Naming Convention of Generals

[Chester]

I would like my generals to keep their awarded titles such as Gallicus and Africanus and so forth.

I was so happy to get those titles, but they would often be replaced within a few turns with "the brave" "the conquerer" or my favorite "the fat".

Is there a way of stopping the name change? Or perhaps Keeping something like 'Africanus the brave' without 'the brave' removing the "Africanus".

I find it much more rewarding when my generals hold the title of the nations they've conquered.

[Dooz]

I doubt there is a way without removing the other titles, but that would indeed be nice.

[Malrubius]

You get the last epithet displayed; the only possibility would be to remove all the epithets from the original game ('the brave', 'the fat', 'the lucky', etc).

[QwertyMIDX]

They should all go anyway, only faction specific titles should up.

[khelvan]

Agree; I would rather only have epithets like that if one of our faction guys specifically ask for them. The old epithets, that is.

[QwertyMIDX]

I'm fine with having epithets like "the brave" or "the fat," but at the very least we want any rather generic epithets like "the great" to be faction specific, Magnus or Megos or whatever for the factions whose languages I dont know at all.

[Danest]

Heh, once a leader decides to live in a shoe and hoot at the moon, he's gonna get a nickname whether he likes it or not, no matter what he's achieved in the past. ;) ALthough a huge number of my Carthie generals are "the morbid" and are incredibly depressed. I wonder if it's genetic or if I'm accidentally torturing them.

[Meneldil]

Well, can't you set a condition like
and not trait The_Brave
and not trait The_Fat
for important epithets ?

[Malrubius]

I just deleted almost all the epithets out of both files. That's easier than trying to come up with all the triggers you'd need to prevent epithets from wiping out another, due to limit on number of conditions in a single trigger, etc. (It would require hidden traits flagging whether a general has an epithet or not, a lot of hassle when we have faction-specific ones). So, enjoy "The Fat" and "The Morbid" while you can, they'll be gone in the patch. :devil:

[Spendios]

You should at least keep "the Lewd" for all these oriental guys with their harem...~D

[Chester]

I don't think harem's were considered 'lewd' back then.
