Some dude at TWC found out you can actually edit the name of a settlement in the middle of the game... discovered by total accident apparently, did anyone already know about this?

(BI only, apparently.)
Too bad it doesn't work in RTW
Hehe... Goodbye to some old names... Perhaps I will even begin to rename some cities in the honour of my greatest leaders and generals.
Sheepopolis sounds good...
Kraxonia = Constantinople...Quote:

I wonder, if you rename an settlement and the AI takes it from you, will they rename it to its old name?
This is great, nice find by that guy. I've been renaming all my conquered cities to the names of fallen family members. My capitol is now Boz(Thessalonica).
I foresee the coming of Bartertown.
I read somewhere it was also possibleto rename legions, anyone know about this?
and if it is... how to do it ~:)Quote:

It's fun playing with city names :tongueg:
I discovered this in my first campaign. I kept renaming my saxon settlements to later viking colonies. Ebarucum became Jorvik, for example.

The entire world now knows of the many famous battles fought around the aptly named Hordus Magnetum.
Formerly known as Campus Iazyges???Quote:

or why not Paris? ~D
It was a somewhat late change to the game that didnt get in to the manual.
Sorry.

Renaming units and cities would be very cool. And generals etc.: )
Is the link only for BI and if so is there a topic for doing it on RTW 1.2/1.3?
Thanks :duel: ~:cheers:
I rename my by alphabetical order, with a b c from there on. So much easier for me to know ~:cheers: ~:cheers: ~:cheers: ~:cheers: ~:cheers:
Hey I dont have BI but whoever does try changing a unit name the same way you tried changing the city name.~:)
I guess this would be the~;)Quote:
and a few surprises we haven’t told you about just yet!
Well I conquered Athens with my goths and renamed it after me.
It looks so much better now :bow:
So you now hold sway over the magnificent Goth city of TB666???Quote:

No, I named Athens after my first name in real life.Quote:

Maybe I should try it, I just captured Constantinople so it would be a good chance to try it.
TB666? Makes me think of "We are Borg, resistance is futile."Quote:

So no news on whether you are able to rename Legions or not? I'd personally love that more then cities as I'd be able to see the "Imperial Guard" route the rebel scum, the "Rough Riders" charge down the Huns, a unit on the field just seems so much better then an idle city.
Certainly no need to apologize! Half the fun of playing a game comes from finding neat little undocumented features, such as this or the famous battle sites, that don't actually affect gameplay but add a personalized feel to a game.Quote:

Might be worth trying if adding those parametres into the vanilla (1.3) preferences works. Also, that LABEL attribute seems worth checking for scripting.

Here are my names for the Frank settlements. Corrections (Latin and Frankish if available) appreciated:
- Imperium Frankorum (used to be Vicus Franki)
- Burkhardsburg
- Merovaegsburg
- Campus Merovaeum (renamed Merovaea upon growth)
- Campus Tancredium
- Adgandestria
- Nova Adgandestria
~:)

I have myself enabled it, but never considered it to be some sort of 'name changer'. So have you tested it?Quote:

Those lines in the preferences.txt file are (to my knowledge) for the little name label under characters (generals, assasins, spys, diplomats, ships) and settlements. When set to true, you always see the name under the object. When false, you only see it when it is clicked in.
