Thanks for the reply, Axalon

Lastly... The lack of oil - its a "feature"... Rationale, I am trying to maintain max consistency between V1.1 and V.2.01 game-experiences and battles. Thus the oil had to go (and I never liked it anyways, so it was an easy choice)...
I guessed it might have been later on in my campaign, when another VI feature - ie flaming arrows (at least on ordinary archers) - no longer seems to be available for taking out fort walls.

I'll take a look at the portraits, not a problem. Though maybe not straight away - I prefer to 'discover' new mods through playing rather than footling around in the files. It just ssems a bit unchivalrous to start undressing it before I get to know it better

As for those fantasy kings - absolutely never seem it's like before, so I have no idea where it might have come from. I brought it up more for the sake of the 'in-game' fix should anyone else encounter it.

Cheers for now, anything else, I'll post it here.
