Patrum Scuta

Patrum Scuta is a complete emblem overhaul mod for Crusader Kings III, intended to be the successor of its namesake for CK2.

Updated for 1.18.x


- New shield frames : using different colour scheme, uniform shape between titles and dynasties. No more red overlay but a less intrusive greyed out shield frame for inactive titles.

- New banners. Based on historical design. Designed from scratch to fit the shield shapes better than vanilla.

- Extended coverage of prescripted title & dynastic arms on the map : hundreds of counties & dynasties that used randomly generated arms in vanilla now get their own designs. This also includes hundreds of historical arms for holdings in Western Europe.

- Extended use of dynamic titles : Reconquista, Sicily, the historical Outremer, Improved british isles, New plausible crusader kingdoms in Egypt, Asia Minor, etc

- Revamped CoA designer with dozens of ready to use historical base designs. Hundred of ordinaries & charges to combine : separate normal charges ready to use at 100% / small charges to use/replace/resize within multiple pieces designs.

- Improved random generation : 100% correct positions & tinctures in all cases for heraldic designs, working vair, ermine & tricolour templates; region specific designs & frequencies.

- The scope of the mod is as narrow as possible by design to keep compatibility at the highest possible. This adds nothing to the map, does not change anything related to gameplay and has no impact on performance.

Compatible with pretty much anything that's not a Total Conversion or any UI mod that modifies the 2 UI coa files. While not incompatible per se with TCs, keep in mind that this is a historical accuracy focusing mod, so it is tailored to work with the historical setup and failing to provide that, all that's left is an empty shell.

All of the mod's assets have been created & compressed using the very same method as vanilla's original set. This ensures that there's negligible impact on loading times and ram usage. Other than that, 2D graphics have little to no impact on performances.

This is an overhaul mod completely replacing one of the game's systems. As any mod of this kind, it will require a new game to work properly and it is not safe to remove from an ongoing savegame. Please don't do that.

Banners in the main menu are bugged (resume button). Not sure I want to fix that as it would mean including a modified version of the main menu in the mod with potential for breaking things on every update (just like the small county window QoL modification that I had to drop because it wasn't worth the trouble).
