Romans have hidden internal names and the ones you see mean little as far as codes go. To start with all of their last names are "Romanvs" and there first names are simply their first name or their first name and a capital letter. So an example of what "Pvblivs Clavdivs Marcellvs" might be is something like "PvblivsD Romanvs".

What are the commands for those? I'd like that for ArrPee reasons. I assume you can do this your own faction too... Or is that a big no-no?

You cannot do that in-game with commands. You have to alter game text files to make the changes. And if you just want to change the name and color of a faction, it can be any one at any time, even your own.

Was afraid of that, it'd would've been nice and simple to change RGB values or summit in-game. Oh well.

Hi, I am having problems using the move_character command. I would like to move "Hasdrubal", a Qarth family member, to 97,105 but am continuously unsuccessful. Is the following correct?

move_character "Hasdrubal" 97,105

Am I missing something? Thanks.

move_character "Hasdrubal ofcarthago" 97,105

Do a forum search for all the internal names.

You can find the internal names very easily by opening the 'descr_names' file in the EB data folder. Then just scroll down to the faction you're looking for and there you have it.

The problem with moving Romans is that they have so few first names that the EB staff made many copies of them. So, 'Manivs Cornelivs Scipio' could have an internal name of 'ManivsA Romanvs' or 'ManivsK Romanvs' or ANY OF THE LETTERS IN BETWEEN. There's no way to figure out which copy of Manivs is used except to experiment. Save your game, then pick a nice out of the way location. Try teleporting your Roman to that spot. You probably won't get it on the first try, and you might actually teleport the WRONG Manivs before you get to the right one (hence the testing site). Eventually you should figure out which internal name the character has. Write it down and use it from then on.

Oh, and don't forget that all those fancy Roman cognomina are all given by script. Every Roman character has an internal 'last name' of 'Romanvs'.

Hope this helps...

p.s. Here's the other 'hidden' internal names I've discovered:

-Sweboz: all character have the last name 'der_deutsch'
-Sarmatians: all character have the last name 'steppenwulf' (har har EB )
-Saka: all character have the last name 'saka_soab'

It could also be "Manivs Romanvs" without a letter.

And you can also use the search function to search for this post:

Xxxx = first name
Yyyy = surname

Aediu : Xxxx of_aedui(Yyyy)
Arverni : Xxxx arvernioiYyyy The "oi" can also be "moc" or what ever words goes before the FM's surname.
Carthage : Xxxx ofcarthago
Pahlava : Xxxx of_parthia
Sweboz : Xxxx der_deutsch
Casse : Xxxx of_catuvellauni
Hay : Xxxx ofarmenia
Sauro : Xxxx steppenwulf
Saka : Xxxx saka_soab

All the other names with first and last names are done in the normal fashion.

There are some minor mistakes in this list:

Aediu : Xxxx of_aedu (for the starting FMs) or aeduioi/aeduimoc(Yyyy)

Pahlava : Xxxx ofparthia

Casse : Xxxx ofcatuvellauni
