Change settlement's name and another question..

**Proelium_Committo** · 11-04-2007, 00:41

Hi! Does anyone know if is it possible in this -GREAT- mod, change the names of my cities? For example, after the roman conquest, I would like to change Taras to Tarentum, Ak-Ink to Aquincum... Is it possible and easy to do?
Another question: actually in my campaign I own almost 40 settlements (including all italian peninsula and sicily), 190 BC, but I haven't had the Polybian Reform... Now it is not a problem, but without it could still happen the Marian reform?
Anyway a fantastic game!!

...First off for the Polybian question ,did you activate the script .

secondly no you cannot change the city names. That will screw with the scripting and weird will shit will happen .

Click a settlement. The advisor will tell you how to activate it (click Show me how). You need to do this every time you start or load a game.

Lol, this has to be at least once a week....

Yeah, I know. People should really learn to read the FAQ, it's what its there for after all. Saying that though, there hasn't been a Lorica Segmentata question in a while...

.
You can change settlement names in BI. I think in-game changes don't affect the "internal" names so no screwing up happens.

Just a theory though. An EB with BI player should clarify.

Name changing does work with 1.5/1.6, however the script looks for external names and changing the name of the town will result in problems.

Would there be a way for it to look for an internal name in the next build?

No.

Some scripting commands simply do not accept an internal name.

To change names of cities, you have the edit the prefences.txt file, which isn't hard at all... besides that, at every reform, just change the name of the city back to what it was, then after the reform, change it back again to what you prefer.

I rename some of the cities in my campaign after faction leaders who died, i.e. Theodopolis.
