row: Dol Amroth




Gondor/Dol Amroth Diplomats




Dwarven Generals
- these are definitely the last ones




Gloin and Balin




Captains/Admirals
-Dol Amroth, Erebor, Khazad-dum and Ered Luin (in that order)

Nice work as always Naras. I've noticed that Athelstan in Gondorian portraits, now i'm waiting for Travis Fimmel's Ragnar to pop up somewhere in these portraits, would be my favourite general haha

[MIKE GOLF]

Great work!

[Turkafinwë]

These look fantastic as always!
