So the character models/portraits look awesome.
I think a neat idea, fitting with the times, would be to have the ability to capture the character as a Marble Statue or Bust.
So any character that attains a certain level of prominence gets tagged as "marbelized" and then when they die, and you look at their history, their portrait shows as a marble bust based on whatever age they were when the bust was "commissioned."
Could even sort of expand that more generally: dead characters have their default viewable portraits changed to some sort of period-relevant artwork depiction based on their culture, prominence (if any) and age of relevance (and you could always click a button to see the "real" portrait of the deceased.
So a famous Roman general would have a marble bust of him in is 40s, say, while a child that died at age 7 would probably have some sort of crude sketch on papyrus as a memorial, and a barbarian warrior would have an ornate wooden carving, stuff like that.
Exactly zero gameplay impact, yet such flavour.
