Dynasty shields and flags

[TheDonJorno]

When playing as an Indian ruler in CKII, I noticed that I used my Dynasty's CoA as my flag instead of the 'standard' flag assigned to the title. Wouldn't it make more sense for the lords of Westeros to also use their dynasty's CoA as their flag? And is it even possible to mod this?

Two issues here.
1) You realm would be named after your dynasty eg: The Targaryen Kingdom, The Baratheon Paramouncy, The Reyne Lordship
2) It would make all the amazing coats of arms rendered pointless.

In an ideal world, the game would pick the dynasty CoA for the family member with the highest title, and keep the "territorial" CoAs for all the other family members.

That way King Aerys of the Iron Throne has the Targaryen CoA, while Prince Rhaegar has the normal Dragonstone CoA.

Same with Joffrey (Lannister CoA) and Tywin (Westerlands CoA) at the WOT5K start, or Renly (Baratheon CoA) and Stannis (Dragonstone CoA)

And of course the realm naming after dynasties would be disabled...

Don't get me wrong, I like the territorial CoAs created for this mod, but I like the dynasty CoAs better.

Actually, this has little point in GoT, since most of the families are link to their lordship, the lordship CoAs merge with the family ones.

At the scenario start, they are. But not after you unpause the game. The whole point of the game is to enable Starks to make a bid for the Iron Throne, Boltons for Winterfell, Florents for the Reach, and so on. Making CoAs dynamic would be rewarding for the player, and also make it easier to stay in the mood of the game. I would like to see the Florent fox on the Reach coa when they succeed, or the Baratheon stag on the banners of the royal army. And when I play Boltons it annoys me that the North CoA retains the gray-white theme of the Starks, even after I win that throne. It's something that you are used to from the base CK2 game, but in the ASOIAF universe there exist only the dynastic CoAs and it would be fun to see those in the game in a dynamic fashion.

We literally can't do that unless you want the realms named after dynasty which makes no sense.

That's why I wrote "in an ideal world..." in my first post. The ideal world being one, where the Paradox devs make the dynasty-name-applies-to-realm feature moddable.
