[Asiak]

Omg they are beautiful.

We should be nearing release soon. You've been teasing this since june

Is the rightmost example of Tibetan portrait (the orange headscarfed female) intended? It looks really distorted

 

[Zhuohua]

I dont want to be rude, but it's kinda too short for a dev diary. And I thought you would introduce the decision of Chinese Administration today.

 

[Vindahl]

Wow, beautiful portraits, I agree that these looks very good.
I might just think about buying this DLC, if only for these portraits...

Release is always soon™.

 

[MrParadux]

Really nice art. It always makes a big difference for me that the region/religions/cultures also have distinct visual differences.

 

[Chef Boyardee]

Man, Crackdtoothgrin is a great artist. I hope in the future he can redo the Irish and Russian portraits, which are just awful.

 

[Gurkhal]

Looks very nice.

 

[Bearnest]

Can you have the Panda CoA in different colors than black and white? or does only the background changes?

 

[Enriador]

All looking very good! Kudos to the art team.

Though I still wonder about the new wastelands, and if we'll be able to change them back to good ol' grey.

 

[LordKvasir]

Chinese portraits look awesome. Tibetan ones need more polishing.

Although I too thought it might be about that, this isn't that surprising.

And not all dev diaries are or have been large they don't come with a minimum amount of new information.

It's fairly typical that at the beginning of a dev diary cycle or the end of a dev diary cycle that that they start to get skinnier.

We will be getting Chinese unit models and Tibetan holding models. If a dlc is made in the aftermath adding Tibetan units and Chinese holding models, I would be willing to pay for it as a stand-alone DLC (Regardless of whether or not they should have been included from the get-go).

But the most glaring need for new art, in all of CK2 is the desperate need for NEW Arab portraits and units (I have been wanting to use the Persian ones for Arabs since that dlc was released. The Pretty Units mod fixes the units at least.)

Middle-East 2.0 expansion next? (New Arab portraits, Berber portraits, Sufi society, new Crusader mechanics, Knights of Lazarus, Templars as joinable society, Ghazi holy order, 5th Crusade bookmark w possible Crusader Kingdom of Egypt forming or Francis of Assisi converting Sultan al-Kamil as special event.) Yes, please!

Edit: Idea for a temporary mod for new arab portraits

These look fantastic, but are the Chinese also going to have unique holding art?

 

[Barnham]

I really like the holding icons!

Way to make me look again and realize that the left most one seems to be the right most one's heir.

If you don't want to be rude, try not being rude.

Are there icons for hospitals, forts and trading posts?
