Portrait/shield in selection screen not matching scenario ruler

I've noticed that when the culture in Provinces.csv doesn't match the culture in the scenario file, the portrait and shield in the selection screen are wrong. For instance, the County of Ani is defined as muslim culture in Provinces.csv, and Greek Orthodox in the 1066 scenario file, and the selection screen shows a round shield and arabic portrait in the selection screen, not at all like the greek face for its ruler in the scenario. Perhaps the ruler culture should be added into the header?

Let's see, testing... no, it won't accept it now.

I would be glad if we had a list of wrong portraits/shields, and if it's still the case since 1.02:

- Religion is now always considered first for the shape of CoA, so christian rulers will never get other looks.

Thanks,

Cat

I know I've seen Christian County shields for Portuguese and Castilian Muslim Sheiks in my current game. Also, Pagan High Chiefs seem to get Ducal portraits rather than Regal portraits. Some pagans - Lithuanian Pagans stick in my mind - get Christian shields, as well.

The Duke of Bosnia is listed among the counties in the 1066 scenario, with a ducal shield. Ditto for the Duke of Strymon.

In the 1066 scenario, the following have dark portraits in the selection screen but are Greek Orthodox in game:
Count of Vaspurakan
Count of Adana
Count of Amida (who has a Muslim overlord)
Count of Amisos
Count of Attaleia
Count of Dorylaion
Count of Dwin
Count of Herakleia
Count of Kaisereia
Count of Karin
Count of Koloneia
Count of Limisol
Count of Melitene
Count of Nikaea
Count of Paphlagonia
Count of Seleukeiea
Count of Sozopolis
Count of Suenik
Count of Taron
Count of Tarsos
Count of Teluch
Count of Theodosiopolis
Count of Tortosa
Count of Tyana


The following have dark portraits in the selection screen in 1066 but are Georgian Orthodox in game:
Count of Guria

The Bey of Fars is selectable in 1066 (and properly has a dark portrait), but is a Turkish Muslim.

Are you certain it's because of the mismatch of the cultures or because culture determines the CoA shape not religion (which is a bug reported already)?

It seems that Johan changed the selection screen county shields to all be Christian in 1.02. The faces in the selection screen seem to still take their information province.csv rather than anything in the scenario file. Making all faces light in the selection screen will make other problems - the King of Nubia properly has a dark face in the selection screen, and in save games you will have Arab, Persian, and Abghazian Christians that should have dark faces in the selection screen. The only way I see to correct this is to add a culture = greek or whatever line into the state definitions in the header, something that currently isn't supported.

The shield shape to religion issue in game is better in 1.02 than in 1.01. The ones I cited in my previous post are the exceptions I have seen in 1.02.
