The names that you see on start-map are the ones NOT in the brackets. The console commands use the names in the brackets, so if you just change the right-hand-side names, all will be fine.

The commands work with the new names as well

Yes, of course they work - I meant that if you just change the external names, the commands will remain the same, ie the command for adding population to a specific will still require the old inernal name (rather pointless to mention it in the previous post, I just realised)

Actually,no it doesn't. I changed Pergamum to Troy,Thessalonica to Pella,Sidon to Tyre,Seleucia to Babylon,etc.,and the cheats worked fine with the new names. Only thing is,Romeshell can't seem to recognize multiple-word names,as when I'd changed Carthago Nova to New Carthage and Constantinople to New Rome,no go.

I think you'll need quoatation marks for them; but best bet is to use underscores for the internal names.

You need to write the name using "_" .. like New Rome should be New_Rome

EDIT: Aradan was right .. quoatation marks helps

Double-worded names don't have that "_" in the file,though. Carthago Nova was typed same as I just did.

What he means is in the Romeshell when there is a two-part name for a city, you have to include a "_".

For example, "add_population 500 Carthago Nova" will not work, but:

"add_population 500 Carthago_Nova" will...or at least it should

Also, on the topic, how do you change them mid-game? I've seen it done before.
