Editing dynamic civ names?

[AIAndy]

This is just freaking brilliant! I'd love to see what y'all come up with with these. I'll be trying to think of some suggestions but I'm a little lost in semantics on some of this.

Also, a question, what determines priority if you have overlapping qualifications for renaming on a given portion? For example, if my civ prefix qualifies for two adjusted 'names', which one gets the spotlight?

If more than one is valid (which I expect to be the usual state) then a random one of them is chosen.

Check the Modder's Documentation thread for an expression system tutorial.

That will be fun?

Religion name will be avaiable too?
Like a "Voodoo Kingdom of Jivaro"?

You can query the state religion in the condition, like this:

<Has>
  <GOMType>GOM_RELIGION</GOMType>
  <ID>RELIGION_VOODOO</ID>
</Has>

So you could have that provide the prefix "Voodoo".

Great addition, it doesn't add much to the game mechanics, but is a really nice semantic and polish improvement.

I won't get the code bug-free today after all, so it will be mid of the week until I submit it.

Until there are enough naming parts in the XML for proper naming of Civs it won't be active by default anyway.

Hey MW! We could at least get some brainstorming from ya on these. That goes for anyone! Lets hear what you can come up with. Just start spitting some names and conditions ideas for those names and let us work out the coding details if you like.

Well, I'm thinking unique religious names... like Caliphate or something for Islam.

If we can find a good name for all religions, I'd say go for it. The religious name could be triggered by having Theocracy or State Church.

Ahh, I remember looking into this, and then flinching away when I found it wasn't XML. Hopefully I'll comeup with some names, and share them with you guys.

Sorry for bumping...
Is this finished and/or released anywhere? Sounds very interesting.

While the code and XML is in the newer versions, it is incomplete and not working yet and I have zero time to complete it at the moment.

Thanks, I'll check out what's there so far.
