    A better way would be to go to your MTW main folder then campmap/startpos

    open EARLY_XL.txt and add the following text to the bottom:

    Code:
    //========================================
    //
    // Override function for the portraits..
    //
    // When this is specified the game will 
    // ignore the factions culture when 
    // locating the portrait images and
    // use this folder instead..
    //
    //========================================
    
    PortraitsOverride:: FN_IRISH	"vikings"
    #Hillary4prism

    Why didn't I think of it. Brilliant.

    Default AW: Using VI portraits in a normal campaign?

    Does this work on my current (scottish, XL) campaign, or do I have to start a new campaign?
    I prefer asking before manipulating some files...

    It works immediately, at least the first option.

    I'm going to try the second one as well (thanks Rythmic!), because I think the Spanish need the 'original' portraits.
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.
