Names of Barbarian Tribes in Civ 2

[Dishpan_Hans]

Hi, first time poster, long time Civ 2 player...

When Barbarians threatend to loot an undefended city and demand a specific ransom. The name of the tribe is given. I assume it's random, but I like that touch.

Here's a list of tribes my cities have been threatened by:

Saxons

Magyars

Picts

Ostrogoths

Huns

Anyone recall anymore? I started writing them down during this one game when Barbarians were everywhere.

They are listed in city.txt

Huns
Visigoths
Ostrogoths
Sueves
Angles
Saxons
Franks
Jutes
Burgundians
Avars
Vandals
Alans
Bulgars
Magyars
Frisians
Picts
Langobardi

Thanks.

Never looked there.


Kind of a Euro-centric list.

Can these be changed like Civ names can be in the Rules Txt. ?

Yes, I don't remember where they are exactly (not Rules.txt, though), but you can change them and many other things.

As Smash said, in city.txt, and it's just as editable as the city names. I don't think you can use 17 (which seems to determine how many names there are on the list?), but maybe you'd have to change it if you add names. Someone else maybe know what it really does.
