Important leaders atleast should have specially made portraits imho. I know some of them have no known portrait but atleast should feel unique.

I was under the impression that the concept of AJE was to have a base game where additional content would merely expand the game scenario lists and be accessable from the same file/.exe for ease of modding, DLC, expansion installs and upgrading. Is it the end of the world? No. But I'm not following the logic of having two seperate base games requiring to two seperate install paths but that can play the same DLC content. Matrix/Slitherine has shown that games can be both expansions and/or stand alone. They did it with the Scourage of War game's latest release. You could either choose to install directly into your SoW game file or setup a seperate stand alone install. I'm not overly concerned with the price point, but the number of install directories that this series will require to play the full spectrum of the game. I'll gladly pay the same price for this content as I did for the original AJE as an expansion onto the AJE base game. Just please figure out a way to make it install into the same directory. Unless there are some sort of engine changes to game play mechanics that prevent that from happening but based on the press release that doesn't seem to be the case.
