Backstory, crest and portrait

Current status

What to check in your save

Read the selected backstory before confirming a dynasty. An appearance choice and a mechanical backstory effect are different decisions.

Version boundaries

The change is documented at the stated patch. Unpublished prices, exact effect sizes and future expansion details remain outside this claim.
