1) Why do the Suebi faction name and various titles have Umlauts in them? What are they based on - is it an official transcription?
Do they indicate pronunciation - so the second syllable in "Swëböz" is supposed to be pronounced like in "Öztürk"?
If however they are supposed to be stress or length markers, may I just point out that they are a very unfortunate choice (especially on isolated, single vowels), and accents etc. would be much more appropriate for that.
I've no idea, I'd have to ask our Germanic linguists.

No plans, but if you have ideas and the skills, by all means. If you're referring to ancillary portraits, we've changed loads of them in 2.3, though you can't see it in 2.2r.

Regardless, more 2D artists are always welcome.
