Escutcheon sample

The coat of arms of a french family reproduced with the in game blazon:
ARGENT BENDY SINISTER GULES A BEAR SABLE

The Kingdom's coat of arms[2] is the distinctive emblem displayed on the pause menu as a escutcheon and on the town center past the village tents tier as a banner. Its colors (tinctures) also appear on banners and shields around the Kingdom.

It's a cosmetic feature, with no impact on gameplay mechanics. Every new Monarch is randomly assigned a fresh coat of arms.

Kingdom: New Lands Kingdom: New Lands & Kingdom Two Crowns Two Crowns – A player may set a custom coat of arms, use the blazon syntax, or one of the available generators.

Kingdom: Classic Kingdom: Classic – Coat of arms are randomly generated at the beginning of a new Kingdom and there is no way to customize it (see history note). This article may still be useful for players to check the types of escutcheon and color combinations a kingdom may have.

Blazon[]

Blazon Settings
Mobile  Mobile users cannot edit the blazon, but in Two Crowns they can access the emblem generator.

In heraldic terminology, a blazon is the formal description of a coat of arms. In the game's settings, the player can set a custom coat of arms for the Kingdom in the menu by entering the blazon’s parameters with the proper syntax in the text box and then confirming the entry using the "Set Blazon" button. That syntax is:[3]

[1st Tincture], [Ordinary] [2nd Tincture], [Charge] [3rd Tincture]

(Commas and brackets are included here for clarity and should be removed.)

Scotland
  • Ordinary: the geometric patterns in the background.
  • Charge: the animal or shape in the center.
  • Tincture: the color or metal of the prior feature.


For example, NAVY A SALTIRE WHITE A LION RED produces a navy-colored coat of arms with a white saltire and a red lion (see image). There is a multitude of possible combinations for a Kingdom's coat of arms.

Kingdom: New Lands Kingdom: New Lands – Since version 1.2.3 and onwards, using ⌫ Backspace when typing the blazon makes the "Options" submenu close back to main menu. Players can use the arrows and the del key if needed.

Tinctures[]

The table below displays all available colors that can be used on the background, the ordinary and the charge of the coat of arms.

Due to a bug, charges cannot have a tincture with a name that starts with another tincture name.[4] The colors falling into this are: Aquamarine, BlueViolet, Goldenrod, GreenYellow, LavenderBlush, Orange, OrangeRed, Orchid, and YellowGreen. They can, though, be perfectly used on the background and on the ordinaries.

Mobile For a table with 120 tinctures, see this article on desktop version.

Ordinaries[]

The articles (i.e. a/an) are required whenever specified below (some ordinaries and all charges). A blazon must have exactly one ordinary, so if the player wants a solid background, he or she can choose any ordinary and make it the same colour as the background.

Achievement decorations[]

Kingdom: New Lands Kingdom: New Lands – There are four common and one special achievement that grant unique decorations to the Kingdom's escutcheon on the pause menu—without changing any other flag or banner. These achievements with their rewarded decorations are listed bellow:

Achievement Requirements Decoration's description prvw
Birth of a Reign Escape any island. Carved leaves on both sides of the escutcheon. Birth of a Reign
Interior Decoration Escape 3 islands in a row without losing/restarting. A pair of deer antlers. Interior Decoration
Heraldic Achievement Escape any 5 islands in a row without losing/restarting.[7] A pair of lit candles on metal candle holders. Heraldic Achievement
Crowned Escape the 5th island. A golden Crown on the top of the escutcheon. Crowned
Skull Island Destroy all portals in the Skull Island. Four skulls at the bottom of the escutcheon. Skulls icon

All decorations are removed if the player starts a new game from the map, except for the skulls and the crown — these can only be removed after deleting the save files and starting a brand new save game.

Escutcheon no decor
Escutcheon antlers leaves candles
Escutcheon leaves skulls crown
An escutcheon with no extra decoration, one with antlers, leaves and candles, and another with skulls and a crown.

Classic and Two Crowns – The pause menu's escutcheon also has decorations that are based on the Monarch's success. They appear to persist across different Monarchs, but their connections to achievements are less visible.
