Why aren't we using this guy in the loading screens?

[Batzorio]

First of all, you spent the time actually making the thing, so why not use it?
It fits the style of all the other portraits, and would fit right in.

For everyone interested in who this guy actually is:

Its all Dutch to me.

He's face. It's.. awful.

 

[Grand Historian]

I don't know why either, but it could just be a slip-up.

I actually started a thread a while back on new people in the loading screens (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/who-should-be-in-new-loading-screens.832008/), and he was one of the ones people wanted the most.

Okay..? I don't see how this helps in any way if you don't reason your statement.
I don't see how his face is more 'awful' when compared to Lous XIV for example.

I just decided I wanted to bring it up again.

The loading screens don't change for me while loading (get different ones for separate loads though) , but I usually get that one with the in it Queen. And honestly I'm tired of looking at this all the time.

It's Catherine the Great, but I do see her an odd amount of times as well.

I don't see anything wrong with it unless it takes more effort than checking a box or writing a line of code.

But I don't care anyway because I use the 50 loading screens mod. I'd recomend it to everyone.

 

[Phalanx300]

I really like to see him as well! He was quite meaningfull in the era as well revolutionising the army with many other countries copying the way things were changed. (In turn copied from ancient Romans)

I'm sure they could take a moment to throw it in there.

 

[Apolojuice]

He looks like he's trying to resist a fart.

 

[greendevil]

Putting him in would be nice, but what about adding Charles V too?

He was the person who held the most power during the 16th century. Also, he represented the embodiement of the rebirth of the universal empire. He's such an important figure of the times and he should deserve at least one loading screen.

I also want Prince Maurice of Orange as a loading screen. I do not think it would be difficult since every major DLC give us a new loading screen, well except this.

If they will put in a Dutchman, chances are it will be one or other.

 

[FearTheAmish]

Wasn't he also known as Maurice of Nassau? But i do wonder why he isn't in there and also his Father William the Silent who i find a far more interesting character of Dutch politics of this period.

Hm.. I guess, his face looks like copy-paste with some cosmetic edits.

I disagree, I think it fits right in with the style of all the other portraits they've done, considering they made it themselves.
You could say you don't like it because it's a 'copy-paste with some cosmetic edits', but then you'd say that you don't like any of the portraits already being used.
Almost all of those loading screens are basically redrawings of old paintings.
