Renaming settlements

[Seasoned Alcoholic]

Yep, you need to edit the following text files:

descr_regions @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\base

descr_region_and_settlement_name_lookup @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\text

Simply Ctrl+F to bring up the search dialog box and type in your criteria to save time.

Btw, once you've made your changes, delete map.rwm @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\base, otherwise you might keep getting CTDs.

You might also want to have a look at old_imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names, although this is irrelevant for renaming exisiting settlments.
