Another portrait pack adding a large variety of new faces. This pack, however, has gotten a bit more backlash for having portraits that are either inaccurate or that are being used in certain areas that they don't belong to. This also replaces some of the Mediterranean Portraits from another pack somewhat devaluing the worth of that one. This add nothing to the gameplay and is just for the visuals and your immersion. It is somewhat pricey at $2, it is better to buy them when they are on sale. A pack containing all of the portraits and unit packs would be nice for those interested. If you are only interested in content adding more gameplay elements, or your games don't often take you to the parts of the world that a portrait pack focuses on then you will want to save your money for something else.

Once again Paradox releases a new portrait set that is the ultimate addition for true fans of the game. For most this expansion may seem very unnecessary but when you want to be the next Cesar you truely need this. It turns those simple white faces into more conquests for you to make both in war and in bed. What I truly love about these packs is that it lets me see if my child was a bastard or not. When you see your baby and see him a different color of brown you cant help but try to find his true origin. If my wife was unfaithful I guess it's time to show her the dungeon. This is a pretty important expansion if you love CK2 for the role playing aspects.
