Updated for 1.12.10.

Hello @laceleste. Really fine. Hope you too. I am pretty sure you don't need to care about the load order. Just subscribe to all, it is 100 percent compatible. Only Historical Portraits share files with Expert AI 4.0, and it's why it's only compatible if you use this compatibility submod. Both submods "more leaders" and ''leaders replacement events" don't share any file (so they are fully compatible).
Note that Historical National Focus Dates is not compatible with Expert AI 4.0.

Oh, forgot and the Historical Portraits [submod]

Scotvince, hope you're doing fine.
Please remind me again in what order should I load Expert AI, this submode and Historical Portraits original mod for the best functionality?

Updated for 1.12.5.

Avanti guys! The update 1.12.3 is live.

Hi !

THE 5th YEAR ANNIVERSARY UPDATE of Historical Portraits is live since last friday!
A little before the 1st july.

This anniversary update marks a significant increase in the number of photos (patchnote is here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/960885363/ )
The many updates (355) since the birth of the mod, then of its main sub-mod "more leaders" (40) in April 2020 have been the result of more than 1500 hours of work at least (research, coding, corrections, additions of content over the course of the evolution of the game and the requests of the players, etc).
It takes a lot of time to find photos, work on them and add their codes to the files, especially for advisors...

...My other two major mods, Historical National Focus Dates and Historical Speeches and Songs Decisions, and like the other mods (like "Historical Leaders Replacement Events [submod]") also required a lot of coding learning (I started from zero and quite simply hours of work. So far I have had to put in a lot of effort, always with passion and concern for perfectionism. Historical Portraits is my darling baby. I intend to continue working on it (and also on Historical National Focus Dates). Because the game will still evolve thanks to Paradox Interactive, and I will therefore have to add photos. This will start with the addition of content with the release of the next DLC "By Blood Alone" (Italy, Switzerland, Ethiopia)...

...That's why the 5 year update comes with a donation system, a "Buy me a cofee" button (Paypal link http://paypal.me/scotvincemodding ) visible at the bottom of the presentation page. For a good coffee and hours of concentration! Your financial support will be used to buy the next DLCs!
These gifts can be seen essentially as a gratification for the work already done in 5 years on Historical Portraits and also the other mods in "A collection of historical mods" ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails /?id=1730953972).


Thank you for your support and your help sometimes over these 5 years.


See you!

Updated for 1.11.8

Thanks, I will experiment with it.

Whatever the order. This submod is a dependency of both and its common files will function instead of others.

Scotvince, in what order is this mod supposed to be uploded?
Do I have Exper AI first, then the regular historical portraits mod (as you are ment to use this one along the original) and thirdly this one?
Or in any other order?

Updated.

An update will arrive soon, for the last update of Expert AI 4.0.

Sweet

Updated for 1.10.1 and the last version of Expert AI 4.0.

Thank you. keep an eye on Historical Portraits [submod] - more leaders it will increase content regulary. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2051666898 That turns at well, somebody just suggested historical leaders of the middle asia countries.

Ok, it's working as intended then.
At least some nations that I regularly encounter i my plays have unique leaders, that's better than vanilla.
I appreciate you effort to make your mods compatible with Expert AI as much as possible.
Keep up the good work!

Do you use the custom game rules at start of the game to decolonize and fragmant continets and countries? > NO.
In what order do you activate the mods? > whatever order
Do you have anything else turned on or any other tweeks? > other mod that don't touch the same files as my mods.

The question is Ukraine and Bielorussia have my portraits ?

"Still doesn't work Uzb, Tms, Taj, Kyr and Mol still generic leaders." That is normal.

Still doesn't work Uzb, Tms, Taj, Kyr and Mol still generic leaders.

Please tell me exactly how you go about releasing the nations?

Hello I have just checked. Try to use only Historical Portraits, Historical Portraits [submod]more leaders, Expert AI and my compatibility patch.

Tried it and it got worse now Blr & Ukr don't get unique leaders either.

You say it's all good on your end?
Then I should be able to recreate it on my end.
Please tell me exactly how you set it up and I'm going to copy that.

Try to use Historical Portraits, Historical Potraits [submod] - more leaders, Expert AI and my compatibility patch. And see if the estonian communist leader is generic or historical.

Estonia communist leader is "Nikolai Karotamm". He is in the submod - more leaders now.
For all other countries, I have no idea; I don't remind that they had historical leaders.
Same reason for 90% of releasable african countries, they have fake leaders or randomly generated ones.
Maybe you used one day the mod "Every Country a leader", which is giving more leaders for africa?
For South Africa, it's weird. All leaders photographies appears in my game. Could you give me the names of these leaders who are bugged for you?

Fair enough but a few patches ago they had unique leaders (although fake) they were not generic ones like now.
And it doesn't explain why Est doesn't get a communist leader but Lat and Lit do.
I also tested the historical Portraits mod by itself (without expert ai and Historical Portraits & Expert AI: compatibility submod) and got the same result.

If it's any help for you in finding the problem, I spotted another bug, when decolonizing Africa most African countires get generic pictures, even South Africa, that in the Vanilla game gets a unique one.

Nothing else. I give you the explanation on the last message. Mol, Uzb, Tms, Taj and Kyr have fake leaders.

Now I get portraits for tags Lat & Lit but still only genrics for Mol, Uzb, Tms, Taj and Kyr.
Before testing I cleared the user directive.

Just to be clear, I should have the original historical portraits mod; https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=960885363&searchtext=historical+portraits
and this one; https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1880087214&searchtext=historical+portraits
turned on, nothing else right?

Updated. The only differencies that I was betwen Historical Portraits/HP submod and Expert Ai were the history/countries files.txt.

I made this compatibility submod a dependenciy of Hp, Expert AI and now the submod more leaders. I don't know if it will work. If not, I have no solution, i'll deleted the new dependency and this submod won't take in count the submod of HP.

@interbastian I understood why you have generic portraits; It's because they are fake leaders! Historical Portraits will not "loose" content from the last versions of the game. And it will not eplace them. It's now the purpose of its sub-mod. The submod is in built, at 99% from the help ofthe players who are suggesting historical leaders for replacing these fakes ones. I have no doubt that, one day, leaders of the new releasable sovietic countries will be historical with their unique photos.

@interbastian Hello. Thank you for your report. I am fixing all these issues. Of course, these problem came with the 1.9.1 update with new countries files. I will update it as soon as possible this morning.

Just read in the dicription that you latest historical portrait more leaders mod is incompatible with expert ai, so it shouldn't work, that's in order, but still in my test the problems I encountered arouse when using the correct combination of mods too.

Hello Scotvince, hope you're alright.
I can't get this you great mods to work properly anymore.
I have tested to this mod along with expert ai and you original historical portrait mod and then with your latest more leaders submod too.

When playing the Soviet Union I used to be able to release all "occupied territories" and they would all have their unique historical accuarte leader.
Now I only get that for Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbadjan and Kazakstan.
Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tadjikistan and Kirgisitan only gets generic leaders no matter how I combine you mods with expert ai.
When I puppet Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania plus create Moldovan SSR I only get generic leaders too.
Two or three patches ago, I used to get historically accurate unique leaders for all these nations.

When you have time to spare, please look over these issues, see what you can do to fix it.
I love you mods they really add immersion to the game. Keep up the great work, gl!
