1. PURPOSE
*************************
The Heraldry Mod is a little addiction to Medieval 2 Total War that include ingame titles
and heralds for every settlement ingame. They are all unique and based upon community
ideas.

2. INSTALLATION
*************************
Just put the files in you mod folder as they are packed into the zip file

3. HOW IT WORKS
*************************
The mechanism is simple, when one of your named generals end his turn in a settlement,
a script assign him a title. The titles are show as the ancillaries (retinue) so we
have included for every an image that shown the herald. The faction leader and the faction
heir didn't get any titles.
A general that have yet a title cannot gain another one, so the title in unique, but if
you want, you can transfer it to another general via drag and drop. When the general die,
his title become available for the next general that finish his turn in the same
settlement. The only limitation is that if you lose a settlement, you general keep the
title until he die... but you will not loose a city right?


4. REALISM NOTE
*************************
This mod is not intended for purist. The game engine limits the action on the ancillaries,
so for example we have to roleplay certain situations, for example, you can transfer more
titles to one general, or to the faction leader, but is best if you didn't do this as an
house rule. Is also possible that if you lost a settlement your general continue to have
the title, but this bring you to reconquer it.
Due to the caomplex medieval title systems, certain title aren't historically accurate,
but all of them are realistic. And until we develop a culture based triggers, the
settlement titles remain unique. (i.e. the King of Jerusalem is not a perfect middle
eastern title...). We try to add some localization flavours, but a purist can not love too
much this mod.
But the MAIN idea is to bring titles as in the old good Medieval Total War.



5. SUGGESTION & INFO for MODDERS

I will be also very pleased if this little mod can become part of other great projects,
for this reason I include only the added code in the files under the "/MODDERS/" folder.
