List of Houses

[User4035]

Is there a way to search for the a list of houses?

My friends last name is Bethune and there is a House de Bethune in County of Artois. I wouldn't mind playing as some of my ancestors as I'm sure many of you would like to do as well.

That one's likely randomly generated - CK2 isn't a genealogy tool, rather a game.

No, its there from the start because he's the Count of the county. For courtiers its randomly generated.

Its also based on the year in which you start because those are all historically accurate more or less. I'm just wondering if there is a list to be able to search the names of the houses that appear in the game for the designated start years(which can be any date).

You can sort them by dynasty rather than search.
Ah, I found the dynasty, although they never were counts in 1066.

go your game folder, find the folder named "common", inside that folder there's a subfolder named dynasties, within that there's a text document which holds all the dynasties in the game dosn't tell you when/if they control something though, but you can use the dynasty numbers to search through the character files to see if there's any in game characters of said dynasty.

Thanks A_Dane. Too bad the document isn't alphabetical but it will do. lol.

I also found in game you can click on 'characters' at the top and put it on 'all realms' to view every character currently alive on that particular day. Then sort by dynasty.
