WAD: Random courtiers names and dynasties funny mix

Random courtiers names and dynasties funny mix

Testing the generation of random courtiers, I've found that their first name always comes from the same culture as their liege, BUT their dynasty is based on the province culture where they are generated. So, for example, if you have a German ruler in an Arab province, you can get courtiers named Otto al-Nasser or somesuch who are German Catholic with a Muslim surname. Not sure how to fix this, since dynasties are tied to provinces. Maybe allow courtiers of "local" culture to be generated so their names and surnames match (but make them have the same religion as their liege)?

Not a great situation but WAD.

You are correct. For random courtiers their dynasty name comes from their location so there are indeed some strange names.

Yes this is WAD random courtiers are always the same culture as their liege and first names are generated according to culture. For Dynasty names, if you look in the dynasty.txt file in the db folder you see enteries like the following

dynasty = {
	id = { type = 12 id = 752 } 
	name = "de Normandie"
	province = { }
}

dynasty = {
	id = { type = 12 id = 3121 }
	name = "MacDuff"
	province = { 46 48 }
}

the province value tells you if a Random courtier generated in the province can take that dynasty name. So dynasty 752, de Normandie, will never be a dynasty name for a random courtier. While dynasty 3121, MacDuff, is a possible dynasty name for courtiers generated in provinces 46 & 48.
