Dupilcate Dynasties
so far I really enjoy this game, but the most gamebreaking element I have faced happens almost every game as a default.
I use the same family name for every game, and I suspect there is some kind of custom dynasty database behind the scenes, so as to populate the map with "unique" dynasties.
however this has produced the opposite affect, in every map I run now, there is at least one duplicate dynasty, it will share either my name and coat of arms, or just the name with a different coat of arms, sometimes the only difference in unit colour is that between burgundy and crimson, which is to say a negligible difference easily confused on the overmap. or no difference whatsoever, depending on which iteration is being used

if anyone can suggest a means of restoring the original dynasty roster, or to determine from the start which colours my competitors will use, I would really apreciate the help.

I am not sure what your gamebreaking bug is.

Dynasty names are randomly generated out of the database of a few hundred names.

Dynasty coloures are set. They are always the same, depending on what badge you choose and how many ai are part. So, colours red, blue, green, yellow will always be in a 4 player game, white only of you have more than 10.

Some colours look slightly similar, e.g red.

the name thing i suspect was just my misunderstanding of the upper-left family name.

its likely this "bug" was mainly one of ignorance.

to be clear, the AI will always use the first badges from the left?
meaning that if i chose a burgundy badge then i will inevitably run into a confusion-causing crimson family during a 4 player match due to the first 3 badges including the crimson badge.

Family surnames are listed in the Text.dbt database. There are over 149 family last names for german maps. It seems like youre incredibly unlucky if youre getting 2 dynasties with the same exact name.

However I think its a glitch or a bug. Ive had multiple games start with 2 duplicate family names and it seems to be very common when spawning in +8 dynasties. Every game I play theres almost always a duplicate alzhimer or addallar family. I think the glitches is caused by something telling the game to only use certain names as half of the surnames im looking at have never appeared in my 300 hours of playing but I always have an Aufhauser or something.

And there are no duplicate colors. There are a max of 12 families with 12 color choices. There 2 reds, 2 greens and 2 yellows but theyre all different shades. You can change the colors from the DynastyColors.dbt
