Dirty Little Secret?

[Embis]

Honestly, old portraits have always looked a bit odd to me. The faces on those portraits just look weird and unnatural. Like, come on, do these graphics really look that much better than top down ones?

Top down graphics have at least streamlined it in my opinion. Unit counters look more crisp and map itself is obviously much better.

Can't argue with those examples! This has really split the community and sadly driven some people away. I really loved Ritchies top down mod when it first came out. My views have shifted a bit since then there are some bits of that better better than others. I love the vehicle top down views on the whole, I am less keen on the infantry and leader graphics. I accept that not everyone shares my view.

For me to be happy someone who has the artistic skills to redo some/many of the portraits would be ideal. I would love to see the improved portraits that  Xerxes77  has been working on for Spanish Civil war. 

I would want to keep all the improvements to the terrain graphics, they look great, and I think that's one area where we have probably got a consensus.
