When Vic recently mentioned on the Explorminate interview that there is an art update in the works which he can't yet talk about, my first thought was he saw your mod and hired you on the spot.
That is interesting, i wonder if that is overhaul of all the art work or just stratagem cards?
This mods looks awesome! I hope Vic incorporates it into the full-fledged game. Part of the difficulty I have sorting through my overloaded Stratagem hands late in the game has to do with the similarities of art work as I page back and forth between all the different cards I might play.
The portraits work looks promising as well. Something about the portraits in the original game kind of shatters the immersion factor for me--I have no idea what it is, and I absolutely don't believe it's the most important part of the game, but it does rear its head for me. I think the lack of clear age differentiation is one thing I get hung up on. But, as others have suggested upthread, the similarity of facial types (e.g., all look like they're soldiers in the US army) makes 'em all blur together in my mind a little.
In a post-apocalyptic world, I think there'd be more types of hair cuts and even some tattoos, etc.! It's NOT a core part of the game, but it is a nice touch-up to the game play experience.
Card: "Bank Ally"
'Le me help you' instead of 'Let me help you'
You can actually see this card at the top of the post where you can see 3 rows of card examples in the mod.
The titles and descriptions of the cards are hard codded and only Vic (the dev) can fix them. Pymous isn't the responsible nor he can fix it, so please report it in the bug report subforum
