There are still far to many generic portraits in the game. Let's change that!
This original appeal was the starting point for this mod. However, it would have remained a small project if I hadn't been joined in my effort by two other fans of RUS:
- Jack54 who does a fantastic job creating new graphic sets.
- Aeontal who has supplied Jack and myself with huge amounts of historical portraits.
Together we have created a graphics mod which should highly improve immersion into the Russian Civil war by giving a face to ~ 150 generals.

[SIZE="4"]As of RUS version 1.03a all graphic sets in this mod have become part of the official version of the game. This mod has therefore become obsolete. I won't update it any further.[/size]
Thanks SEPRUS for honouring Jack and myself with adopting our work. We truely appreciate it.

Version 1.4.
Only a few new graphic sets this time. I have been very busy working on old portraits to get them into a form the original RUS artist can use. You can see the result in patch 1.01 for yourself as it contains a lot of beautiful new graphic sets made by Gilles Pfeifer (with a little help from me

Here is what's new in V. 1.4.:

I wanted to release a smaller update before Christmas and New Year. It focuses exclusively on Ukrainian and Polish commanders. By now there is only one Ukrainian commander left who uses the generic graphis set.

New leader graphic sets in 1.4 and 1.4a:
- POL: W. Iwaszkiewicz

- UKR: P. Bolbochan
- UKR: A. Wolf
- UKR: A. Grekov
- UKR: V. Oskilko
Version 1.5.
Jack54 has kindly given me permission to include his amazing new graphic sets into this mod. Judge for yourself, but I for one believe that he has created some of the most beautiful leader graphics in RUS. Most of the 21 new graphic sets in version 1.5. were created by him.

Version 1.6.
Again, a huge part of the work on this update has been done by Jack54. This mod wouldn't be growing at such a fast pace without his help. Version 1.6. adds 19 new leader graphic sets (11 by Jack, 8 by me).
A picture of the new graphic sets can be found in post # 81 of this thread.

- WH3: Juna-Id-Khan (I had to paint half the turban by hand in order to get a usable Army.png)
Version 1.7.
This mod is continuing to grow rapidly. We are proud to post 24 new graphic sets, getting us to a total of 93. Three factions have received major improvements: Bolshevics, Don Cossacks and Sibirian Whites. Jack has outdone himself once more and has come up with new 14 graphic sets. I added another 11.

Jack's graphic set for F.F. Abramov has been attached to the DON leader (previously it had only been used for the WHI version of that leader).
Moreover, Jack went over the older mdl files and updated them to patch 1.01b. There were some minor changes made by the developpers which don't seem to have any in game effect as far as leaders are concerned. But better to be safe than sorry.
Version 1.8.
This time around the credit goes almost entirely to Jack. He came up with another 14 new graphic sets, I added 6 which brings us to an even 20. By now this mod contains a total of 113 new graphic sets.
Also I checked the latest patch and can confirm that this mod is compatible with patch 1.02a.

Version 1.9.
Jack and I managed to create another 21 new graphic sets bringing us to a total of 134 leader graphic sets. But we are quickly running out of historic portraits - in fact by now we are working with a lot of low quality photographies. This time around you will find a lot of new WHI and POL leaders:

Version 2.0.
Adds a dozen new graphic sets:
- Kazansky
- Terpylo
- Tokmakov
- Bosch
- Karjalainen
- Slashev
- Ooy
- Suzuki
- Nishikawa
- Saito
- Nerel
- Madanin-Bek
- fixed mdl file for Sergeyev (existing graphic set was not used)
- changed G. V. Zinoviev to generic portrait. The SEPRUS team had him mistaken for G. E. Zinoviev, politburo member, head of Comintern and "dictator of Petrograd". Thanks Krot for finding this one!
Version 2.1.
As of beta patch 1.02b most of Jack's work has become part of the official patch line. This is what I hoped for from the very start: I always saw this mod as a gap-filler until the SEPRUS team either incorporated player made portraits or the original RUS artist Gilles Pfeifer had the time to make more graphic sets.
Version 2.1. of this mod removes all graphic sets that have become part of the official patches.
Enjoy!

I will however continue to incorporate his leader graphics in what is no our mod.
Note: If somebody finds a historic picture of a leader missing in this game. I will create the necessary game files. So go ahead and post what you find! To make things easier, barbu has kindly created a list of all generals in RUS still missing leader graphics (the latest update can be found in post # 83 of this thread).
