Hey Spartak! :)
You can find the mod dedicated specifically to you right here :D
Seriously though: great tip from you! I enjoyed bringing it to life and I’m looking forward to expanding it further. I’m excited to hear your feedback! :)

Hey @Mahler, What do you think about Army Formations Coat of Arms? There is a deprecated mod doing this but it doesnt work anymore. Thank you for the update!

Hey everyone! :)
These are some really good changes! It’s great to see that Paradox has realized the CoA editor deserves a bit of love. With some luck (fingers crossed) this mod might eventually become obsolete. I’ve updated it to version 1.12.1 so you can all use the symbols added by Paradox. I’ve added them en bloc at the end of the list, so you can easily see what’s new. And yes, many of the symbols added by Paradox will look familiar to you. :D I may sort them properly for the next update. For now I’m busy implementing all of your requested emblems. Who knows... maybe we’ll even inspire Paradox to add colored emblems, new shield types and more. That would be a dream! :)

From my testing, it's mostly working.

It won't crash the game, but you won't have the new emblems

Does it need an update? For 1.12.x version?

Hey Archiee2! :)
Yes, it is. The worst thing that can happen is that after disabling this mod you see a pink box instead of your CoA. In that case, you just need to open the Power Bloc Designer, select and edit your coat of arms. After that you can save the game with the deactivated mod. Your savegame will work fine without the mod. This way you can turn the mod on and off. There are no further complications as far as I know.

This mod is exactly what I’ve missed. Thank you so so much! May I ask if this is save game compatible?

The stars and bars esc emblem or battle flag esc emblem

Hello everyone! As announced I’ll be working on the mod again throughout December. So an update should be coming soon.

@Hesh_NC With a combination of the shield featuring the saltire (red–blue) plus the stars arranged in the shape of the saltire (white), you should get a fairly similar result. Or which Confederate States design are you referring to exactly? :)

@Vantila I’ll take a look at it over the next few days and see whether I come up with any fitting ideas. :)

Can you make one for the formations as well?

would there be any Confederate States ones?

@Jerry_Trainor I will take a look at it in the next few weeks :)
@Maririnn Sure! I will add something fitting for you alongside other new charges in early December :)

Would it be possible to have more emblems suited for Japan, China, and Korea?

Is it possible to add the ability to edit the coats of arms of any block in the game itself?

The mod has been updated for game version 1.11.0. Thanks again for pointing out the update! :)

tysm

You are right - I missed that! :D Sorry - I will update in a few seconds.

can you set the tags to 1.11 pls?

@Nae Thanks! :)
@underworldtour The mod is already updated for the most recent v. 1.10.6 :)
If you get a warning that the mod is outdated, you could unsubscribe and directly subscribe again to force steam to update the mod. If you have any oither issues, please let me know :)

pls update, thx.

my goat

@Jvr Thanks! Have fun with the update! :)
@Newo55 Good idea! I’ll add something fitting this week.

Update looks amazing! I could only suggest some more Italian flavor. I usually play Sardinia into Italy and having something like the coat of arms of the Italian Empire would be neat. Good job on the mod!

wow the new update is INSANE, great job man!

So, I’ve just uploaded version 2.0 of the mod and we’ve made another step forward. There are now colored charges (including a Habsburg eagle ;) ) which should open up many new possibilities for you. I’d be happy to hear suggestions for additional, also colored, symbols. Unfortunately I had to change how the COA editor works, so you now have to select the crown of the coat of arms (whether it’s an elephant, eagle, etc.) together with the frame. You should be able to find just about every combination. Technically there was no other way to implement it and having colored charges was very important to me so that the coats of arms of Imperial Russia and Austria can be represented accurately. The starting nations now all have corresponding and hopefully appealing designs.

Have fun! If you encounter any issues, please let me know! :)

Thanks @crazzy.ed09 for having my back :D You'll find multiple iron cross and imperial japanese map patterns in the new update.

dont listen to @EarthWorks take your time, this is a delicate beautiful mod, the best i've ever seen

update

Is it possible for you to add the double headed eagle of the Hapsburgs of Austria please? Thanks!
Currently there is only the Romanov's double headed eagle.

Possibly repeating patterns of national symbols, Like the Japanese Imperial Family's Sun, or the Iron Cross

That suggestion is great! :) I’ve already created a few patterns but after a while I wasn’t sure what else to add. Do you have any ideas for patterns? What do you have in mind? I’d be happy to include them.

I second Hass suggestion, I would really like that if its possible

Hey, great mod. Do you planning to add map patterns in the future as well? Or is it even possible?

Mod is updated and should work. If there's any unexpected behavior please let me know! :)

That's good news, mod is causing a CTD.

Update will come next week :)

plz update, and thank you

The worst thing that can happen is that after disabling this mod you see a pink box instead of your CoA.

is this save game compatible?

Hey @manuelfatjo the issue you're referring to has already been resolved by the vic3 developers in 1.9.8.

my mod is a multiplayer one, and using more than 1 mod causes d sync

@manuelfatjo What exactly do you mean, and which mod are you referring to? :) If people want my Coat of Arms in-game, they can do so without any issues alongside any other mod. Maybe it would make more sense for you to just create a collection and add both your mod and mine? :)

can i use your mod for my mod please

Hi everyone! :)
I’ve just uploaded a complete overhaul of the mod, which means there’s now a lot more content. Most importantly, you’ll now find a matching charge for each shield type. It’s no longer necessary to choose from different shield types, just pick a fitting charge.

Unfortunately, I had to change the file structure, so with this update you’ll need to recreate your coats of arms. This was a one-time necessity for the planned improving of the AI. I hope you enjoy the new version, that everything else went smoothly with the update, and I’m looking forward to your suggestions and feedback. :)

Really hyped for the update you planned if you can manage to have the AI select emblems that fit their country. It's getting tiring to see France form their 100th powerbloc with the Iron Cross emblem in vanilla

Legit added the CK3 COA customization to VIcky, powerblocs are 1000x better now

Thanks so much for all your support! Honestly, I’m a bit surprised by the success! :D This version was more of a beta or proof of concept. I wanted to try things out first, so some parts weren’t fully polished yet. Now I’m super motivated and working hard to get you the first “full version” of the mod. The Gallic rooster and Orthodox, Russian, and Eastern European symbols are of course already included :)

the fact that this mod shot up immediatly to 1st spot on most popular items this week shows how much we really wanted and needed this mod. It gets comments every day, really shows we appreciate your hard work.

Please update!
