without having seen a picture of a guy without the visor, imo you should keep it, I have a feeling it'll look a bit odd without it

I just found the empire thing curious because no one seemed to claim the HRE title.

de jure HRE is currently partitioned poland-style (hooray for ironies ) between the Tiudiskaz Reik and Slavinia, so there's no one going to bother claim the HRE title though.
edit: not Slavinia, but Francia rather...

Yeah... I had that feeling too about it. I'm working on making it "integrated" into the main structure of the helm. These are WIP anyway, so anything can be changed from here to release.

And I hardly have any good graphical skills, they're mostly vestigial ones from when I used to make websites for a living :rofl:

well, a few months ago, the only "modding skills" I had was bugging richvh to do this or that :laugh:

random question: does anyone know how to potentially prevent the AI from changing their capitals?
like changing it from the well developed county of Valentia to the petty newly conquered backwater of Barcelona, for example.
is it possible to do so by increasing the dignity of some of the more well-developed counties at the start via the landed titles?

This!

And finally, the last batch of Persian headgear (+some improvements)!

First, is the Persian Emperor tier crown. I considered MANY designs, because Sassanid emperors wore no specific crown. So I based it on the easier design on the crown of Shapur I, second emperor of the Sassanid dynasty, famous for capturing the Roman Emperor Valerian the elder.

I know, it looks unfocused and a bit low-res, I've had that thought myself. Then I realized the vanilla Western Imperial crown is a very lowres version of the reichskrone, the Imperial crown of the HRE, so I believe it is on the same level more or less. Shame I couldn't fit the big spherical thing on the character frame, but it still looks impressive and different enough from the other Imperial tier crowns.

Second is the spymaster headgear, kindly donated by Knuckey and the AGOT team (remember me to credit them). It is AGOTs Dornish spymaster headgear. Nothing particular about this, it just looked shady and distinct enough from the rest of spymaster headgears.

Fourth and fifth are the updated Marshal and nº4 Courtier headgears. On the martial one, I tried to make the facemask less like a courtain (as Riknap put it) and more like it actually was part of the helmet. For the courtier I shortened the height of the domed part and put a nifty golden... embroidery or whatever you want to call it in the lower part.

The imperial tier crown is still WIP (more or less, though I don't think I can make it look any better), but the other three are definite.

Any chance the Sphere thingy on the emperors crown could be moved a bit to the right?

at present it looks a bit wrong s:

You mean the ball on top? I can remove it, but it is barely visible. I can try moving it... but the change would be minimal.

As far as I know, the AI will try to move to as close to its de jure capital as possible (you can see this in the AFFC scenario in GoT, where Littlefinger will abandon Harrenhal to get as close to Riverrun as he can at first opportunity). I'm not sure how it works for titular titles (it may be that they're trying to get to the capital of the relevant de jure title), but if Valentia is a de jure title then it just needs Valentia set as capital.

Not sure about Judah, but Tiudiskaz Reik definitely needs to be made norsegerman_group only.

Reason about Judah was that the Romans also had a province in the same area known as Judea. Since it's now possible to customize title names per culture, I was thinking of making an alternative name for that title and others in case it gets formed by someone else.

So Judah and Jerusalem could be merged, with Jerusalem being the Frankish/Catholic name?

I think he means this highlighted part:

I really like what you've done, but the angle/perspective looks to be a bit off on the crown and the highlighted piece.

obviously they wear their crowns sideways

Aaah... I see what you meant. I'll try to fix it, should be easy enough.

Thank you

I'm completely drained today it seems, can't express my properly

But yes I like it as well, it just looks a tad off

I'm afraid I can't make it any more right than this:

Without making it any worse. If everyone is displeased with it, I'll change it. There are other more complex crowns I can do, but it'll take me some time to find an appropiate image of them to base myself on (right perspective et al).

you seem just as tired. :laugh:
they meant moving it to the viewer's right, ie. the character's left. previously, it looked like the crown was worn at a 15 degreee angle. Now it looks like 30 :laugh:

That said, iit does look good. Hopeully, you'll be able to fix it

I'm not sure how it works for titular titles (it may be that they're trying to get to the capital of the relevant de jure title), but if Valentia is a de jure title then it just needs Valentia set as capital.

the great majority of titles are titular though. and even those with de jure titles like emperors at the start aren't exempt.
it's a bummer because their capitals are usually highly developed (predefined), yet they give those away to a random courtier and take refuge in minimal-building newly conquered wrong religion/culture county :laugh:

You mean rotating it instead of moving it? Or moving angling it like I did but to the left instead? I don't really understand. :rofl:
If it's rotating it I'm afraid I can't do it.

Yes... I'm too tired. I usually do this at morning but I wanted to finish it today .

Right now it looks like the crown itself is oriented properly, but the crescent piece is stuck over his eye. What they meant is moving the crescent piece so that its centered between the eyes.

d_valencia is not one of those, however, so they'll simply try to move to k_aragon's de jure capital. Actually, the entire landed_titles probably needs to be reorganized - currently it should look like this:

_rebels = {
rebel = yes
landless = yes
primary = yes
culture = swedish
tribe = yes
color={ 0 0 0 }
color2={ 0 0 0 }
}
e_pirates = {
pirate = yes
landless = yes
primary = yes
culture = swedish
tribe = yes
color={ 0 0 0 }
color2={ 0 0 0 }
}


# RELIGIOUS HEADS

# Independent Heads #
k_arian = {
color={ 128 64 64 }
color2={ 220 220 0 }
capital = 221 # Provence
dignity = 100 # Counted as having this many more counties than it does

title = "PRESBYTER"
foa = "POPE_FOA"
short_name = yes
religion = arian

# Always exists
landless = yes

# Controls a religion
controls_religion = arian

# Cannot be held as a secondary title
primary = yes

dynasty_title_names = no # Will not be named "Seljuk", etc.

but I have to open to file in Word to get it that organized.

Yeah for me the landed_titles.txt is very crazy. It only has 300 or so lines, because everything is in a wide block. Hopefully its just SVN...?
