Basic Nessassities - Happy Heraldry

Description
QUARTERING BE GONE!
Are you bothered by the cruel and unusual violence that the game inflicts upon your dynasty's Coat of Arms when someone forms a cadet branch?
Do you squint really hard when you see a massive inconsistency between pre-made houses and gameplay-generated ones?
Does the application of Euro-centric heraldic conventions across the entire world keep you up at night?

If the answer to any of the above is "yes"... then you put a lot more reasoning into it than I did!

I just wanted my CoA to be pretty! ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌

FEATURES
  • A set of Game Rules that allow you to decide how Cadet Branches generate their Coats of Arms. They can be inherited from the House Head's capital barony, they can keep the Dynastic crest, or they can generate a random design appropriate for the House Head's culture and religion (at least in game terms, don't get me started on how historical CoAs even are in many parts of the world in the first place)
  • An optional Game Rule that imposes an additional Level of Fame requirement on the creation of Cadet Branches. All credit to Neutrino! This is the exact same rule as the one included in More Game Rules.

COMPATIBILITY
  • This mod modifies the following vanilla Scripted Effects: found_cadet_house_decision_effect
  • This mod modifies the following vanilla Decision: create_cadet_branch_decision
  • As such, it is unlikely to be compatible with most mods that try to rebalance/restrict it.
  • HOWEVER, this mod does feature in-built compatibility with More Game Rules IF you place it after MGR in your load order
  • Incompatible with Ironman achievements

REQUIREMENTS
  • Crusader Kings 3, version 1.12.2.1+

RECOMMENDATIONS

Ah glad to see you working on this mod again, just found it and it fixes it fixes one of the biggest problems I have with this game, hope your work on it for 1.16 is going smoothly

Just came back from Stellaris myself - looking fwd to seeing this in action again! Lmk if I can help!

Right, okay, looks like Admin calls it from a different script entirely, so the method the mod is using to intercept the feudal houses doesn't catch it.
I'm still a bit busy with our Stellaris mods at the moment, but once the post-4.0 patches stabilise a little, I'll shift my focus to CK3 and try to catch up.

Hey, I tried this out in vanilla, and in Elder Kings II, and it seems to have issues with generating arms for Admin houses (I've had it set to random culture appropriate in both instances, and feudal houses get proper random culturally appropriate arms, but Admins still quarter in both instances).

This mod seems to be incompatible with the "Grant Cadet Branch" mod. Happy Heraldry just doesn't work with both enabled, which makes sense but, is weird because they worked fine with each other in the last patch.

when was the added rule of fame for cadets added? didnt notice it before
Bipedleek 10 May @ 7:03pm 
I think the latest update messed up the cadet coa mechanics? It's back to the annoying old checker heraldry. Admittedly I play with other coa mods like Patrum scuta so it's entirely possible they're what's causing the problem, but they haven't in the past

Huh... shockingly, Khans of the Steppe do not seem to require an update from this mod @.@ It should still be working! Please let me know if anything is broken after all.

@Aemilia: Sure! Although no promises on the ETA. I'm planning to come back to actively modding CK3 closer to AUH's release so I'll probably look into expanding this mod then.

@AlanKO: Oh... That sounds like a headache; it must be buried somewhere in events instead of the decision scripts then. Okay, I'll add it to my huge pile of things to look at later.

P.S. Habsburgs for sure were using coa of Austria after obtaining margravate although they had their own of red lion, only later displayed in quartered coas and after dissolvemnt of HRE

Hi, can you add option that ai took coa after the highest or primary title? Like i think its more prestigious and actually took place ( Jagiellonians using polish eagle as their coa)
