Bump, there has to be someone who has come across this problem before . . .

PortraitIndex always refers to both IconAtlas and AlphaIconAtlas.
Since you set PortraitIndex = 6, the game will never find an alpha image for the civ because the only image in the alpha atlas file is on position 0.
Change your alpha atlas to have more (perhaps empty) image slots or change your civ atlas to match up with the alpha atlas...

Huh, that is very interesting to know..
Would've been nice if that was documented somewhere in one of the various guides.
I guess I lucked out there since my Civ icon, being the first icon I made, was always set to position 0. It made little sense to me why Firaxis didn't supply a separate portrait index column for the alpha icon.

I, too, did it correct every time, by accident 
Searched for the alphaportraitindex now just to see it doesn't exist.

Yes, that's it!
Thing is, there's no custom icon atlas yet since not all icons are finished, which is why The Mayans' icons were used. Should've known this, though. Never crossed my mind.

Hurrah!
So there was something fundamentally wrong with the code, though this is a pitfall that I would've thought people would put in various guides ^^
DarkScythe, Belzhorash, you will be given a mention in the credits for discovering the source of this huge bug, I'm guessing the same problem occurred with my Oliver Cromwell's England, so thanks so much!
All I need now is the LH, which davey is kindly working on

Belzhorash, could you provide me with a link to a list of your mods? I'd like to put it on my cromwell/olmec mod pages.

That's way too much "honor", but here you go:

It's the only mod that became public.
