[2.5.2.2] Alliance and visual bug

[Oliver*]

(OTSX) no mods
I have every DLC including unit/shield/face portraits. Although i had turned off Sunset invasion, Customization pack and ruler designer. This was in Ironman mode.

As a Duke vassal, i started a faction and declared war against my King. We both had the same allies (two Independent kings) , but they both joined him instead of staying neutral. Also in the pacts tab it still had me as an Alliance to both.

There was also a visual bug, Middle Francia should have been called Kingdom of Lotharingia (since Karlings had long stopped ruling) . And Kingdom of Lombardy hasn't had an Italian ruler yet and should have the Lombard flag.

The Middle Francia and Italy things are not bugs.

There is nothing that causes Middle Francia to flip names, and Lombardy flips to Italy the moment a non-lombard (need not be Italian) rules.

Lombardy (look at screenshots) does have a non-Italian ruler. What I'm saying is it should have the Lombard flag. Not be Lombardy with an Italian flag. And I'm not 100% sure, but once a Karling stops ruling Middle Francia, I thought an event pops up saying it's now Kingdom of Lotharingia.

Ok, I miss understood. Yes, it should have the Lombard flag, but there is a long running bug in the game where counties that flip flags (Lombardy - Italy and Avaria - Hungary/Pannoia for example) always flip to their later flag once you load the save.

Although the fact that it's still Lombardy is a bug as well as it the event "Fall of the Lombard Kingdom" should have fired the moment the king was not of Lombard culture.

As for Middle Francia, it's notable for the being the only one of {Blank] Francia's that does not have an event that flips the name.

Note though: While I am reasonably certain of the above, I have been weirdly under the weather today and a bit loopy.

It's okay. It is supposed to be Lombardy though, it's still only been ruled by Lombards.

And I wasn't sure about Lotharingia, so thanks for clearing that up.
