    Default High King of Britannia

    Anybody else think it would be cool if you unite all of the British Isles your Iceni faction leader becomes "High King of Britannia" or simply just "High King". Sort of like a progression system. Your faction leader would start out as a Chief or petty king but as he gains more lands and prestige his title would reflect that. This could also work for the other factions too Eastern factions would be something like "King of Kings", and Romans would of course have their own thing as well.

    Crusader Kings II had an awesome feature where if you united certain areas for example Ireland you could create the title "King of Ireland" it was a great progression system. Back "High King" I really think this would be a great little feature that would be the barbarians version of Emperor and add a bit more character to the faction.

    Absolutely, titles have always been part of the TW and the title "High King" fits the faction. I like the idea if the Iceni capture all of the British Isles their faction leader goes from being called King to "High King".

    I like High King because it sounds awesome but it would be a good way to bring titles back.

    And if you conquer the whole world, you become CEO of CA. Now, seriously, I like the idea of titles.

    Oh yes. And if it's not, It SHOULD be possible to mod in (You get a trait for owning certain regions, or something.)

    Racking up titles it always fun!

    Sounds good. Would like things like that in all the Factions. You could also end the roman republic and make your faction leader emperor.

    You get the Union flag for uniting Britain in 250 bc, right?

    King of the Britons would be a more accurate title, and it would be cool if every region gave you titles. "King of the Gauls," "Archon of Greece," etc.

    Assignable titles - for loyalty bonuses! That sounds familiar?

    Yeah this would be really great. It would aid in your attachment to characters. Or maybe thats just me but if I had one of my generals conquer all of Brittania then I would definitely treat him differently. Besides I always liked when King Charles was called King Charles the Malevolent. Just gives the game a little more flavor.

    I would say just keep it simple so when the Iceni faction leader unites Britannia he will get the title "King of the Britons". You will still have council members for regular titles if that feature is retained. The same could be done with the other factions as well sort of as an early to mid game goal. To me this is a no–brainer feature since we already can guess that you can convert Rome to an Empire which means their faction leader will be called the Emperor so I don't see why the other faction shouldn't have their own little faction leader title thing as well. Some examples:

    Faction Leader titles (with certain requirements)
    Iceni - "King of the Britons" (control all of Britannia as the Iceni)
    Rome - "Emperor" (covert to an Empire)
    Gauls - "King of the Gauls" (unite most of Gaul)
    Eastern Faction - "King of Kings" (subdue or make 2-3 Eastern factions vassals.

    It would be pretty sick if the Emperor actually had a unique model on the campaign and battle map with lots of blacks and purple and with a unique bodyguard as well. This is how I would envision the Emperor model of Rome.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    I really like this idea and I think it could make for a great feature that would feel like some of the titles from medieval 1.

    Yeah man sometimes it is the little things.

    I always like the 'eagle taker' trait from Rome I hope this returns in a capacity for all factions.
