Where would I find the file for names of Great People?
I am asking because late on in one of my games generic names were being used. Instead of "Tuatha" it was just "Great Prophet" for example.
No need to tell me, I found it.

Now my next question, where did these names come from...? I think Tuatha is from Celtic mythology. Are all of these names from Celtic as well?

I believe a lot of them are names of characters from Kael's old D&D games.

And note (as has been mentioned before) the names of the first eight of the Great Engineers:

Khmer Otterfig
Faber Ozzie
Hoyden Drew
Milana
Zoot Ghent Gear
Ethel Agames
Fodgel Thor
Bareke

When you rearrange the letters you get some interesting names . . . :lol:

THe names can be found in the xml/.xls files, unit definitions, where unique names is a category that every unit has. Great people have their names listed in the order they appear, and when they run out the default name is always used. I frequently got to the point where the names were generic in Vanilla.

They're anagrams for the Muppets. Khmer Otterfig is Kermit the Frog, etc.
