Has anyone successfully changed portraits??

A very serious problem, yes. I'm not very optimistic that this one can be fixed though. Gah!

Yep, and as Carthage also shares its 2D building graphics with the Eastern culture that means we only have in effect 5 distinct cultures to work with which will limit some mods to just 5 factions where "very-similarly-cultured" factions do not exist.

It is indeed a horrible fact. I'm not hopeful BI will resolve it, if anything there will be less diversity.

I cannot seem to get the vanilla BI faction portraits that draw off the old r:tw cultures to stop displaying even when I have modified them.

I have unpacked everything and copied the UI folder to the rome data folder. I have played around with the Barbarian portraits, cards etc. but the game still draws off the packs.

Renaming ui_0.pak and/or ui_0.pak or changing the 0 and 1 all just cause CTDs.

That doesn't sound good. I've not touched portraits in a while, but we will have to again soon (1.5 that is, not BI). I hope someone will reply here who has had some luck or experience with this. Please keep us informed if you do have success (or failure even).
