Carolingian Dynasty Fix
Carolingian Dynasty Fix is a historical flavor mod that reworks the way Crusader Kings III represents the early Frankish royal dynasty.
In vanilla CK3, the whole lineage is broadly presented under the Karling/Carolingian identity. This works well for gameplay, but it simplifies the earlier history of the family. This mod refines that structure while preserving the original internal Karling dynasty ID for compatibility.
The dynasty is now visually organized as an Arnulfing lineage, with a Pippinid cadet house beginning with Pippin of Herstal, and a Karling/Carolingian cadet house beginning with Pippin the Short. The goal is to improve historical flavor without turning the mod into a full genealogical overhaul or breaking vanilla systems that depend on the original Karling dynasty.
Main features:
* Reframes the vanilla Karling dynasty as the Arnulfing dynasty.
* Adds a Pippinid cadet house beginning with Pippin of Herstal.
* Adds a Karling/Carolingian cadet house beginning with Pippin the Short.
* Assigns the major West Frankish, East Frankish, Lotharingian, and Bavarian Carolingian branches to the Karling/Carolingian house.
* Adds missing historical nicknames for Pippin the Short and Louis the Pious.
* Adjusts Pippin the Short’s title history to avoid anachronistic imperial representation.
* Uses Lotharingia as a gameplay abstraction for the Austrasian Frankish core.
* Adds distinct coats of arms for the Arnulfing dynasty, the Pippinid house, and the Karling/Carolingian house.
* Preserves the vanilla internal Karling dynasty structure for better compatibility.
The mod currently includes English and Spanish localization. More languages may be added in the future.
Compatibility note: this mod should be compatible with most mods that do not directly edit the same dynasty, dynasty house, character history, title history, localization, or coat of arms files related to the Karlings/Carolingians.
