Is this true?

Changing settlement names probably will screw up the script... at least it does in EB I.

not if you do it right. (this is for EB 1) simply go to preferences in the normal R:TW directory and go all the way to the bottom of preferences.txt. at the end it should say

edit_settlement_names FALSE

or something like that. simply backspace false and type TRUE in its place.

then, in-game, double click on a settlement, and at the top it should say the name. click on the name and backspace it all. then type in the name you would like and press the check at the bottom that closes the settlement page, and it should show up on the campaign map and the setlement page as your custom name.

Yes, but that confuses the EB script. For some unfathomable reason the R:TW scripting engine uses the external rather than internal names and therefore won't recognize the new towns. If an A.I. faction then conquers the towns, it won't get the correct government placed and its construction and recruitment will be crippled. Hence it's recommend not to change city names while playing EB. I am not sure if this is still the case in M2:TW engine has the same limitation, though.

Careful there Johnny. Offensive, degrading, sexist remarks and material can take you to a bad place (I think you've been there on TWC, actually). Maybe we've had enough of the bouncing breasts.

In case you didn't read the orgs rules:

Any kind of "flaming", slurs, or insults -- addressed to either an individual or a group -- is extremely inappropriate. Please respect etiquette at all times.

To be fair, though I do not agree with Johnny, percieves him as slightly immature and prefers patience to hype in most cases, I do not see where he has violated the rules, nor posted bouncing breasts? If he has I want to see them, for I am a great lover of beauty in women, and with my natural open mind and attitude about the fact that while I am single, I am a womaniser probably closer to breaching the rules than him.

He has his opinion about EBII and unfounded as it is, he is in fact entitled to it, nor can we censor him until such moment as he breaks the rules and having an opinion founded on nothing is not a breach of rules I think. Nor is lack of eloquence and sophistication, nor even impatience and a touch of immaturity.
In short, let us take a deep breath and not let our love for EB and respect for the EB Team tempt us to act harsly against those that do not agree.

I expect though that he will end the same place as the last person I defended cause of my fair principles, the ignore list for calling me liar. We shall see.

Actually, I think the EB team moderators can ban anyone they want from their forum, for any given reason (such as "you've been quite annoying and posted pics of a blonde girl while I prefer brunettes).

'dis is the dictatorship of the proletariat buddy.

[oudysseos]

Actually, the EB Team cannot ban anyone at all: in extreme cases our mod leaders can discuss this with the Org global moderators, whose rules we also have to abide by.

Our moderators can move or delete posts that are inappropriate or misplaced, that's all.
