    My face is very appropriate . Do you think they'd prefer a slightly fuzzy upper lip, or totally clean shaven?

    Seriously though, is there a possibility that we'll end up with a series of stereotypes, as the skinner may pick the face with the most "Celtic" or "Indian" characteristics?

    EDIT: I found one, possibly for the European face?

    Can you get some bigger pictures of their faces? those are a little small, remember a minimum of 240*300 pixels for the face area.
    Something about this size would be ideal (but this is obviously not suitable due to the helmet obscuring the face.)

    I know that France counts too many Maghrebians but in the Celtic re-enactment there is very little of them. Which photo makes you think that?

    Western steppe doesn't just mean the Sauromate and Scythians it also includes the ancestors of the Slavs hence him going in that group, I can see your argument for having him in the Northern Europe section though.

    Nice picture Zadra Pahlavan added it to the database.

    As Tux said its the EB Historians who will decide what faces to use so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

    Guys stop the spamming, it isn't helpful. If you wish to see your face in our units then at least make them fit the requierments.

    The thread has just been opened and out of all the posts there are only 2 with submissions. Also if you wish to discuss how much the genetics have changed from antiquity then make another thread.

    This is a face database thread and not a personal chat thread.
