Is possible to automatically, or manually, change the name of the Seleukid, Ptolemaic, Attalid etc, ruler upon his succession to the throne? Little things like this bother me, I would my Basileos to be Antiokhos the IV or Seleukhos VII, The Ptolemies should all be with a few exceptions all be called Ptolemy. Just another little thing I would like for immersion.

Antiokhos
As far as I know, there is no way to manually change the name. As for automatically, there are epithets that the ruler may gain but the name itself I think cannot be modified.
I suppose he could gain the epithet of Seleukos II OR Antiokhos IV, etc., but is random or can it be determined by the script?Quote:

No Hellenistic or Pahlavan Basileia has ever recorded rulers by numbers: it is a modern convention...
It is however true that some Dynasteiai had royal names, but all recorded as Basileus X, son of Y or who came to rule in the year Z...
I was actually thinking to do the title "Basileus Arsakou" and then his regular name. I do not think numbering can ever be possible with the engine.Quote:
