The new background images for events are great and really well done but am I the only one who feels like they're a bit empty? Consider the following for example:
courtyard.png


raidburning.png


tavern.png


A few people in each of these images would really help make the backgrounds feel alive rather than your character being the only person there; a few soldiers training or tending to weapons, raiders walking around, people just sitting and drinking, that type of thing. If need be, you could have an empty version for each of these backgrounds along with ones which actually feature people. When I suggest people, I don't mean 3D animated characters, that would be too much, but rather people painted into the background. What I find a little odd is that there is one background where this is already done and it looks pretty good; the battlefield

battlefield.png


Doesn't that look so much better with people in it? So yeah, a pretty minor suggestion overall but it's a small suggestion that would go a long way in my opinion.

I think they're lacking people because they don't want you seeing people wearing one pair of clothes in the entire world.

They could add different people to different regions by making the people a separate file that overlaps the normal portraits.

I also wouldn't mind more full sized 3d character models in events. I don't know if they're limited for technical reasons but I don't see why my events can't use 4-6 characters.

That's a good point about one pair of clothes for the world but the first three images I posted are European, and from what I can tell, they're used in all relevant events regardless of location. It'd be good if they had a European castle, African castle, etc. and included people wearing the clothes of that region.

I think the lack of background 3d characters is to make things run quicker (or technical reasons) which I'm all for.
