Hey folks!

Medieval 2 is growing in scope and content, and one of the mechanics we plan to add is called Heraldy.

Heraldy is essentially represented with a set of structures and items that have customizable colors and symbols, allowing you to create your own coat of arms.

When selecting a heraldic object, you can press a special button to access the customization screen. In there, you can select one of the available patterns, as well as the colors and a symbol.

The heraldic objects are as follows:

Tabard - Apparel that provides no protection but can have customizable symbol. It can be equipped on top of any other apparel, including outer layer armors.

Standard - A held large item with the coat of arms displayed on it. Provides moderate buffs to nearby colonists in the form of an ability similar to combat command.

Rug - A large, decorative heraldic rug with the symbol displayed in the middle of it. There are three variants: Grand, which is bigger than the biggest table, Large, which is a 4x4 one, and Long, which is a 3x1 one.

Standing Banner - A large, standing banner displaying the heraldy.

Since you're my Patrons, I think it's only proper if I ask you for ideas for actual symbols. This is your chance to have your favourite symbol in the mod, and you'll be able to equip it as your coat of arms!

Now, I will of course RimWorldify these, which means that if you ask for biblically accurate spaghetti monster, I will draw a simple meal with some pasta on it, because we want to make sure it still fits the RimWorld universe.

So, go ahead and write what sort of symbol you'd like to see. Lets limit it to one submission per person. If you attach a link to some photo - that's even better!

Brotherhood of Steel logo. It looks pretty medieval but still works for space age later on.

Test

The skull and Cog of the mechanicus

Brad Richling

Skull & Crossbones, pirate style Rearing Lion Wild Boar Head

The Dragonborn

My ACTUAL ancestral family crest is an open mouthed snake head with vertical sword behind it Kinda like a snake head being stabbed down on

The Dragonborn

Baron of dice has these golden eagle dice, they're 6's are so cool!

Oculemon

The biohazard symbol. Time to roleplay as the knights of the toxic god from Stellaris with a bunch of wasters in plate armor

Davide Celli

The ideoligion emblems are not the best, but they're good enough and I love when things are vanilla-friendly.

Carolin

Okay but everyone agrees that we need to have a kitty symbol, yes? ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

ChunkyLord62

Question, would you be able to just port over a lot of the symbols from your ideology expanded icons and symbols? I feel like that would satisfy a lot of everyone's ideas.

Thomas Pyke

The unique animals of Rimworld in a medieval style would be cool, ie. Thrumbo, Megaspider, Muffalo in the style of things like old griffin/dragon heraldry

MINI

Hi, not sure if appropriate, but i would love something runic like an Algiz or a Vegvisir. Thanks for your work.

Stim

Well, I sure had a symbol for myself long ago, but it's probably too specific so a stylized eye is something this game needs

Robert McPherson

Norse runes and/or wolf head would be awesome.

LoggerC4

A lobster! Specifically the one from Vanilla Fishing Expanded would be perfect as reference

Will

I would love a rabbit symbol, it relates to my last name.

Polar Potato

A Potato! Humble House Potato might seem small but much like the plan their efforts have held up Nations with farming work!

Captain Crunch

A tomato? A devil strand mushroom would be cool too

EremiticFool

I'd love a stylized take on any of the RimWorld specific creatures; muffalo, thrumbo, boomrat

Lennybolt7

I'd like to see the empire symbol, a morbid ideology style skull with spikes/bones, and the RW symbol itself.

Slayercare

Been playing a lot of Balatro a jokers head would be sick

Whirr91

Reusing some ideology symbols might be nice for a crusader king of playing

Ich171

Is there a technical reason the ideology-symbols cannot be used, if one has ideology? Or is that a separate mod? I would suggest some classic heraldic animals. Lion, Eagle, Horse, s... I'd also suggest a hippopotamus.

Falco

The home symbol from Stargate perhaps? Basically an upward pointing chevron with a circle above it.

Cr0ssley

It would be good to be able to use your ideology icon, kinda like an "ideology icon" option. Something similar for the faction icon could work as well. Some mechanoid or insectoid-related icons would work well as well!

Deggial

A ‘Manticore’ or, if a lion with scorpion tail isn’t fancy enough, possibly a ‘Griffon’. (The Manticore is the first choice though, as you asked for one submission only.) Honoring “Honor Harrington” (Hero of her own series of books), I created this banner for other SciFi-games that made such things possible and would love to see it in RimWorld as well.

bee

A Skep! :D (the image of a beehive when you think of beehives)

Mielga

Will there be compatibility with the imperial insignia you have to make for the royal chambers?

n9876

A heart with a horizontal sword through it </3

Kristian West

Since Vikings are also in Medieval 2, I'd like to suggest their iconography - Norse runes, the Valknut, maybe a stylized version of Yggdrasil...

Kantor

A moai-type stone head that is farting (or moving very fast, depending on perspective) like this: https://imgur.com/a/qJ3pJHa Or just a moai head

Mason Cleland

Freemason’s guild logo. I also think it would be cool to have a simple layering mechanism so you can recreate real coats of arms (mine is a rabbit on its hind legs with a horn draped over its shoulder)

Wojcislav

How about classic heraldry? Animals i.e. eagles, lions, Symbols i.e. laurels, hammer (or any other tool), coins

Frank Cotton

Can you have the ability for the player to add a custom jpeg in-game to make their own custom banners?

Kdog

I would like dragon heads and dragons as well as laurel wreaths and a sun
