Is it possible to add more city names for AI? I'm sick of seeing AI's 'New blah' 'New blah' 'New blah'. I can understand AI can't create their own names but is there a way to add more? Like an .INF or something for city names?

The free Civ game called FreeCiv that has thousands and thousands of unique city names - I'm sure CivIII can manage that!


Thanks in advance.

PS - Yes I tried 'Search' but it is horrible and unfriendly!

Of course you can! It's easy to add more names! :)

Quick tutorial (for Conquests):
1. Go to the editor. It should be in the same folder as Conquests.exe*
2. Go to the Scenario menu -> click Custom Rules .
3. A message will appear. Click OK
4. Go to the Rules menu -> Edit Rules
5. Go to the Civilizations tab
6. Select any civ you want
7. Add more cities to the city list in that bottom left part of the editing window
8. Repeat this action for as many civs as you want
9. Save in the default folder;
10. Start Conquests, go to Civ-Content, and load the file you created.

*If you don't know what I mean by "The Editor", it's a program that comes with Civ and is called (for Conquests) Civ3ConquestsEdit.exe or something like that.

If you don't have Conquests, the steps will differ a bit, for example you'll have to go to "Load Scenario" instead of "Civ-Content" after you finished doing everything.

Lovely!!!

CivIII is getting better and better! :crazyeye: :king:

The City Names list also works just like most other scrolling windows: you can select a city and delete it; likewise you can insert a city name by selecting a city name and moving the cursor to the end of the name, hit Enter, and type away.

Best,

but don't mess with barbarian names, cuz there must be exact same number of these

Yeah, just think like Glade:

Plug 'em in Plug 'em in!

but don't mess with barbarian names, cuz there must be exact same number of these

Quite correct regarding the number, but you can still change the names.

BTW when doing barbarians you might consider reading this post.

Interesting... Thanks for that link, YP... Now I can change the descriptors of the monsters for the FF mod to match appropriate FF games (which the culture groups are based on).....
