Help Customizing Empire (and crusade questions)

[guto8797]

Heio! Gotta say I am loving the mod thoroughly!

I am playing as Portugal, and formed a custom Empire, which I named Imperium Lusitanus (Lusitanian Empire). I would like to customise it, but I am not entirely sure how.

The Empire is named "Titular empire of Imperium Lusitanus". Can I remove the Titular Empire part somehow, resembling the name of the HRE and Byzantium?

I know how to change colour, but I am stuck in choosing one. I am thinking about the blue/white colours of the monarchy: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vL4B_0xW...0/1000px-Flag_Portugal_sea_%281830%29_svg.png , but I am not sure. Help me pick?

As for the flag, the game automatically used the Portuguese one, but I would love it if I could use this one instead: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/PortugueseFlag1750.png . What steps do I need to take?

A bit off thread, but the Crusades event just fired, and there is no Crusade. What gives?

Thanks for all and any help

The name "Imperium Lusitanum" would be better Latin. The adjective's gender should agree with the noun's.

I assume you would have to go into your savefile and add "short_name = yes" (the same line that the ERE and HRE have in the mod's files) to your custom title. I don't know whether or not editing the savefile actually would work, though, since the line is usually in the mod's landed_titles files, which obviously don't have entries for custom titles.

A bit off thread, but the Crusades event just fired, and there is no Crusade. What gives?

In this mod, the first "Crusades have started" event is just a warning, so that the player has time to prepare for the real "Crusades have started" event (with MTTH five years after the first event).

Thanks! You wouldn't know how could I change the flag, do you?

No--I'm totally ignorant of how flags coats of arms work.

I can confirm, adding short_name=yes in the save file fixes it. Hooray!

Now to pick a colour. Can't find anything regarding the COA sadly

The CoA is taken from the base_title of your dynamic title. That is, whatever your base_title's CoA is, your dynamic title's CoA will also be. Thus, if you want to change the dynamic title's CoA, you must alter the appropriate TGA file in gfx/flags/<base_title_id>.tga
