Description


Tired of Generic Portraits? Sick of the same guy being the leader of so many countries? Well, Molvanîa (and the HOI artist community) have got the fix for you! Introducing No More Generics! What was originally a revamp of the original Sensible Portraits by Eriador has become it's own project.

The goal of No More Generics! is to provide a portrait of each defined character in the game files. So far, No More Generics adds 700+ new portraits to the game. All "generic" portraits have been replaced, with all characters in the game having their own, unique portrait.

In addition to this, the generic pool has been greatly expanded. Even in nightmare situations, like Soviet Union Fragmented and Africa Decolonized, where many duplicate generics would be seen, there are very few repeats. The officers for many "important" countries, which will need to use the officer corps system, now also have appropriate generals. This includes countries like Sweden, Finland, China, Belgium, Argentina, and Brazil now have their own unique officer portraits. In addition, the Soviet Union has some higher quality options to pick from, which includes some officers in monarchist uniforms.

Lastly, I've also integrated some subideology icons from Kaiser Redux. They fit really well and flesh out the world that little bit more. I got the idea from Better Subideolgies for Vanilla. This is an ironman compatible version of that mod.

More information on mod progress, discussions, in addition to optional downloads are available on the No More Generics! Discord: https://discord.gg/y4CcubnWbE

Does this work with Road to 56?

I think wilhelm III portrait is wrong. I think that's his brother August Wilhelm, not him. Unless I have another mod changing that which I don't know about.

For me, if I promote generals to advisors, their portraites are question marks.

If I wasn't clear about that, I love the mod you guys made; it's an improvement over vanilla in every conceivable way.

I just thought that even in the event of mass-releasing puppets in Africa and the SU, it would be possible to make use of the vastly increased portrait pool and assign a different non-historical leader portrait to each country based on its ideology. So non-aligned Mali, for example, would have a different leader portrait by default than non-aligned Guinea.

It's less about the number, and more about the way they're assigned. If a country doesn't have a character, it will pick from a pool of generic portraits. There's no way to guarantee which one will be which, but I tried my best to make a large enough pool that's different for each ideology. A very large step above vanilla, but obviously not to the point that no generics exist. Mass releasing countries in Africa or the Soviet Union will show the limitations of the project.

The portrait pool for any generic portraits is around 5x the size of vanilla. In addition to the hundreds of character portraits added by the mod.

I suppose it's challenging to create a large number of high-quality portraits.

One possibility could be to select different portraits from the same 'cultural' set for countries with the same ideology, considering that puppets usually share the ideology of their master.

@DCGamer: My experience was different. While the leader portraits were different and more visually appealing, there were numerous duplicates among the leader portraits for the African and Soviet releasables.
