“Tailor the Titles” is a popular video game modification (mod) community event and challenge format, most notably associated with the historical simulation game Crusader Kings III (CK3). It focuses on changing the default, historical names of land titles, empires, kingdoms, and cultural honorifics to create highly customized, alternative history narratives.
Here is everything you need to know about the concept, its mechanics, and how to use it. ⚙️ Core Mechanics
Title Renaming: Players change the names of holdings (e.g., changing “Kingdom of France” to “The Frankish Empire”).
Cultural Customization: Changing ruler titles based on culture (e.g., changing “King” to “Sultan,” “Czar,” or a custom fictional term).
Tier Management: Customizing names across all five feudal tiers: Barony, County, Duchy, Kingdom, and Empire. 🗺️ Common Use Cases
Roleplay: Crafting unique, immersive storylines for specific fictional or historical characters.
Mega-Campaigns: Preparing custom political maps for games spanning across multiple strategy titles (like converting a CK3 save file to Europa Universalis IV).
Fantasy Recreations: Rebuilding worlds from popular fiction like Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire) or The Lord of the Rings. 🛠️ How to Customize Titles in CK3 (Vanilla Game)
You do not always need mods to tailor your titles. The base game allows manual editing: Click on the coat of arms of the title you want to change. Click the quill and paper icon next to the title’s name. Type your new custom name and short name. Click Save to update the map instantly.
