You could potentially go bigger to give yourself additional resolution, but ultimately, your graphics are going to get shrunk into a space that's 80x84 pixels. I've been using that in my mod, but I do not believe that this a requirement. The Dynasty DLC pack allots 128x128 pixels for each coat of arms. Upon completion, save your tga file in your mod's gfx/coat_of_arms directory. Lay them out in a grid that looks something like this:īear in mind that if you wish to expand this image in the future, adding rows is relatively easy, but adding columns creates coding complications that I will discuss later.

While you can create one tga file per coat, I recommend that you consolidate all the graphics into a single file. Check the provinces tutorial if you want a bit more guidance here. There are many fine graphics editors out there, and I don't want to go into the details of how to perform graphics work. You will need to create a tga-formatted image for your coat of arm(s). Replace the text within the with the text you want displayed in the load screen and the directory you just created. At the top of the /mod folder, create a new text file with the extension. This is where you'll put all the files you assemble for your customization. Within that directory, add the following subfolders: Most importantly, create a new directory in your /mod folder.

Think about the scope of the changes you want to make and begin to gather raw images you want to use to build your CoAs. This may sound obvious, but make sure you have a plan in place before you start amending files. These instructions rely on posts from Arko, enderbr, and others. This thread does not discuss how to leverage emblems and patterns to create of custom coat of arms. There are many aspects of this process that I'm not fully versed in and would certainly appreciate input from others to refine the instructions. This thread is intended on providing a concise, step-by-step procedure for assigning custom graphics as a dynasty's coat of arms.
