The right panel allows you to choose some of the character attributes of your ruler. Besides creating or randomizing a name for your dynasty, you can randomly generate a coat of arms for your dynasty and one for your primary title. As usual, you can write out one manually or randomize based on culture or faith. Keep in mind your counties will not automatically convert to whatever faith or culture you choose! In particular, if you pick an inactive culture, there will not be a Cultural head until you convert at least one county to that culture, at which point you, as the only character of that culture, will become the Cultural head. No restrictions apply-you can freely choose even extinct religions (such as Hellenism) or inactive cultures used by historical characters (such as German). Your ruler's sexual orientation can be randomly generated (as determined by the game rules on sexuality) or chosen by you. None of the options described here cost customization points (see the Attributes section below) as they are mandatory for every character. The left panel allows you to set the basic characteristics that define the ruler. Top of my head, Ayyubids, Seljuk, Ghaznavid, Bavenid, Samanid, Saffarid, etc.Essential Characteristics Like Dandolo in Venice.Īs I was making the list, couldn't help to think we need more unique CoA for those historical dynasties in Africa, Middle East, Persia, Russia, and Far East. I think Merchant Republic dynasty/houses can also spawn with their unique CoA even when not a Merchant Republic. Here's a few examples: Orsini has a duplicate Greek house in 1337. Some duplicate dynasty names will appear occassionaly that won't be the true historical house with a cool CoA. But i would say its 90% accurate if you want to get those dynasties to appear.Ĥ. I've had de Luxembourg spawn from a French lowborn for example.

The culture listed, isn't necessarily a requirement for the unique historical house to spawn.

If you play at a later start date, 1066 for example then any Dynasty I have listed as 769 or 867 only won't spawn because it's already died out.ģ. the Komnenos Dynasty doesn't exist yet, then land a few Greek lowborns and eventually you'll get it to spawn.Ģ. If you start at 769 Charlemagne date, Historical Dynasties from later dates can spawn, example.
