Yep, I will definietly run through all the names you guys posted
I very much agree with the more the merrier rule here, ideally I would like to have at least 12-15 names for all nations' colonial admirals and generals, and at least 8-10 names for royal admirals and generals
Might be hard for Sweden and Denmark if we exclude kings and rulers, but I think together we can put together something close enough :king:

I really like all the information you have about them. I would love it if it were included in the colopedia, although I don't know where at the moment. :think:

Yep, I will definietly run through all the names you guys posted
I very much agree with the more the merrier rule here, ideally I would like to have at least 12-15 names for all nations' colonial admirals and generals, and at least 8-10 names for royal admirals and generals
Might be hard for Sweden and Denmark if we exclude kings and rulers, but I think together we can put together something close enough

I will commit all of your names to the SVN today. :goodjob:

EDIT: The names have been committed.

I was also thinking about having some very basic information about them ingame
Not sure what's the best solution though..

I will commit all of your names to the SVN today.

Ohh, thanks

but as I said, I'm still improving all the lists
Will post a more final one for all the nations in a couple days

Admirals Portugal Royal

<Admirals>
<Admiral>Pedro Álvares Cabral</Admiral>

A small note about admirals: We do not include names that are already taken by founding fathers (such as Pedro Alvares Cabral).

Hm, we still have only 2 Admirals for Portugal and 1 for Portugal Europe.

(We definitely need more.)

All other Nations do have enough names for Admirals.
(The number of names for Generals is fine as well.)

-------

Some of the lists for Admirals have even become really long.
(In some cases longer than the lists for Generals.)

That would not have been necessary, since it is very very unlikely that in any game so many Admirals of one nation will ever be generated.
(AI will not fight that much on water. Thus both AI and Player will not get that many Admirals.)

But it is no problem either, to have such long lists of names for Admirals.

(The pool for names is simply bigger. Considering performance this doesn't matter.)

This was only a preliminary list. Thorn and AbsintheRed will both be adding more names.

Great! Performance was the one doubt I still had when adding general names and expanding city lists. :goodjob:

Ok great.

This is one of the last open todos for our upcoming Release 2.1.

Since the logic for names of cities or generals or admirals is only called when they are created, it doesn't really impact performance to have longer lists.

Also the way they are parsed prevents noteable impacts on performance if the list is longer.
(It stops when a suiting name is found. Meaning the name is not already used.)
