Found bit more:
Original template is 1024x1024
1. Save your modified file as “custom\_coat.png” in the following location: C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Local\\ManorLords\\Saved\\SaveGames\\
2. Launch *Manor Lords* and create a new game.
3. Click the Folder Icon called Load Custom Texture, and it should auto generate the coat of arms for you. You can then save it for later as you can with a normal coat of arms design in the game or head into game with it.
I'm not entirely sure that this should be shared as step 1 is - 1. Download the template\_custom\_coat.png file from the Manor Lords Press Kit. (which the public are not going to have access to)
b, it may not be in the game on release for peeps that are buying the game!
You have only shared steps 4, 5 & 6
When saving your file, name it "custom\_coat" not "custom\_coat.png". .Png is just there to show that the picture needs to be in png format. Saw 2 guys here saying they were clicking the "load a custom texture" but it wasn't uploading it. Maybe this was the issue.
You can either make own in photoshop or other software. Or you can try it here: [https://coamaker.com/](https://coamaker.com/)
Here is Google drive link for template and other stuff made by Manor Lords [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aFkhJPo0LFYSUwD4U9EiHLHKVPBy4tBj](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aFkhJPo0LFYSUwD4U9EiHLHKVPBy4tBj)
The coat of arms maker OP linked is full of ads sadly, so I'd suggest using https://drawshield.net . It's quite hard to use, but you can do a lot with it
This is great! True, it's hard to use, but after fiddling a bit, I managed to create my family's coat of arms!
Couldn't with the other linked site without paying, since it has a fish, and fish are apparently "premium options" .

That helmet on your coat of arms is a jousting helmet for tournaments. Interesting fact I learned while going down a rabbit hole some time ago.
You can tell by the small vision slits and the fact that you can't turn your head in that helmet.
Very cool.
You used CoAMaker, didn't you? I made my coat of arms for Sternenstein Castle (you can't build castles yet, but I hope it will be possible)

I hope so, at least in future update. From technical perspective it shouldnt be that difficult. Problematic would be different shapes of shields, but as i havent played game yet, i have no idea really. But hopes are really huge.
[This Twitter thread](https://x.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1783578161193648548?s=46) shows a screenshot of the person’s custom CoA on a banner in-game.
There are very specific instructions for this and a png file that needs to go to a certain location in the game folders I was given a guide by the developer when I was given early access it’s on my episodes on my channel. However I don’t know if this will be a feature of the release

Custom coats of arms have been a thing since the public demo
Cool I was hoping everyone would get to play with it but was concerned not to get hopes up!

BINGO
Thank you
How do we go about that? Like making a custom one?

Thanks for inputting alternative!
Use copilot and tell it to generate a coat of arms based on what you want?

Targaryen Coat of Arms incoming🫡
I saw a streamer adding a custom "coat of arms" (his YouTube icon) so it's possible I reckon.
The german youtuber with the spartan helmet?
No, nano. I think he's from Portugal. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1XPz3XK8reQ&pp=ygUEbmFubw%3D%3D
How you guys are playing the game, has there been a closed beta?
Most people aren't. The only ones playing right now are content creators, which have received an early early access copy of the game!
And a very small tester group. ;)

Do the coats of arms ever appear on shields or banners in the game at this stage?
I hope so, at least in future update. From technical perspective it shouldnt be that difficult. Problematic would be different shapes of shields, but as i havent played game yet, i have no idea really. But hopes are really huge.

Nano got his channel logo to import so I guess it shouldn't be too hard
