I've also made a new loading image based on Urban II's call to arms (did some copy/paste using only bits and pieces of his actual speech....




Last, for the moment, i've made a new frontend background :

Here is a third update to my CoA packs. Once again they are all for western Europe. They are mostly based on the "Heraldique Européenne" web site.
With this update, all counties up to C074 are down, plus the duchies and kingdoms they belong to (therefore, i've finished Iceland and the British Isles).

Nice as always Gigau

One question, the two Icelandic provinces now have the same COA is this correct ?

Thanks very much

Yeah, for the moment the 3 CoA for Iceland (counties and duchy) are the same... until i can find sources for the counties. I must say i didn't like the in-game ones

All CoA are open to discussion and may change if and when i find a more proper source. For example, in next update pack, i'll add a "more accurate" CoA for Perfeddwlad (thanks to Drachenfire in the Grand CoA Request Thread).

Well actually, if i'm not mistaken, Occitania is the whole south western part of France, from Nimes to the Atlantic. It is most of the french area speaking the language of Oc (or "langue d'oc", which gave Languedoc), by opposition of the language d'Oil, the frankish part of France.
So i guess Languedoc and Aquitaine are just evolution of the same notion, the language and culture of Oc.
(In fact, "oc" and "oil" both mean "yes". It was just the french seperated the two communities living in the country).

I doubt, Occitan is spoken (and contains elements of languages) from western Piedmont to Portugal, so I believe Occitania would be quite a larger area than SW France.

Let's say that Occitan belongs to the same family as Catalan, Aragonese, Castillan, Portuguese.... each evolving according to the history of the place. So like there is Catalunya, Aragon,.... Occitania is the southwest of France.

Mod and IP2

How does this mod work with the improvement pack from the Public Beta Forum (version 2)?

How does this mod work with the improvement pack from the Public Beta Forum (version 2)?

To be honest i've no idea. I guess for the graphic pack and the CoAs, there won't be any problems. As for the events, i really don't know. There might be some problems though as i have changed some traits... so there might be some incompatibilities.

Here are the CoA of Iceland as will be uploaded in UpdatePack4 (no date of upload yet) :

Duchy of Iceland - As in UpdatePack3

Vestisland : CoA of Reykjavik - The arms show the throne pillars of Ingolfr Árnarson, the first permanent settler of Iceland. After his banishment form Norway, he decided to settle in Iceland. After reaching the coast he threw his throne pillars in the sea and swore to built his home on the spot where the pillars would drift ashore. He found his pillars in the second summer in Iceland on the spot of the present Reykjavík. He thus founded the city.

Austisland : CoA of Akureyri



EDIT : According to new informations, the CoA of the duchy might change...

Problem with regency events

I'm having a problem with the regency events. They fire almost as soon as my king has gone on campaign, and then they never clear. I haven't had a mad or bed-ridden king who recovered, so I don't know if the regency clears in that case either. In the case of the king on campaign, once he gets back home no regency events seem to have fired, but still I wonder if the check has been fixed. Also, regency while on campaign should have a fairly long MTTF, since it was quite normal for Kings to be on campaign, and regency's, ala the one for King Richard, were pretty rare.

For the lack of getting rid of regency trait, i guess it's bad luck. With the way CK engine works, you can get the event right away or very late. Already had a young king several years before getting a regent.

As for the longer MTTH, i'll give it a thought... and work on that. Thanks for the advice.

I found another oddity. The event where the pope orders you to go on crusade (because you haven't yet participated): Choices A and B both have you declare war on the owner of the crusade target, which is a real pain if the target has already been captured by a Christian ruler. I had a choice between annoying the pope or declaring war on Hungary...

The crusading events are not mine. They are in my mod because i had some editing to do to make it compatible with my modified traits.

As for your problem, i had it too... like for regency event, it has to do with MTTH. Took more time for "end of crusade" event to fire than the "go to crusade" one

Nothing much to be done i'm afraid... I'll edit the event file to set MTTH of end of crusade to 6 months. I'll upload it soon after some testing.

Thanks again for the help Aardvark

Gigau's UpdatePack4​

Important : These CoA have been added to the Europe CoA metal pack, but i have put them also in an "UpdatePack4" for those who already have downloaded previous COA.


In this new pack, i've continued the work in previous pack. Went from C075 to C236, with appending duchies. This comprises France, Benelux, Spain, Portugal, plus the duchies of Genoa and of Milano.

> Duchy of Algarve
> Duchy of Almeria - the border should consist of an alternation of Castilla and León. But as during most of the time frame, the two kingdoms are seperate, i put only Castilla.
> Duchy of Artois
> Duchy of Asturias 1066
> Duchy of Asturias 1337 - CoA of the duchy upon creation in the XVIth century.

> Duchy of Badajoz
> Duchy of Bordeaux - CoA of Guyenne
> Duchy of Braganza
> Duchy of Catalunya
> Duchy of Coimbra

> Duchy of Cordoba
> Duchy of Dauphiné
> Duchy of Castilla
> Duchy of Francia - chose the CoA of the ecclesiastical peerage of Reims
> Duchy of Navarra

> Duchy of Flandres
> Duchy of Flandres - modern CoA for those who prefer that one
> Duchy of Franconia
> Duchy of Friesland
> Duchy of Galicia

> Duchy of Genoa
> Duchy of Iceland - Dry cod on gules background, used by independant Iceland at least since 1414 (crown was only added a century later)
> Duchy of Iceland - CoA of Iceland as vassal of Norway
> Duchies of Languedoc and of Toulouse
> Duchy of Lower Lorraine - had a hard time finding data for that one... and in fact failed. All i found was that lions were a common feature of all CoAs in Lower Lorraine. So i selected four lion CoA in that area. Above, i put the CoA of Godfroy de Bouillon, which previously was of Lotharingia.

> Duchy of Milano
> Duchy of Murcia
> Duchy of Orléans 1066 and 1187
> Duchy of Orléans 1337
> Duchy of Picardie

> Duchy of Poitou
> Duchy of Salamanca
> Duchy of Sevilla
> Duchy of Marca Hispanica - gave the CoA of Girona... not sure if the CoA is accurate for the CK timeframe though
> Duchy of Toledo

> Duchy of Upper Lorraine - found this CoA as that of Upper Lotharingia.
> Duchy of Valencia
> Duchy of Zaragoza
> County of Sticht - performing research, i learnt that "sticht" was in fact a dutch Prince of the Church. As the location was close enough to Utrecht, i chose that CoA
> County of Dijon

> County of Compostela - CoA of Santiago de Compostella
> County of Santiago - Strange that one city gave two CK provinces. Chose the CoA of Tui, a city of some importance at that time. Was a capital to the visigoth kingdom of Galaecia.
> alternate County of Santiago - Previously, i had chosen Vigo and made this CoA... until i learn that Vigo became a noticeable village only during the XVth century. I let it in the pack, in case some want to use it.
> County of Valencia
> County of Mertola

> County of El Bierzo
> County of Rioja
> County of Lleida
> County of Jaca
> County of Montpellier


For the duchies not shown above, they had been included in previous CoA packs.
