Heraldry [Mod Component]

**Solo** · 11-22-2006, 18:26

Since most of the emblems used ingame aren't even close to the historical ones (or at least the best choices for whole medieval era), I've planned to adapt my crusader kings mod to M2TW. As this is not really a mod by itself, I intend to release it as a base, usable by anyone in their mod. Obviously no way to test ingame for now so it's only a preview of what it should look like (a few details aren't definitive, like the outline difference between lion and eagle for example) in the diplomatic overview.

Like I do for the name patterns, I'll try to include some additional factions (thats why Bohemia is included in the preview). Still not sure what device/emblem I'll use for eastern factions.

That is a good idea Solo with alot of potential and of great use to historical modifications, I encourage your work to continue upon the patch release.

Hmm, im trying to work out which symbol goes for which faction. My guesses are:

Poland, HRE, Sicily, Bohemia, Castille, Milan, Byzantium, France, England, Denmark, Scotland.

@Lusted
Third one is Hungary. Other than that, you got all of them :)

A few additions, but I'm still trying to figure something for eastern factions (I'm trying some banners but vector art don't work great for that).

Papacy, Portugal, Sicile, Genoa, Ireland, Venise, Moskow.
Bohemia, France, Russia, Lithuania, Sweden, Norway, Finland.

Papacy colours aren't the most common historically but these are better for gameplay (imo).
Sicile is 13th c., I'll include Hauteville as an alternate.
Genoa is an alternate for Milan too (historical banner), so it fits very well this faction slot.
Venise has alternate colours.
Moskow is an alternate for Russia, I have no idea what Novgorod arms could be (have to check).
Bohemia and France are just reworked versions.
Russia is the 15th c. emblem, obviously nothing before.

@Methoz
About the banners, I cant do anything before we got the unpacker. Until then I don't know their size, format and what can be modified.
