Roman Champion Cavalry Portrait

There might be a few other portraits with this issue. Another issue I'd like to address sometime is the sheer number of body textures specified per unit actor. Hurts visual recognition. I'd like to reduce their number in each actor to a maximum of 5 to create more visual consistency for each unit while still having some good randomization.

I think it helps to stick to a color scheme, for example, if it had metal armor, a unit has either bronze colored or iron/silver colored armor. If it has linothorax, then it has either white or brown colored linothorax etc. Then it is possible to have a high variation but also be easy to recognize

@wowgetoffyourcellphone probably made the icon before the texture changed. If they are more like this you might make a ticket.

Athenian cavalry javelineer portrait has a linothorax texture different than the ones used but it still represents the unit well.

Gaul champion swordsman portrait has a different linothorax (simpler) than used by the unit (more colorful). Not sure about impact on recognizability (i checked, this word exists in the dictionary).

Also, Gaul javelinists and slingers are sporting tattoos in portraits which they are missing in-game (i guess they fashion temporary tattoos for the photoshoot).

Macedonian Argyraspides portrait has laurel leaves on the helmet which are missing in-game.

Persion champion spearman portrait is different than the armor used in-game.

Seleucid infantry javelineer has a different shield in portrait than in-game.

Has the Seleucid cavalry javelineer portrait been updated to not have the duplicate Achaemenid Persian counterpart?

Also the Dahae horse-archer to distinguish with said counterpart now called "Parthian".
