Noble Titles

Features

• []Vassals and rulers receive titles prefixing their names (e.g., Duke Aldric), which can be seen throughout the game

  []Each title has a cultural variant (e.g., Jarl Hakon)

  []Each title has a gender variant (e.g., Emir/Emira or Count/Countess)

  []Vassal titles are distributed by ranking of prominence within their kingdom (3 vassal tiers, 1 ruler tier)

  []Spouses of titled nobles also receive an appropriate title

  []Titles are fully customizable, and custom cultures' titles may be easily added

  []Party names reflect the party leader's titled name, making them much easier to recognize on-map

  []When titled nobles die, their title persists forever (unless you remove the mod)

  []Provides instant context upon the degree of importance of a noble

  []Can be freely added to an existing campaign

  []Worry-free removal from a campaign with no special steps required (all traces of the mod will vanish)

  Compatibility

  Noble Titles plays well with others:

  • []No external dependencies

    []As mentioned above, worry-free addition and removal to and from existing savegames

    []If your game has custom cultures in it, the mod will gracefully fallback to defaults

  • Only one possible (soft) incompatibility: any mods that manipulate/replace existing characters' names. As far as I know, the one and only instance of this is Detailed Character Creation, as it allows you to rename characters. This is perfectly fine to use, but note: if the character you're renaming has a title, just don't mess with the title prefix of the name (modify the name itself as you please), and all will be well.

    Prerequisites

    Noble Titles works right out of the box: it has no external dependencies. However, it does very lightly employ Harmony, and while Harmony is already packaged with Noble Titles, here's a pro-tip:

    In the long run, you'll encounter fewer compatibility issues for any mod which uses Harmony -- practically all of them -- if you install the centralized Harmony mod and put it at the very top of your mod list. Using the centralized version of Harmony in such a manner will ensure that the game is always using the correct version.

    Title Listing

    Note that we strove to maintain approximately the same English-accessibility to the cultural titles as TaleWorlds does in general throughout the game. Credit goes to BigPharma for curating all of these title designations both for a reasonable degree of "represented cultures" accuracy and gameplay considerations.

    By culture and gender, from most prestigious to least:

    1. King / Queen

    2. Duke / Duchess

    3. Count / Countess

    4. Baron / Baroness

    1. Emperor / Empress

    2. Duke / Duchess

    3. Catepan / Kyria

    4. Strategos / Kyria

    1. Grand Prince / Grand Princess

    2. Prince / Princess

    3. Jarl / Jarl

    4. Boyar / Boyarina

    1. High King / High Queen

    2. Mormaer / Bantiarna

    3. High Chief / High Chieftess

    4. Chief / Chieftess

    1. Great Khan / Great Khanum

    2. Baghatur / Bekhi

    3. Khan / Khanum

    4. Bey / Begum

    1. Sultan / Sultana

    2. Prince / Princess

    3. Emir / Emira

    4. Sheikh / Sheikha

    How It Works

    Noble Titles assigns vassals and rulers one of 4 title ranks. Internally, these ranks are denoted Baron, Count, Duke, and King. Before applying a title to a character, it's translated to a gender- and culture-specific title according to the definitions in the titles.json file, which you may freely customize (see the Customization section).

    The culture of the kingdom to which the character belongs is used for cultural titles. Thus, if you're a Sturgian by birth but have sworn fealty to Aserai, you'll be an Emir instead of a Jarl.

    If a titled noble's spouse is without their own distinct title, the spouse will gain the title's gender-transl
