This wouldn't require new coats to be made.Īlso, themendios - '30 years after its time in the 13th century'? Correct me if I am wrong, but 1066 is in the 11th century. That seems to be what happened quite often in the middle ages - even the coat of Eastern Rome (Byzantium) changed when a new dynasty took over. This isn't even an issue that needs (needed) a lot of research, the Norman Conquest is a well known event, and the effects of it are also well known.Īlternatively, when a Kingdom is conquered by a Duchy or Count, have the Kingdom use that Duchy or Count's coat until someone else conquers it. The change in the Coat of Arms reflected the complete change of English government after the Conquest. It is less an issue of 'inaccurate coat of arms', and more of 'this makes absolutely no sense'. It wasn't a mere by 1200, The Burgrave of Nuremburg could be King of England - that coat only existed after William's conquest - the Saxons never would have used it as they weren't Normans. The Norman Conquest was a huge event, though.

Even if they tried to get it 'right' there's always gonna be somebody who thinks it's wrong - not like we have great record sfrom the 11th century. I'm not saying they can just wing it but seriously is the tag line of this going to be that it's the perfectly accurate historical simulator? Seems like wasted effort since by that time Germany could own England, it's not like the game is deterministic. Do you realize the amount of manpower involved in poring over every historical lineage over 400 years? I'm amazed if it's mostly right on a game development budget and not a research grant. Not to pick on you in particular but why are we so worried about this? I'd rather they spend the time modularizing and making moddable as much as they can and/or playtesting than worrying about 1 of hundreds of CoAs being 30 years after its time in the 13th century in a single beta screenshot.

I'm sure it has since I see threads about inaccurate CoAs or what patronyms for x guy in a screenshot should be a lot.
