How to change the name of Ideologies

[jdevo]

Bit of a long shot; wondering if anyone knows how to change the names of the ideologies from Democracy, Autocracy, Order to Capitalism, Fascism, Communism. It's only a text change for flavor. Thanks!

You can update (2) Vox Populi/Database Changes/Text/en_US/Policies/PolicyTextChanges.sql
The entries such as

UPDATE Language_en_US
SET Text = 'Authority'
WHERE Tag = 'TXT_KEY_POLICY_BRANCH_HONOR';

control the text you're asking about.

If you want to persist the changes across installs of new versions, put the SQL updates in a personal options mod sql file that won't be overwritten on update.

There's several places it shows up you might want to change. Here is an example that changes Autocracy to "Might"

Spoiler :

-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-- rename autocracy to might
-- good for many reasons, but it specifically helps distinguish the new orientation

UPDATE Language_en_US
SET Text = 'Might'
WHERE Tag = 'TXT_KEY_POLICY_BRANCH_AUTOCRACY';

-- Changes to ConceptTextChanges
UPDATE Language_en_US
SET Text = '[COLOR_YELLOW]Might[ENDCOLOR]'
WHERE Tag = 'TXT_KEY_SOCIALPOLICY_AUTOCRACY_HEADING3_TITLE';
UPDATE Language_en_US
SET Text = 'The Might ideology is well suited for those wishing nothing more than to crush their foes under the weight of their iron-plated boots. [COLOR_YELLOW]This ideology unlocks upon entering the Atomic Era, or unlocking 18 Policies and having advanced at least to the Industrial Era, whichever comes first.[ENDCOLOR]'
WHERE Tag = 'TXT_KEY_SOCIALPOLICY_AUTOCRACY_HEADING3_BODY';

UPDATE Language_en_US
SET Text = 'The three Ideology trees, Freedom, Order, and Might, have greatly expanded in Brave New World. All civilizations in the game, [COLOR_YELLOW]on acquiring 18 Policies and having advanced at least to the Industrial Era, or upon reaching the Atomic Era,[ENDCOLOR] will be required to choose an Ideology for their civilization. Each Ideology tree contains 3 tiers of "tenets" that you use to customize your Ideology, with the third and final tier holding the most powerful benefits. As with regular Social Policies, players use Culture to purchase additional tenets as they move through the game.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]Civilizations that share a common Ideology will receive benefits with their diplomatic relationships. Civilizations that have conflicting Ideologies have multiple side-effects. For example, a negative effect on their diplomatic relationship and happiness penalties take effect if an opposing Ideology has a stronger Cultural influence on your people. If you let your people become too unhappy, there is a chance that your cities may declare that they are joining your opponents empire. As a last resort, you, or other players, can resort to a "Revolution" to switch Ideologies to one that is preferable to your people.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]For more information on Ideological Tenets, click on the "Social Policies" tab along the top of the Civilopedia, and scroll down to the Order, Freedom, and Might sections.'
WHERE Tag = 'TXT_KEY_SOCIALPOLICY_IDEOLOGY_HEADING3_BODY';

SET Text = 'The new world order of Might is a force that cannot be denied. Your decision to join our cause was inevitable, and will lead to a great and triumphant future.'
WHERE Tag = 'TXT_KEY_GENERIC_SWITCHED_TO_AUTOCRACY_2';

Note that, with the exception I think of Fascism, the other two are also the names of Policies. So you might want to change them too. POLICY_CAPITALISM and POLICY_SKYSCRAPERS. You need to change the key for the name and then also where it appears at the start of the _HELP text

Thanks!

I wonder what happens if you run

UPDATE Language_en_US SET Text = Replace(Text, 'Autocracy', 'Fascism');
