TCS Improved Unit Renaming 1

Github repository.



Adds randomization options when renaming units.

Two buttons are added:

• Citizen (sample output below)

• Creative (sample output below)

Clicking the Citizen button will generate a name using a combination of a rank (available ranks are based on Age, Commander type, and sometimes Civilization) and a citizen name (taken from your Civilization's pool). Examples:

• Field Marshal George
• Sir Christophe
• Lady Eliza
• Ppolom Twelve Baby Macaws

Clicking the Creative button will generate a name using a random prefix and a random suffix taken from Civilization 6's unit name pools. Examples:

• The Dirty Victory
• The Crimson Grenadiers
• The Green Horseman
• The 4th Brigade

This is not meant to be completely serious, and silly names may be generated. I will, however, try to provide some semblance of regional and/or historical accuracy for the Citizen ranks and names.

There are 3 broad pools:

1. Citizen Pool: Most of these are pulled over from Civilization 6 as only a small number of civs in Civ7 have them. Sometimes there wasn't an exact mapping, so a few civs might have approximate mappings. This is used in conjunction with the Rank pool.
2. Rank Pool: Separate pools are created for each Age.
   • Antiquity: Ranks are pulled from various Ancient military positions and honorifics. Most civilizations have unique pools, but not all.
   • Exploration: Ranks are pulled from various Nobility titles. Civilizations are usually blobbed into regional pools, with a few exceptions.
   • Modern: Ranks are pulled from modern military organization, and are common to all civs.
3. Unit Name Pool: These are pulled over from Civilization 6, and include a creative Prefix and Suffix. Prefixes are common to all commander types, while Suffixes are split into Air, Land, and Sea.

Localization​

Batch translation for multiple languages was done via Google Gemini for this mod. I expect there will be myriads of errors due to the AI translation, but I wanted to provide a starting point for localization and to make merging pull requests cleaner (as the files are already referenced in the modinfo). The following languages have auto-generated translations (or, complete nonsense, depending on how Gemini did):

• German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Chinese (Simplified)

I have not translated the Citizen names, so I welcome contributions for that pool if you deem it necessary for your localization.

If you would like to contribute or update a translation, please do the following:

• open a branch from the current version, update the file, and create a Pull Request.

Note: Given how text-heavy this mod is, I will only accept localization updates done via a Github Pull Request!
