Empires and kingdoms.

[Le Tissier]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering how i can change the title of the Kingdom of Sweden to Empire of Sweden. I was looking in the titles file in the scenarios folder and saw that Sweden was a kingdom and so was Byzantium who in the game is the Empire of Byzantium.

What should i do?

Thank you

The title of Byzantium is hardcoded to be a 'empire'.

Like Veldmaarschalk said Byzantine Empire is hardcoded to be empire. Byzantium has some unique modifiers which come to play if it's your primary title, like vassal loyalty bonus for being part of the Byzantine Empire.

If you have Deus Vult expansion, it's possible to become emperor; if your ruler is Catholic, is king of Germany, Italy and Burgundy (Holy Roman Empire) or five other kingdoms and has enough prestige. Event where pope crowns the king to emperor doesn't change the name of your kingdom, but it gives emperor trait to ruler which gives him plenty of prestige.

You can change the config/localization files so that all Kingdoms read as "Empire", but obviously this means not just Sweden will be called an Empire.

or you can change the names of the BYZA and SWED tags around so you'll have the Empire of Sweden and the Kingdom of Byzantium, but this'll have the weird effect that Greeks, Bulgarians, Armenians and (I think) Georgians will have a loyalty bonus for being vassals of the Empire of Sweden. Also, obviously, if you do this in an in-progress game you'll probably have some more weird side effects
