Features
[b]Create custom faction icons[/b]
Build an icon in the editor and set it as the faction icon on the world map.
Assign custom icons to non-player factions via their settlements (god mode by default; optional setting to allow anytime).
[b]Per-entity icons[/b]
Give individual settlements, caravans, or outposts their own coat of arms. Open the editor from any settlement, caravan, or outpost on the world map and choose to use the faction icon or design a custom one for that entity. Caravans can share one CoA per faction (all your caravans use the same icon) or use the default icon; optional setting to show coat of arms on caravans at all.
[b]Editor[/b]

[*] [b]Frames[/b] - Frame styles (e.g. square, rounded) applied around the icon.
[*] [b]Background patterns[/b] - Patterns (solid, divided, heraldic) with up to three colours.

[b]Emblem library and DLC[/b]
[list]
[*] Categories: shapes, symbols, lettering, vanilla-style faction icons. Ideology adds more (roles, precepts, structures). Uses vanilla and DLC art when installed. Patch for [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2552609458]Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Icons and Symbols[/url] adds more emblems when that mod is present.
[/list]
[b]Mod options[/b]
[list]
[*] Emblem limit, export resolution (64–512), custom export folder.
[*] World map icon scale for vanilla and coat of arms icons.
[*] Toggle to show coat of arms on caravans.
[*] Optional integration: show CoA on [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3626725895]Faction Territories and Vassalage[/url] vassal outposts and on [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2688941031]Vanilla Outposts Expanded[/url] outposts (when those mods are loaded).
[/list]
[b]Sharing and presets[/b]
[list]
[*] Save and load presets.
[*] Copy to clipboard to share; others can import from clipboard.
[*] Export as PNG (mod Exports folder or custom path in settings).
[/list]
Revert any faction to its default icon from the editor. Reverting a non-player faction after applying a custom icon can sometimes leave the icon with wrong colours (known quirk, should hopefully now be fixed with recent update).
