As some of you may know, I've been working a lot on changing / modding the graphics for EU3. Many of my creations are spread out across the forums in various different threads. Seeing as how that simply doesn't work too well, I decided to follow Merlin2199's example and combine all my graphical work (past work and future work) into this thread..
Feel free to leave comments if you see something you like / hate / wish to ask questions about!
I will continue to post updates regarding my graphics work for this game in this thread..

You can download this package here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aids91omyd0
Beware: you can only use one of the three files included in the .zip file. You need to choose one for the period you wish to play and rename the appropriate file to great_men.dds. Use that file to replace the original great_men.dds file in the gfx\interface folder in your main game directory!
This mod is still a work in progress, so I may occassionally update it. Several people are also trying to find ways to incorporate all these advisors into the game. There has been little progress so far..
Also, be sure to check out Merlin2199's 18th century advisors as well.

Historical Load Screens
(The above image shows the four load screens the way they look combined. In reality, they are four individual pictures).
This mod is still in development, which means I may include additional images in future posts.
Unfortunately this package is no longer available for download. The website I used to host it at is down and I lost certain files while I had to clear out my computer.
If you downloaded this file once, I'd really appreciate it if you'd be able to send it back to me. Send me a PM for details.

Alternate Prussian Uniform
Merlin2199's wonderful uniforms are a huge inspiration and since I was playing Prussia at the time and wasn't too fond of Merlin's uniform for that country (no offense ofcourse, Merlin), I decided to make some of my own, as you can see above.
