1.05 "Portrait clothes are now uncoupled from ethnicity"

[Marconius]

The above line is in the 1.05 changelog and I've noticed a "culture" bit appearing at the end of every set in the portraits.gfx file, which I'm thinking is related.

So, anyone got an idea how this works exactly? As far as I can tell from practical experiments, nothing's changed.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that bit. Maybe it's something like if a Westerner lives in the Holy Lands for so long he'll eventually start dressing like them?

If a muslim (muslim_gfx) converts to christianity, he will stop wearing turbans etc.

Maybe that?

I don't know. I think that converts keep their clothes, as it's based on culture, not religion. muslimgfx is used for Ethiopians and some other non-Muslims after all.

from looking in game, it looks like it means that if you have a greek with arabic graphic culture then because the culture is greek he wears greek clothes, but hes still arabic coloured facewise.

 

[Marconius]

It doesn't mean any of the above. As king of Poland, I married a Nubian courtier and had arabic-looking children. When they grew up, their culture was Polish and they were Catholic, yet still wore turbans and otherwise arabic clothes.

Also tried doing this via save-file editing (change "graphical_culture" of a char), same results.
