Better European Coats of Arms

1.5.0.1 COMPATIBLE

Adds more interesting and more accurate coats of arms to various European dynasties and titles (521 additional unique gfx files have been added, many of which are used many times) as well as a few more accurate names and a couple of new coat of arms designs. I’ve done my best to find historically accurate designs, however if I couldn’t find anything I simply went with historically authentic. When I stop being slack I’ll add all the new coat of arms designs to the cultural CoA lists so they’re are fully modular and will appear as randomised coats of arms for emergent dynasties in different colours.

Strongly recommend using the Adopt Landed Coat of Arms mod.
