Do I need to dl all packs except the last two to replace all CoAs? Do these new files replace also the rather boring two color things you often see in some provinces with some real pics? Also - I dl-ed one pack (but didn't install so far) and noticed they are in 24bit, not in 8bit like those from Paradox - does it affect game speed negatively?

I think that it's necessary to reorder, to reorganize, and to reduce my packs. However, I have no idea when my work is completed. So, for the time being, I recommend you to dl all.

Because of my poor english, I can't understand what you say, especially "the rather boring two color things " and "real pics". :(

I don't know whether it affects the game speed negatively. As far as I'm concerned, I comfortably play my game with those CoA's. And there are't any complaints until now. :)
 
Thx for the answers so far :)

Well, I'm not sure how to say it better - I mean when I play CK with the original graphics there are many provinces with CoAs that show just two colors, for example purple-green, blue-green etc. Such CoAs seem to appear especially in the Middle East, while in most of Europe the CoAs look much more real and historically correct, since they also show real motifs known from medieval heraldry like eagles, lions, crosses etc.

The CoAs which show only two colors look a bit generic to me. They seem to be mostly for some counties (one I can remember was for example the county of Kerak), I have not seen them used for dukedoms or kingdoms so far. I wonder if there are other CoAs for those counties which would look better and which would show real heraldic motifs too (that I meaned by "real pics"). ;)

Thanks, I see. ;)
Some two coloured CoA's are replaced, not wholly.
Please look into Finellach's Selection Packs.

Why did you take these shields and not the original ones. Are your shields more historical correct or just more beautiful? :)

Just more beautiful than the default ones. ;)
To tell the truth, I'm particular not about how historically correct they are, but about how beautiful they look (symmetry, brightness, balance, sharpness of outlines, standardization of colours and models...).

ok so in which packages did you introduce new shields and which are with better graphics, but original shields? Because I don't want to use unhistorical shields.

The newer and better shields are in "Selections with Finellach". First of all, I recommend you to download this series. And if satisfied with them, download "Kingdom_Duchy CoA" and "County CoA" series. :)

P.S.
I have no intention to say that I don't take notice of the historical investigation. My CoA's are based on Paradox's made ones on the whole. Some CoA's are historically correct, and others might be incorrect. I'd like to leave the one who use my CoA's to decide which is correct or not.

I'm terribly sorry to have kept you waiting. :(
What does this word "copy" mean here, download trouble or something?

Months later I finally found out that your archive seems to bug with winrar and used the standard winxp archiver
:rofl:
 
Looking great! :)
