Alternate Arms for Crusader Kings 3

Updated to 1.13.2

Alternate Arms is a coat of arms mod for Crusader Kings III that takes inspiration from other coat of arms projects, like Patrum Scuta and Cats Coat of Arms. This project began as a means of porting some of the designs from those projects to the vanilla style, with the addition of some of my own designs for good measure. Rather than keep this project to myself, I've opted to release it as an optional middle ground between the two fantastic Coat of Arms mods, without abandoning the vanilla style. Though I've pieced these designs together by hand using only vanilla assets, many of the designs find their origin with those two mods.

In addition to some of the in-game arms, I've also played with arms generation, hopefully fixing some of the stranger and less appealing designs from spawning naturally in game.

My plan for the future of this project is to maintain it so long as I keep playing Crusader Kings III regularly.

This is a work-in-progress project done by a community member with my own taste and blind-spots. Community suggestions, especially for alterations to arms or for ideas for different designs to better align with history or continuity, will always be welcome.

I hope you enjoy this mod, and please let me know if anything is broken
