You know what I'd like to see? (more characternames)

[unmerged(112901)]

A mod that adds more names to the game. I have four Catalinas in my court right now, a couple of Sanchos and Juans. It gets confusing.

Maybe it's just the Spanish names. I've only played with Castille so far since I've just purchased the game. Other than the lack of names I'm REALLY enjoying the game.

I know that Jordarkelf's DVIP mod have expanded the names list, as well as the dynasties files.

Other than that, you can mod it yourself, by finding sources online of medieval names.

like this site f.x.: Medieval names

Or check out Terranova.dk where the DVIP mod forum is. There are lists of both Dynasties and names that you can use (not all have made it into DVIP yet).

Aye.

And you just have to copy those lists into the names.txt?

Do I have to keep some rules, or just simply copy it at the end of the text?

 

[jordarkelf]

You must use the proper format, but most names in that list are already so.
I think I used just about everything in that thread in the DVIP by the way.

Thanks for the link. I guess I'm going to have to try DVIP

I've found that I don't enjoy too many names, not at least without increasing the instances of more common names. So for instance, you could add another 200 different names to the English list, but do you really want English counts and kings called Jonathan, Archil and Sebastian?

 

[TempestDK]

I personally like the big naming lists, as it otherwise turns too bland if every courtier and noble in England is called Henry, John or William.

As with most who post new naming lists, they usually added more instances for more common names. Like in the Hungarian list above, where Zsigmond and Laszlo appears 4-5 times more often than less usual names like Vazul.

But is it inconsievable that a hungarian duke would ever be called Vazul?? ... or would it be more fun if half of the hungarian nobles/courtiers were called Béla?

Agree with you on this one. Having reams of courtiers with the same first name (and likely last name too) is both confusing and boring.

I like to think of it as a George VI of England. He wasn't called George but something else, he took George on his coronation. Therefore you could have a Percival as King, but upon ascension he could take another name (relatively easy to edit in the savefile).

But I like a wide variety of names.
