How can I edit an existing leader's name? I already know how to change their picture, but let's say I want to change Lincoln's name to Jack. What file should I be digging in?

Also, I absolutely HATE the goofy dialogues in this game. They ruin the otherwise deep gameplay and are a major immersion-breaker. Is there any way I can edit these, or even better, is there a mod out there that makes rival leaders a bit more mature?

For leader names, it's one of the text files (Assets/XML/Text), but I don't really remember now that I use mostly modular. For Diplomacy, its DiplomacyText_Infos.XML (Assets/XML/Text). The diplomacy text and leader names are defined there, so if you want to rename Lincoln for instance, you'd have to look at the tag containing LINCOLN in it and edit that.
