I'm not completely sold on the portraits yet. I'll have to wait till I am actually seeing them in-game before I can form a solid opinion.

The only issue I have with either is the unusually red tint of the Indian portraits' skin. And I'm worried that some elements of the Turkish portrait packs may look out of place for later Turks, e.g. Seljuk and Ottoman Turks. Like the yurt mosques...
Still, if there's anything else we've learned from this, it's that there might be a new early Ottoman bey on the east Caspian (hard to tell due to the absence of any indication of what year it is in that particular screenshot)!

Turks look ok, the Indians less so but I reserve my judgment as we have don't have many examples yet. We should see something tomorrow with last dev diary. This one at least is not too bad.
Now we need Persian pack.

Hm, I'm not entirely sure about the portrait packs... Turkish ones look good, although a tad out of place. Maybe it's just because they are still WIP, can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with them. The Indian ones on the other hand..... shudder.... and everyone is forced to have them because they come bundled with ROI.... hopefully P'dox does some work on them before release. There clothes look pretty good, though.
On a rather unreleated note: has there ever be word on why P'dox doesn't just hire the guy who did the original portraits? His portrait mod looks just amazing.

The Turkish portraits look awesome. Definitely makes me want to consider playing a Cuman.
I have a feeling that maybe we just happened to have only gotten screens of the ugly and grotesque combinations of the Indian face sets. This guy from the Songs of India screens seems to look rather cool and fancy.
Then again, like others have already said, I wish there was more skin tone variation in Indians, like in real life.

Okay, I have to admit that one isn't too bad. But I'm going to stop saying bad things about the Indian portraits because I know that once I start playing with them, I'll stop caring all that much. After all, they're not really horrible; at least in my opinion.
But I do have to say, I'm really interested to see how/if the CPR mod is going to include these new portrait packs. Should be neat.
Actually, looking at the screenshots I notice the symbol for piety/religion map mode. It's kind of neat, does anyone know what it actually is?
EDIT: And I hope that when it comes out the 'you can create a new title' icon at the top is changed to something more like the circles that the Indians use for their titles.

The Turkish ones look fantastic - thanks Paradox. The Indian ones however... I don't know, maybe the website has just chosen the worst ones for its preview screens, or maybe they are just beta placeholders, but if not, then I'm pretty disappointed.
Mongols can be blonde too.
There's no reason why 'Aryan descent' would imply light skin.
Is there anything in the Polish text bout how many Indian song there'll be? I like all these enhancements, but the music packs so far are my favorites.
The bearded one looks fine (this one : http://www.gram.pl/upl/galerie/8070/2014031709214411.jpg ; I mean I can really imagine people IRL with exactly the same face, compared to the generic western ones for instance ) ; indeed, the Turkish ones are great too. But it's a shame that we can't see Indian women yet.

That would be quite nifty. Was it said towards the end of the stream or on the beggining of it? I know we will find out tommorow, but the suspense is killing me
Yes, that's true (and if I remember correctly Genghis Khan may have been a redhead) but when people think of blonds these days they only think of Caucasians.
I think Turkish units are really, really cool and they are definitely on my watchlist.
Yes, it's the very red tint that bugs me out, too.
I can totally "believe" in those Turkish portraits for Seljuks in Persia and Anatolia, I have no problem with it. But the pagoda castles and yurt mosques are totally out of place for non-nomadic Turks (like Seljuks who have adopted sedentary and/or urban lifestyles and Persian civilization. They are awful for Volga-Bulgaria and the Khazars, if I know anything about them. I hope the game would so clever to change holding pictures depending not just on province culture but religion, too. Somehow I think the current holding pictures are fine for Tengri Turkic peoples but not for peoples who have adopted any of the Abrahamic faiths.
This. I am looking forward to seeing what wonders Cybr can pull with these assets.

We were told that already in January when they announced the DLC.
