Being way too hyped for the game for how soon it still is, I've been replaying EU:Rome (and having a lot of fun with it) and one of the "issues" is keeping track of the sheer amount of characters to deal with. It's not that there are too many. It's great seeing all these characters trying to further their careers, murdering their rivals, becoming corrupt, disloyal, etc.

But in truth, due to the limited amount of portrait variation it's hard to remember characters and to see who is who. I think that this might why they're emphasising realism and uniqueness for the new character portraits to such a degree. I was wondering if anyone had had a similar experience. Hopefully there will also be tons of characters in Imperator.

As long as they have the heart and soul of Jade Dragon portraits, I'll be happy.

A little preview can be seen here starting at 12:35:

Seems to be that they all look quite unique and they are build in a more fluid 3D form instead of the more rigid 2D form that Crusader Kings 2 has, a vast improvement at least. I do wonder how they will do other cultures besides Romans and how different ethnic/racial backgrounds will be combined with different cultures.
