That's what you get when you're trying to re-create the Byzantine Empire in the 20th century in a WW2 game.

That's an in-game portrait? Looks like a cartoon from a phone clicker game.

If it makes you feel better you can get Adolf Hitler as the byzantine Emperor.

the short answer is to just cheat by typing in event bftb_greece.232
or if you want it legit you are gonna need to have Germany go down the oppose Hitler path then form Byzantium,
It might be like the Hitler in the USA though i that it may have only a small chance of happening,
I would just cheat, his traits are pretty good.
Edited to now include uncensored Emperor.

Oh Yes.
So... Wait, we can have Adolf Hitler as
Architect with Speer in America and become a President
As Senior Hilter of Argentina.
And now as Basileus.
Awesome

Probably all of it is extremely rare sadly. It would be nice if they increased the chances to much higher than it is now as well as increase the chances of a oppose hitler.

Argentine Hitler is something like 1 in 200 and even then its an AI only event for some reason. Why else would we be playing Argentina in WW2?
I would have really hoped for a separate portrait, kind of like Mussolini gets if you restore Rome as Italy. This dude is just impossible to take seriously as an emperor.
10 day national focus, to trim the mustache into a 1940s barely there 'stash.
He's not ugly he's just goofy. Like he belongs in a Three Stooges Episode.

Okay this thread is clearly intended to be humorous but it actually raises several really good points:
1. I don't think anyone is fond of the portrait of Georgios Kosmidis. It's certainly better than having a generic portrait, but the quality just seems...off. I think the reason for this is that there are very few surviving photos of Kosmidis - the only one I could find on the internet was of very poor quality and was the exact same one the artists probably had to go off of. Still, it'd be nice if it could be touched up somehow.
2. They should give George II a "Basileus" portrait when you restore Byzantium. It would be nice if you could restore him to a place of power at the end of the Byzantine focus tree so you could see the portrait enlarged. They probably won't do that since the Byzantine path hinges on the monarch being reduced to a constitutional role. On that note, I think they should make it so that non-aligned Greece can restore Byzantium if it retakes Constantinople and controls all Turkish provinces. I find it hard to believe that any non-communist Greek government wouldn't proclaim itself to be the heir to Byzantium if it had conquered Turkey. While they're at it, they need to adjust the non-aligned Byzantine flag to get rid of the ugly white margins on either side of the actual standard (the red and yellow crosses in the white and red squares, obviously).
3. The "Byzantine Hitler" is hilarious but I'm beginning to question why there needs to be so many overpowered leaders in this game. I get that "Byzantine Hitler" has a basically 0% chance of happening, but there are other leaders with extremely powerful stats. For example, Dürrüşehvar is just absurdly OP and can come to power relatively easily (from my understanding). There is no reason why she should have better stats than titans of the period such as Churchill, Hitler, Roosevelt, or Stalin. At the very least, they should be giving the bigger and significant leaders of the time period ways to improve their stats over time so that they aren't "worse" than memey leaders whose chances of taking power during the game's time period were very, very small.

They're chasing the memester crowd. Look to mods for a more serious experience.

The "Overpowered" Leaders are to compensate for them being much weaker nations or as a reward for pulling off some feat. The Big 4 you mentioned are boosted by the fact they ruile over Majors and that is all the clout they need to be serious on the world stage.
Sultan Lady may have nice buffs but it doesnt take away the fact that Turkey is in the Firing line for 4 of the 7 Majors.
