About this mod

This POC config, built for Erik's Troops (Europe1100 submod), adds diversity to your troops shields and banners, with historical designs and coats of arms.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
What to expect from this config : 
  • Lords (kings, dukes, counts) have a determinate coat of arms displayed on their shield/banner.
  • Noble troops (ex : knights and squires) have random heraldic shields¹, from lower nobility.
  • Low tier troops (ex : serjeants and footmen) have more basic solid-coloured shields²
(¹) Each faction has its own heraldic designs (between 30 and 150). Nobles from a faction display coats of arms (on their shield + banner) randomly chosen among these designs. If a noble joins an army of a different culture, he will keep his own shield + banner design (if used with Raise your Banner/Carrier mod).
→ E.g. : An English knight will always carry an English shield and banner… even if he fights for Byzantines or Almoravids.

(²) Troopers have basic shields but will carry banners of the faction they fight for (if used with Raise your Banner/Carrier mod).
→ E.g. : A Castilan trooper will always keep his shield's basic design but he will carry a Frankish banner if he fights for Francia.

Additionnal notes :
  • This template works whether you are a commoner, a clan, a vassal or a ruler (existing kingdom or independant kingdom). 
  • For a more immersive gameplay, colored reticles above troops can be removed : Options / Gameplay / Set "Friendly troops banners" opacity to 0.
  • Customizing a POC config following your tastes can be tricky. Feel free to ask for support : Discord
  • I’m also open to any suggestion to improve it. So feel free to report if anything looks strange :
    • Some shields (other than yours or your companions) displaying your personal coat of arms.
    • Some shields or banners whose pattern looks messy, incomplete or inappropriate.
  • But please stop reporting :
    • All banners and shields not displaying your personal coat of arms and being randomized.
    • Low-tier troops carrying solid-coloured shields.
      ➔ That’s how it is supposed to work !!! If you don't like it, don't use it.

  • In its current state, Raise your banner is not fully compatible with this config and will mess banners randomization. However, you can use Carrier mod instead.
Installation :
  • Download here and unzip "PocColor" folder into Modules folder (Make sure to delete the previous PocColor folder if you already have one)
  • Enable "Poc Color Randomizer" in your launcher
