Changing Settlement Names?

[Knight of Ne]

Hi there,

This is just one thing i haven't noticed being mentioned. In Medieval 2, we could change a settlements name in-game, i'm just wondering if it is likely we will be able to do that in EBII or will the changing of settlement names affect any scripting and thus be made impossible in EBII?

p.s. The latest faction, i can't spell their name at all look so gorgeus and unique.

We will have a script to change names to whatever the faction has called that city/region. So no need to change them manually ;)

So that, if Makedon conquers Carthage, Kart-Hadast will automatically become Karchedon?

Cool.

That's pretty cool. It'll be nice to have Tarentum instead of Taras for Romani :D . And if we can rename them, we can emulate razing settlements to the ground by renaming them after destroying everything!

But one thing, eg. if someone ever decides to go on world conquest with Taksashila, how are you going to find names for settlements like Oxtraca, Camulosadae, Gawjam - Skandzawarjoz etc. ? Then wouldn't they have to stay like they are or depend on us to be changed?

So changing the names won't cause problems with the script, like it does in EB1?

Not all names would change. Just a few where we have reliable sources for what they were called by other people.
