I think the national leader portraits look really cool. I like that they are in color. They even make HItler look cool.

I don't know if we've seen Churchill's portrait but I bet it is best portrait.

From what we have seen from videos and screenshots, the cool new portraits are not limited to main countries and main parties.

We've already been shown minor ministers from minor countries in unlikely to rule parties and generals/leaders for various countries.

The number of portraits in HOI3 vanilla alone was on the order of thousands. I really wonder whether they have indeed drawn colour portraits for the leaders and ministers of the Liberian communist party (not least because AFAIK there never was a real Liberian Communist Party).

Nah, this seems very likely to be stuff that they'll be releasing DLCs for. I don't actually have a big problem with this, and I'm sure modders will make mods using the old B/W photos so if you're really hankering to have pictures for your Ethiopian fascist ministers you can still have them for free.

yea cropping a photo is one thing, and bear in mind in HOI3 they didnt do them all, i find custom art unlikely

i dont know the Dutch political system at the time, but for UK i would expect Baldwin / Chamberlain / Churchill, not King George V / VI
It is indeed Chamberlain. King George is, I believe, the National Spirit here.

We saw that generals for minor countrys can use the same portraits. Maybe there will be a pool of portraits for leader of the different factions, which will be randomly used for minor countrys, until they get unique leaders.

Anyone who worked on WATW for EvW knows just how difficult it is to even find out the names for national leaders, let alone photos (Here's the thread where we struggled to find anyone left-wing/communist in Liberian politics) - I can't even imagine having to draw portraits for them all.

Also, we were told (a very long time ago) that there would be automatically-generated generals (and ministers?) in HOI4, presumably with generic stats, names, and portraits - so there's not even really a need for pre-drawn portraits for everyone.

Respectfully I don't care what you find likely. No where did I say EVERY leader and minsters would have a custom portrait. I only said it was not limited to major ministers in major nations, which is a fact based on videos and screenshots.
