Leader names of random

[Patricko]

I start usually with random leader/civ. My question: is there a way to get the game to give the leader the correct name in the game?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but that doesn't do it I'm afraid.

I want to be able to have a random civ/leader and for the correct name to be given for that leader.

You mean that it is automatically the leaders own name?

Doesn't [default] do this?

Yes, exactly.

Doesn't [default] do this?

No. Tried that.

I don't think that there is a way. The game gives the leader your name by default because you are the leader of that civ.

For instance, when I play as Ragnar, his name is Natasha, not Ragnar.

But you would like his name to default to Ragnar, right? I'm not sure the game will do that.

Generate a game, go into options (Escape shortcut otherwise) and take Your detail (or the other option with detail word in it) and change the leader name.

For all its worth, I would much rather meet a Ragnar named Natasha, than a Natasha named Ragnar
Nice name btw.

Many thanks for replies.

I think the answer is to call all my leaders Natasha from now on. It has a better ring than King Patrick

The game takes the name of the leader from the user who is logged in at the time you roll a start. If you make user accounts for all the leaders in Civ and then log in as the correct one when starting a new game you should be okay. Rules out random leader or civ though.

I like to name myself Jerkface or Mistress or something similar, just so I can see the AI say "Oh, it's you again, Jerkface" or "Your crimes have gone unpunished long enough, Mistress."
