Is it possible to modify the default army names, i.e. "Legio I Germanica", "Legio II Sabina" instead of "1st Legion", "2nd Legion" etc?
I've only found ship's names so far ...
Any help wpuld be appreciated.
 
not by automation, the army_names = { "Legio xyz" }-trigger from EUIII:IN is not included. :(

you can only rename the armies manually by clicking the name in the header and give them new ones.

I know that I can rename them manually, but that was not my intent ...
Too bad, I wanted to include real Roman legion names in my small mod :(
 
If you open localisation\othertext.csv and do a search for "ARMY_NAME" you can mod it to some extent there. Unfortunately, the options are very limited: you can't have Roman numerals (bummer) and you can't add region names (the game doesn't recognise $REGION$ in this context). You can do what I did and change the text from "$NUM$$ORDER$ Legion" to "Legio $NUM$" and just change the number to a Roman numeral in-game when you make the legion.

As mate pointed out, there's no "army_names = {" section in the country text files, unlike in EU3IN, and adding it has no effect.

Thanks for the info, Roman numerals and common names really would have been a nice thing for my mod :(
<frustration_mode>Every other Paradox title I modded allowed me to pre-define army names, why doesn't this one? :mad:</frustration_mode>
