    I actually ~really~ like that not all the portraits are idealisticly beautiful in the TW games. I do think some of the princesses are actually attractice though. It is just like real life, just because your wealthy doesn't mean you're a pearl.

    I concur with that statement 100%. Besides, as Ludens pointed out, CA was probably better off devoting their resources to other aspects of the game anyway. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for "realistic" portraits--just not at the expense of other parts of the game (AI, graphics, artwork, etc.).

    (By the way, since when did you and Miho change your portrait to one of the princesses', and why? Did you both randomly decide to go with a portrait opposite your gender just for the fun of it? )

    No, they are not. As a matter of fact, a lot of them look really deranged. Well, it fits to their V&V lists.

    Besides, back in those days for many royal families - the available gene pool was pretty small - so I think that it is probably more historically accurate that most princesess (and princes) were not all that good looking - Besides, it didn't matter so much how you looked - if your daddy was a king - then you would get attention.

    I've changed it yesterday when I started this thread. I'll probably get back to the good old barbarian diplomat 001. Grond was the first one to change his avatar to an ugly princess (or as he called her "horse-face girl") so we chose better looking ones.

    [chuckle] Yeah, that's kinda what I was wondering, but I wasn't sure. I had a feeling it wasn't coincidence you'd changed your avatar when you started this thread!

    I've kind of grown fond of my little princess and I'll keep her for a while.

    Yeah I know they were mostly ugly. I'm just saying that the game would be more aesthetically pleasing if they were better looking.

    Don't see why this would be a big deal. And after all, yes, few of the guys would be seen on a catwalk either... if it's T&A you're after, go play some Dead or Alive instead!
    Gôtt mos, Lennart.

    I agree. The number of games with unbelievably beautiful women and ridiculously muscled men is already too large. The beauty of a game lies in its engine, not in its characters.

    Yep, that is pretty much it. I changed my portrait after reading Grond's thread. I imagine that some of the princesses are worth fighting for and that princes might desire a king's younger daughter at times rather than the one offered to him.

    I recently had a princess gain ~two stars~ of valour. I imagine she kept my general in line. She survived one or two assasination attempts, I knew getting her into sports was a good idea No daughter of mine will get out of my household without being able to break an assassin's neck!

    Say, is it me, or does your princess have an unnaturally long neck?

    Is it possible to mod the princesses to work as assassins? I'm gonna order my daughters to sleep with those stupid heirs of my rivals and kill them.



    Anyway, they don't look too bad.

    Perhaps a little but the picture is looking up at her unlike Miho's portrait which is looking down at the princess.

    No I don't think that is possible -HOWEVER- it is very possible to replace the assassin image files with the princess image files. You would probably have to rename the files so they are assassin file names so that the program accepts them. This would take a while but it would be well worth it! I think I will try it when I get some time. Good idea
