city name bug

[Steely1]

Summary:
TXT_KEY_CITYNAME_HERAT displayed as the default in the Name City dialog.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Play as Persia (don't know if this affects other civs).
2. Build lots of cities.
3. Eventually (at Herat's position in the list?), when you build a city, you will see TXT_KEY_CITYNAME_HERAT displayed in the dialog box instead of Herat.
4. The same string is displayed for every subsequent city you try to found.

Sorry I don't have a screenshot, or exact city count before this happens-- I don't have the game on the computer I'm posting from.

And a bug that's easy to fix.

How do I add that to the file? I found the file and the exact spot where it is supposed to go. I just can't figure out how to paste it in there.

Double clicking automatically opens the XML files using Internet Explorer. If you right click and then select edit, the file will be opened using Notepad.

I had this same thing happen when I changed all the dity names of Greece to the greek alphabet. TXT_KEY_CITYNAME_ALPHA kept coming up every time. All I did was change everyone in the big city list. So there is another list I need to change?

I like that there are more things to edit now but it sure seems like the developers went out of their way to make it complicated. I need to get a new degree just to make some simple mods to a game.
