Europe Heraldry Historisation Project
Hi! I use the vanilla CoA creator tool to add to the game the real heraldry of Europe. I do researches and look for the most accurate arms for every title from baronies to empires. If possible, I choose the most historically accurate one. Above all my goal is to add realism, aesthetic and diversity to the gameplay and to avoid all similar simplified or generated vanilla arms. Sometimes, if appropriate, I leave the vanilla CoAs unchanged.
MOD CONTENT
– England, Scotland, Wales
– Ireland
– Poland
– Denmark
– France
– Holy Roman Empire
– Italy
– Croatia
– Hungary
– Lithuania
– Galicia Volhynia
– Sweden
– White Rus and Ruthenia
– Moldavia
– Wallachia* (this was challenging. Romania usually haven’t got medieval heraldry in most cases. Still, all arms are based on the real ones, although I sometimes changed them slightly to make them fit and look nice)
– more content in the next update
700+ counties total by now
– occasionally only counties, duchies & kingdoms coats of arms in Vladimir & Novgorod
– occasionally significant dynasties
– Norway & Finland – only counties. It was only drafts but i still decided to release it because i don’t know when/ if i’ll be able to work on my mod as seriously as i used to. so here you might see some modern arms but overall i think it’s fine. maybe the last update. maybe not.
COMPATIBILITY
The mod is Ironman-compatible. Compatibility with other mods depends. If the other mod changes the European part of the map significantly, my mod may not work or may include not all of my arms.
If you find any issue let me know
USAGE
You can integrate my mod or use it for your projects and I don’t mind but I would just ask you to leave a link or mention of authorship or whatever 🙂
P.S. disclaimer: It is impossible for every title to have exclusively period-accurate arms, because: 1) Real heraldry developed slowly and there might not be any sources describing arms of the places that were created earlier then (very often) 16-17th centuries. 2) Some places that’re present in the game may not even have any coats of arms (if so, I use the arms of the nearest place).
But still, if possible I choose for my mod the oldest symbols. The mod isn’t flawless. However, if you’ve a nice idea how to make CoAs more historical (or any other good idea for my mod) you can let me know! <3
