Basic Nessassities – Happy Heraldry

Since All Under Heaven addresses the principal pet peeve (European-looking CoAs everywhere) that inspired this mod, I no longer have a strong reason to continue maintaining it, and it likely that I will sunset it for good at some point.
For now, I have only decided to strip it down to its most necessary functions (related to CoA appearance) in order to make it easier to keep updated.
If you are looking for the cadet-creation-related Game Rules that were removed, I recommend checking out mods that specialise in those aspects (ie. More Game Rules by Neutrino).

Old Description:

Are you bothered by the cruel and unusual violence that the game inflicts upon your dynasty’s Coat of Arms when someone forms a cadet branch?
Do you squint really hard when you see a massive inconsistency between pre-made houses and gameplay-generated ones?
Does the application of Euro-centric heraldic conventions across the entire world keep you up at night?

If the answer to any of the above is "yes"… then you put a lot more reasoning into it than I did!

I just wanted my CoA to be pretty! ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

• Localisations: Korean, German, Chinese

• A set of Game Rules that allow you to decide how Cadet Branches generate their Coats of Arms. They can be inherited from the House Head’s capital barony, they can keep the Dynastic crest, or they can generate a random design appropriate for the House Head’s culture and religion
• As of All Under Heaven, different cultures handle their CoAs differently. To avoid messing with the new templates, the funcionality of this mod is limited to cultures that have no special CoA templates (so generally the western parts of the map)

• This mod modifies the following vanilla Scripted Effects: found_cadet_house_decision_effect
• As of the 2025/11/14 update, the mod no longer modifies the Create Cadet Branch decision. As such, it should be compabile with most game rules mods.
• Compatible with achievements

• Crusader Kings 3, version 1.18.1.1+
