how to replace patrician dynasty?

It might be possible with a save game editing, but will require effort and there is a big possibility of your savegame breaking.

1. First, open up your savegame (preferably with Notepad ++).

2. Look for the house of the Patrician family which just generated, (do this by searching for "liege = k_venice").

3. Once you've found it, remove the line "liege = k_venice".

4. Look for the house of Doria, which should be "b_doria". If you can find it yet extinct, there should be no holder.

5. Set holder for "b_doria", make sure it is of the same dynasty. Optionally, add that person to the history section (recommended).

6. Add the line "liege = k_venice" into the b_doria title.

7. Save and give it a go (don't forget to backup!).

Let me know how this goes.

@dekter: Do you just want a Patrician family named Doria in the Republic of Venice? If it's just a naming issue, just buy the customization pack DLC. Once a Patrician family dies out and a new family replaces it, just rename it. You'll also be able to customize their coat of arms.

I think he's wanting to roleplay a bit and have the historic family migrate. True, you could use a randomly generated family for this, but you lack the history.

The way I do this is by assassinating the new dynasty until it's destroyed over and over again until the right courtiers are pulled for the patrician family. It takes a long time and enough money that console commands are probably the fastest way. I usually keep giving myself assassination money via the console

It would be far easier just to use the kill command in the console.

Because typing those long charinfo numbers is hard.
