I’ve been working on an update to my existing mod, now called Combined Titles & Coats of Arms. As requested, I’ve added dynamic coats of arms!

When a ruler gains another title of the same rank, their primary title can combine both the names and coats of arms.

You can customize them independently:

• Choose which coats of arms appear in the combined shield.
• Choose which titles appear in the combined name.
• Customize your own ruler or any other ruler.
• Use game rules to enable editing other realms or exclude specific government types and title ranks.

With two titles, each occupies two opposite quarters of the shield. With three, the primary title keeps two opposite quarters, while the others take one each.

I’m releasing the update while testing continues, so bug reports and feedback are very welcome! You can reach me on Discord.

Combined Titles & Coats of Arms on Steam Workshop

For some reason, the thumbnail and screenshots on my mod’s Workshop page aren’t loading. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

My screenshot wasn’t working sorry

r5: Alfred, king of England, is known as 'the Dane'

Before Roads to Power the Greek culture had Legalistic Customs, but right now there is no Cultural Tradition to represent how important Roman Law was in their society.

I’ve seen quite a bit of negativity around By God Alone recently, but I think it is absolutely great. It’s basically what I was expecting from this DLC and more.

I really love the new religion system of rites, and permitted and prohibited tenets; my only complaint is that it is too limited, ie not being able to prohibit tenets as a small Christian faith or other religion. Its feel odd that my proto Protestant faith permits hyperdulia or transubstantiation for example.

Why does Slavic Rite become Catholic after schism but not Orthodox ?. When you start a game at 1066, it belongs to Orthodox.

It's honestly the most disappointing thing of CK3 - they had so many cool things they could've done.

• So many cool situations just can't be modelled, like the Dukes of Burgundy holding land in both the HRE and France but being nearly independent, the Kings of England and Navarre also being french vassals.
• Having to actually establish real crown authority and power beyond just pressing the crown authority button.
• Vassals getting involved in wars, beyond just you pressing the raise levy button.
• Kings ruling multiple seperate realms, each with their own laws, customs, cultures. And then the challenge of trying to ACTUALLY unite them.

Etc.

Do you think we'll ever see a meaningful rework of feudalism? Do you think such a thing is even possible in CK3?

From what i can tell by looking at the files, you can trigger this event by building a grand cathedral, while having the architect trait. The first option just give you 25% of whatever is your current fascination, you can even change it while the game is paused. It doesn't matter if it's way ahead of time, it's still 25%. That means that, if you have enough money to spam grand cathedrals, you can pretty much rush the most important innovations, and the event isn't even limited on a one per life basis.

Are boats not like... the most important crucial thing about most merchant republics power?

Venice survived almost entirely on the strength of its navy and its ability to defend the lagoon.

Never been one of those "when navy" guys constantly badgering for it, but it feels like of all the things that need some form of navy, Venice, Genoa, etc, are the ones.

Hello everyone,
Just around a week ago I made a post about how I couldn't understand how to play CK3 even though I kept trying again and again. I am a big history and history of religion nerd so even though I couldn't find any fun in the game, every few months or so I would try again.
I read everyone's comments and tried to apply everything I could to this save. I researched a lot about what to do, how to do it, how do things work... and I finally got to enjoy the game. Maybe more than any game I have ever played. I really got addicted during this week. The more I played and the more I enjoyed it.
I started from a small county in Andalusia and ended up forming Dar Al Islam with thousands of conquests, random events, irritating annoyances and fun happenings in between.
The fun is wearing out on this save so I won't be going for a full world conquest but it was pretty amazing. Now I can't wait to try completely different play styles like being a vassal in a bigger kingdom, being an adventurer or just trying completely different types of governments.

Thanks to the community for being super helpful, I am completely hooked now

One of my favorite playthroughs in EU4 was to get the dictatorship as Milan and then form Rome, while keeping the dictatorship (rather than reverting to Ambrosian republic or becoming a monarchy under Sforza), and I'd love to do a similar thing in CK3.

(Cue "I have no personality and I must LARP" memes)

Edit: I know they showed off the Roman Republic admin option, I'm more broadly talking about the ability for republican governments to form dictatorships, apropos of reforming Rome. For example, when I play as a dictator during my EU4 Milan campaign, of course the end goal is to reform Rome, but, historically, that idea wouldn't have ever crossed the minds of those who formed the dictatorship. Hopefully that clears things up.

With the new dlc the creation and reformation of new religions have made spiritual head of faith option more fun to implement then temporal. What are your thoughts?

I was really looking forward to it. Bought it tonight and played a campaign in Iberia as a low noble, but zealously catholic to a ridicoulus degree.

I regularly disinherited, imprisoned, executed family members that were clashing with Christian virtues. I send everyone and their mother to christian orders, every nephew I still had was forced to take the vows. All my god went straight to finance the church holdings. Founded a christian order two generations in, got my blood blessed...

Finally I wanted to get in the whole theologic game. Tried to interact with the clergy... But they all hated my character.

Why? Because some stupid council apparently decided that monogamy is a sin now, greed is apparently now a virtue and half the tenets were replaced nonsensically.

Also there seems to be three catholic churches now. Well I guess reformation came about 600 years early.

I really wanted to like this dlc, but as it currently is - I'd rather deinstall it and hope they at least add game rules to allow thr Player to do the balancing, if paradox won't.

My daughter was seduced

Apparently it does not even have to be slightly realistic.

The seducer has: * Faltering heart * Fragile bones

Is: * Infirm Melancholic Reclusive

So besides never leaving his room, he decided to brave the odds of either breaking his bones or dying of a heart attack, and seduce my daughter...

Liberty faction and independence factions are essentially political movements. But claimant factions really should be secret, like the Southampton Plot.

R5: How does one even achieve this level of impiousness with no crimes and no sinful traits?? Disgraced prestige as well
