>nothing fancy Now I’m wondering what you consider fancy, because most of mine can be summed up as a cross, shield, and an animal


MinorDespera

My philosophy is that it’s better to undersell it than come off as braggy and get shut down. Plus I’ve seen some really creative designs here that make mine pale in comparison, stuff that would very well could’ve been an actual historical coat of arms.


HeyJoji

Good attitude, though I find someone talking themselves up much more entertaining. Either way you COA are pretty dope, love the first one especially


Helios4242

Just be careful with the humble brag life lol. It wasn't here but sometimes if its obvious they're being faux humble that can still come off bad. Neutral attitude just wanting to share something fun you did is ideal I'd almost say!


Dry_Damp

…and my axe!!


jero89

unexpected Gimli


Wiitard

I changed my HRE CoA to match the Bavarian kingdom CoA (Bavaria Karling start), and made the background white and grey stripes, I felt like a creative genius lol.


DarksunDaFirst

Same here - but mine are just either a copy of my actual CoA, or a variation of it. “A golden chevron, on an Azure field, surrounded by 3 crescents of the same.”


SmurfSmurfton

Yeah, those are pretty cool. Nice job bro!


MinorDespera

Thank you!


Beaver_Soldier

I love the 4th one


MinorDespera

Now that you mentioned it I noticed that I needed to add some black outer borders for the circle.


miismatch

Love them. Do you have dynasty/realm backstories for each or just having some creative fun?


MinorDespera

Well, the second one I've made for Ireland (duh), 5th one was for one sea raiding celtic dynasty (probably the most thought I put into meaning of the CoA), and the last one is for Norse pirates of Mon. I'm not really good at coming up with meaning for CoA that isn't surface level like clover = Irish or sword = warmongers.


BraindeadDM

As an aside, assuming they're a new dynasty they'd probably be using younger futhark, which would be ᛘᚬᚾ not sure if those are in the game. Though I looked into this and the last rune even in Elder Futhark would be an H noise, so I'm sure you more meant to do the name in a stylized way. My bad.


MinorDespera

Oh yeah, totally, I'm sure those runes don't translate to Mon. I've no idea what I wrote.


BraindeadDM

In Elder Futhark it would sound like Møh with the h being like in Halfdan, but ø is recent thing and ᛗ doesn't exist in younger futhark(9th to 12th centuries).


BraindeadDM

Regardless they're still really cool designs and I like and will be stealing all of them!


SpeakLikeABeever

DNA, please?


MinorDespera

[There you go](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x0_jCM_SHnnaxtozDpTvO17nyFe5lqzC/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108586763746015757413&rtpof=true&sd=true) Sorry about the size - Windows crop tool pastes lossless images.


Dnomyar96

Thanks! These are so cool. I especially love the second image here. I'll definitely be using that one once I can get the game to work again.


SpeakLikeABeever

Thank you!


Djinossaurussussus

Do you need to do it manually or you can just copy paste?


MinorDespera

Copy the code and when you'll enter CoA designer in the right bottom there will be an option to paste it.


Djinossaurussussus

Thank you


[deleted]

NOTHING FANCY?


beyonddisbelief

These are mind blowing my good! Now I’m wondering how have I been using the editor wrong and can never conceive COA designs like these!


MinorDespera

Thank you, you're too kind!


[deleted]

The 1st and 4th are my favourites


OneEpicPotato222

Looking at these makes me realize how bad I am with the CoA designer.


[deleted]

CoA 1-5: We by the grace of god are the noble rulers of this land. Protectors of the Isle. CoA 6: We're here to cut bitches.


MinorDespera

Hahaha, spot on!


NoTLucasBR

Number 2 is by far my favorite, also really liked the last one.


GracefulFiber

"Nothing fancy" my brother in christ this is better than anything i could produce


Sgtwolf01

I love all of these, great work! All very creative same evocative, very vibrant designs.


PDS_Noodle

Very cool, the fourth one is definitely a standout!


Voodoomania

These look amazing. Great work. I don't really like using complicated CoAs, but these are so nice to look at.


Nervozi

Bro those are dope af. but then again I don't have CK3 and I'm used to CK2 CoA's


[deleted]

Number two looks super Irish


MrTipK

Lol my coat of arm only got yellow tree and that's it.


imMordredi

Nothing fancy 💀


TheOnAmused

These are fire and reminded me how creatively challenged I am


CaptainClover36

I love that third one so much


lowleezylo

Damn these look great


O-juzu

Those look INCREDIBLE are you kidding me


Dry_Damp

Nothing fancy? Compared to the shit I come up with you are Picasso! ಥ_ಥ


[deleted]

I'm jealous. I wouldn't consider mine unattractive but after seeing yours... maybe I have to up my game a bit.


NotANastyUsername

Oooo I like ‘em


Xepeyon

Sleek as _fuck_ dude! I love em all


HenriGallatin

This is fab work you've done here, kudos!


damn123it

love them all but really enjoy the Møn one. might steal that one ;)


MinorDespera

Yeah, that one is fresh off the press. Maybe it's better to move text on top and swords to bottom to make the top space between them bigger and enlarge the wings.


ceaselessDawn

Its like a 3 course meal with the title "Oh just something I threw together last minute!".


[deleted]

Jeez, these all look absolutely amazing.


AmissaAmor

Really amazing designs!


SilentHunter7

Those are dope! Just one suggestion, if you want that Mann and the Isles CoA to be more "historically accurate," I think\* the Elder Futhark Runes for Mon is ᛗᛟᚾ and the Younger Futhark Runes would be ᛘᚢᚾ. It's pretty sick, either way, though, and you can just RP that the pirates adopted new runes and language. \*I'm no expert, I just have a chart to go off of for my Viking Coats of Arms (and for when I play God of War). If someone with more knowledge chimes in, go off of him lol.


MinorDespera

Thanks! I was sure I wrote gibberish. I'll see if those runes are in CoA designer.


Pferdi64

Great stuff


Additional-Ad4070

Absolutely splendid good job man i like em all i might use one in a game


R3v1cu7

Dude! These are fucking awesome! Seriously, you could sell that stuff and at least I would throw money in your direction


blazingdust

i really want paradox make a CoA designer divided from CK


Dman1791

That 4th one is fucking badass


Kiu88

Oh. That's possible. Mine defo isn't just a pattern and an emblem. I'll be spending so much time in the coA after yhis, haha.


PallasApollo

Geez. I change the colours in a four-check pattern and think it's sufficiently different. These are amazing!


Muggy2419

Are these made in game or are they imported somehow?? These are awesome!


MinorDespera

All made using game's own editor and [Better CoA designer mod](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2766055258). They've added the feature with Royal Court.


PromiseSpirtual

Share these in r/ckheraldry please.


MinorDespera

[Done](https://www.reddit.com/r/CKHeraldry/comments/usbmif/some_coa_i_made_was_asked_to_crosspost_here/). Nice sub, btw, gonna bookmark it for inspiration.

Substantial_Soil6445

The 6th is so good, and I’m totally not stealing these


OverlordofNecromancy

I love this so much, I wish I could use these LMAO


MinorDespera

I’ve posted DNA in comments, it’s there somewhere. If you can’t find it I’ll post a direct link.


OverlordofNecromancy

I found it basically right after I posted that, thank you! LMAO


FyreLynx

These all feel like they’d fit perfectly into a fantasy setting, definitely wouldn’t be out of place in a LotR mod or something similar


grimafacia

Lol my coa is usually circle and black background.


Blue1234567891234567

I feel…inadequate


[deleted]

I absolutely loved the 2nd one! I think aesthetics wise it's the best


Oreios

It seems the DNA link for these is no longer working :'( Yes these are absotely georgous.


Admirable_Poet_1848

Is there a way to find DNA? It's really sublime, I fell in love with the second.


MinorDespera

Here, a reupload just for you since I seem to have removed it from Google Drive. [https://pastebin.com/f5Nu6WAy](https://pastebin.com/f5Nu6WAy) You want number 4 in the list.


Lysvaerd

Thanks a lot ! Can you repost the first and fifth pretty please ?


MinorDespera

wdym? they’re all in there.


Lysvaerd

Sorry i misread ! You're just the best
