IN-GAME changing of settlement names!!!

[antisocialmunky]

So you now hold sway over the magnificent Goth city of TB666???

TB666? Makes me think of "We are Borg, resistance is futile."

Indeed! I just couldn't help but ask. The ball was positioned right for my left leg.

anyone know that the ai will change the city name back to it original if they conquered from you?

No, they won't. Neither rebels nor major factions.

I wonder if it can be scripted...

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.

It was a somewhat late change to the game that didnt get in to the manual.
Sorry.

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.

Good point. It would make it possible for a mod like EB to have accurate names for settlements if they're conquered by a different faction.

Hmm... Vahallan Ice Warriors (swordsmen) and Ogryns (Hounds of Culann) would be favorite names for me

I've noticed:

LABEL_CHARACTERS:FALSE
LABEL_SETTLEMENTS:TRUE

in the preferences file. Characters are seemingly kings/generals and agents.

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?

GAH! The lines are already there in the vanilla prefs but I think it doesn't work there. I may be wrong though. Will report the next time I play my Greek campaign.

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.

Pretty logical. In which case

Indeed.
