My little critique of the some coat of arms in CK3

Posted: 11 Jan 2021 04:12 AM PST

I want to start by saying that since CK3 starts in 9th and 10th century, a time when heraldry either did not exist or was not properly established, I understand that they must attribute a lot of arms, and that is fine. But their logic sometimes makes no sense to me.

I will begin in my home region of the Balkans, and move on from there, I might go over other regions of Europe in another post.

Dyrrachion was a theme in ERE, as such it had no CoA as ERE did not know heraldry until the Frankokratia period. Still...

I assume their inspiration for the CoA were the arms of House Thopia, a family which ruled central Albania, it's nice. And CoA for the county of Dyrrachion is a gold eagle on a blue shield, akin to other Albanian houses like Muzakas, Djukadinis, Kastriots etc.

Attributed CoA of the Vojislavljevic dynasty

Duklja did not have a CoA until 1350s, however the golden horizontal stripe on a red shield has been the attributed arms of Duklja, and such it really came to represent the region, so good job on this one. One thing is that for the country of Duklja, they chose a black crescent on a gold shield, were as in CK2 the had a white wolf head, a CoA from 1350s I mentioned. They should have went with that!

Again this CoA only appeared much much later after the start date of CK3, however it was the only CoA Ragusa has ever known, so good job on this one

Dalmatia, again, same story, they changed the traditional field from blue to red, but its okay they are attributing arms after all.

So this CoA appears for the first time in an armorial from 1600s, obviously it's no problem. Same story for Istria.

Again, a CoA of a much latter date, but still the legendary symbol of Bosnia, it's great. They changed the field to red, I assume the creatable Kingdom of Bosnia has a blue field.

Now we have some problems...

First of all, let me say that this CoA looks SICK, however I struggle to understand why exactly did they opt for this one when Rascia had an attributed CoA, similar in style to this, just with different charges, 3 white horseshoes on a blue shield

One's more, this exact blue shield is the CoA of the county of Rashka! surely they could have used this gold/black configuration for the county, and blue for the duchy! I hope they fix this, but I'm not complaining as this CoA is S I C K.

That's better, nothing to add here, HOWEVER, since Poland and like a billion other titles use this configuration, why didn't they invert the colors?

Original Serbian CoA had a red eagle on a white field, it's more distinct and it helps to differentiate it from all other white on red CoAs. They could have also used this specific style/blazon, to shake it up a little.

This is fine, and I understand that this configuration is legendary and all, but, first ever recorded Bulgarian CoA was a single white lion rampant, on a black shield. Mabye they could have went with that to shake it up a little.

Well I guess this will do

Syrmia or Srem did not have a CoA until basically EU4 era, however I would suggest using a single crown at the top of the shield, and adding a deer passant, as that is found on later CoAs of Syrmia.

Definitely don't copy this, but just use one of these symbols, mabye ever 3 crowns and white/blue waves underneath. Right now it looks too much like Sweden.

Also paradox wtf is up with these 1 provinces duchies? cut a few counties from Slavonia and transfer them to Syrmia

Paradox.. you had one fucking job..

White star and the current configuration of Croatia, is a perfectly fine attribution of arms for a Balkan region, as the star is a common symbol in later Illyrian armorials, however please for the love of God, exchange these two, this is a sacrilege

Great, great and great.

All of these are traditionally associated with these regions, some a bit later after CK3 start date, but that's unimportant.

CoA looks great but I struggle to understand why did they opt to use the Gold/Red color scheme. It's a color traditionally associated with Moldavia

Why not use the standard color scheme with the later Vlach CoA, black eagle, white shield, add a little cross next to it, or don't. either way It would break the monotony of the region.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this...

Pretty cool, didn't think they would include this. All hail the flaming birb

Why?

Why? CoA of Constantinople in CK2 was much better. A crescent, or crescents on a tentagram cross, was a symbol, quite literally and possibly used as the offical seal of the city for centuries. What is this, alt history Breton byzantium? Really strange choice.

My proposal, use it!

Well I guess that's all for now.. all in all I'm happy with the CoA, but some choices really irks me!

Posted: 11 Jan 2021 09:58 AM PST

I've seen people saying they think CK3 is way easier than CK2 and, honestly, I don't understand this take. CK2 had waaaaay more exploitable mechanics (mercenaries and societies, for instance) and, at least in my experience, it was easier to gain "mana" (gold, prestige, piety). Also, the easy access to primogeniture would basicaly ensure a tranquil succession, which doesn't happen in CK3 -- in my experience. What do you guys think?

Am I misjudging it, or do Legacies feel like a very weak use of Renown compared to Disinherit?

Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:56 AM PST

They give such useless and/or tiny modifiers while costing a whole ton of Renown.

For the same amount (or often much less) Renown, you can basically ignore Gavelkind and always have your best heir inheriting your whole realm. Feels like such a stronger use that it seems like a no-brainer to me.

I think I didn't even actually pick a single Legacy once, so I might be completely misjudging it and am open to read about that.
