This is all just a guess mind, it might be complete rubbish...
I went to early heroes and changed the -1 and every other number too, but the portrait wouldn't change. His name however did, to Ismail and to Yusuf later on. The first number will change his name, but the spot designated for the portrait number will not change the portrait when I change the number. It might be a question of subdirectories, but I figure it should change it to something else, even if it's not what I want, when I change the number. Yet it always stays the same.

I don't want to change the entire portrait set for the Almoravids, because I like the one they have. I just want their starting King to have a black portrait. I've tried making new famous kings and shuffling every number around under the Almoravid famous kings section in Early heroes, but I get no changes. I'm assuming then, that they don't start with a famous king, but when I change the first number of SetStartLeader in Super Early startpos (which is suppose to coordinate with which famous king they start with) nothing changes. I'm baffled.
