How can I change city state names?

[oaks2ninja]

Hello all,

In Civ5, I was able to piece together from the board here a mod which allowed me to change the names of city states, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

I imagine such a thing is possible in civ6 as well. I have already tried using the same script from my mod from civ5, but that didn't seem to do it. I know very little about mods.

Does anyone have an idea how to change the city state names?

Thanks in advance!

Civ 6 Is rather diffrent in terms of modding, but try to check my Macau mod where I replace Lisbon and Mogadishu for Macau: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/portugal-is-nau-module-2-macau-is-nau.28842/

^ Simply by making a new XML file overriding CS names ? if the internal code is LISBON then LISBON_NAME should be written as Macao?

These are the replacements for Macao:

 <Replace Tag="LOC_CIVILIZATION_LISBON_NAME">
      <Text>Macau</Text>
    </Replace>
    <Replace Tag="LOC_CITY_NAME_LISBON">
      <Text>Macau</Text>
    </Replace>
    <Replace Tag="LOC_CITY_NAME_LISBON_1">
      <Text>Macau</Text>
    </Replace>
    <Replace Tag="LOC_CIVILIZATION_LISBON_DESCRIPTION">
      <Text>Macau city-state</Text>
    </Replace>
    <Replace Tag="LOC_CIVILIZATION_LISBON_ADJECTIVE">
      <Text>Macau</Text>
      <Gender>Masculine:an</Gender>
    </Replace>
    <Replace Tag="LOC_LEADER_TRAIT_LISBON_NAME">
      <Text>Macau Suzerain Bonus</Text>
    </Replace>

Very helpful, thanks!

I made the file, use the "build" option in modbuddy, boot up the game, go to the additional content and make sure it is enabled and start up a new game, however when I bring up the menu that lists the active mods, my mod is not on the list. I have it enabled from the additional content section, why does it not appear once I start up a new game?

If no errors you just have to add your files to project properties - > frontend (check my mod .modinfo)

Check If no errors at build and If you have the mod files in documents/my games/civ6.... Mods/your mod folder.

So here is what I have in the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- GameData1 -->
<!-- Author: Alex -->
<!-- DateCreated: 12/18/2021 12:00:12 AM -->
<GameData>
<Replace Tag="LOC_CIVILIZATION_AKKAD_NAME">
<Text>Sofia</Text>
</Replace>
<Replace Tag="LOC_CITY_NAME_AKKAD">
<Text>Sofia</Text>
</Replace>
<Replace Tag="LOC_CITY_NAME_AKKAD_1">
<Text>Sofia</Text>
</Replace>
<Replace Tag="LOC_CIVILIZATION_AKKAD_DESCRIPTION">
<Text>Sofia city-state</Text>
</Replace>
<Replace Tag="LOC_CIVILIZATION_AKKAD_ADJECTIVE">
<Text>Sofia</Text>
<Gender>Masculine:an</Gender>
</Replace>
<Replace Tag="LOC_LEADER_TRAIT_AKKAD_NAME">
<Text>Sofia Suzerain Bonus</Text>
</Replace>
</GameData>


So that should rename Akkad as Sofia, no? Or am I missing something.
I appreciate the help! Apologies that I am not so familiar with modding.

Seems fine like that.

If still no changed with your mod, you need to check out If you build and then mod files are in my games/.....civ 6.. /Mods, then compare modinfo with mine.
