Only the CoA's of the first level of vassals are shown. That means you need to be a direct vassal of the top liege.
In this case, you are a count, vassal of a duke, who at his turn is a vassal of the king. Therefore only the duke's CoA is shown on the map. If the duke becomes independent, you will be a first level vassal, and your CoA will be shown as well.

I understand that but I think it will make sense to have it appearing especially if it the county you play.
It would be reasonable for the county of the player to appear, but if all the counties appeared on the map it could become enormously confusing.
I find it a lot more confusing the way it is now to be honest, as I need to hover over every province to see if it's directly controlled by a duke or by a lesser ruler in the popup.
I modded the demo so every ruler was a vassal to the king of England so they all appeared on the map: It looked a lot better and makes the map useful again.
I hope the game gets at least an option to toggle it on and off if Paradox doesn't want to make it the default option.

yep. and accessing directly from the coa to the county interface was practical. and I love all those CoAs everywhere as it represents the variety and multitude of ownerships.
That's a bad idea for the king of england. This way any dukes will want their de jure vassals back, and will plot and continually demand this, lowering their relations with the king, and destabilising the kingdom.
I would also prefer it if they were also show on map... at least as a possible map overlay.
I find the current method more confuse to be honest, as in CK1 one would just have to click the county shields and that was IMO easier.

I agree, now you are somehow forced to use the diplomatic relations mapmode if you don't want to klick through the counties to know if they are directly ruled by you or not.
I currently trying to find a way to mod this.
No luck so far, I can't find what triggers the appearance of COAs on the map. I've found out a way to change their size though.

It's probably hardcoded. I couldn't find anything to change it in the moddable files either.
I miss the CK1 style CoA placement as well...the game looks fantastic as it is but finding a way to bring them back would be the icing on the cake!
Have fun

I haven't *quite* given up yet on the possibility of modding, but it's looking sort of grim.
agreed. I was also pretty shocked and disappointed with this 'feature'.
I have to sadly announce that I'm 99% sure that it is indeed impossible. I went through every last d**n file, nothing. I went through all the interface files (mapitems, mapicons etc) and didn't find anything that seemed to toggle coas. I did notice something about "show_barony_coa_only" in the religion.txt file, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
CKII is great, but I hate how empty the map looks and how you have no way of knowing how a vassalised Duke is divided without getting carpal-tunnel by clicking on every frikkin fief.

Or you can click the duke's character portrait, click vassals, and look at his vassal names/mouse over their COAs.
Well I was talking more about the map, being able to see exactly where the vassals are physically located without having to click fifty times.
this inhability to see crystal clear what's where and who is who and endlessly spamming new construction jobs really hurt my hands after a couple of hrs.
