Would You Rather See Real Pics On General Portraits (and what not) or Just Artwork

if CA uses real people for the portraits it could be nice.


btw would it be nice if the General looks like his portrait?

I don't think it matters, it would be nice. It would be hard for me to figure out who was who?

I like the artwork - the RTW portraits are pretty good. I find it easier to get into character with artwork rather than photos. And photos might break the suspension of disbelief when inevitably the computer graphics elsewhere are not comparable. Moreover, few modern models would be convincing as Ancient or Medieval types. (Although having just watched the re-run of "I, Claudius", the cast of that show were pretty convincing.)

Artwork.
Having real pics would look crappy IMO, almost a low budget feeling over it.

It's already confirmed from screenshots it's the same style as RTW portraits, and I like it that way. Enough variety and interesting shots I suppose.

Yes, artwork. It gives the artists a bit of enjoyment amidst all the 128x128 ghastly-fuschia blocks
