New Continent Names Better Names 1.1

[PonderThis]

PonderThis submitted a new resource:

New Continent Names (Reloadable) - New Continent Names from Amber to Zinaida.

There are too many default continent names in Civ VI that sound far too similar to one another. Like my New Continent Names mod, this replaces all of them. Unlike the older mod, this mod uses a list of names taken from existing Civ text entries so that if you reload in mid-game you don't lose the text of the continent names.

Using what I considered the most "continenty-sounding" entries from...

Any chance you can come up with more realistic type names, I mean ones that would actually be used. Zounds, nah, wouldn't occur most likely never. I understand these are ones you choose, that is cool but I want to see names from our history used instead. That makes much more sense to me, there are plenty that were overlooked when they designed the game.

I for one love what you are trying to do, I am making these suggestions in hopes you adopt them and perhaps more people will enjoy the added names. Peace and great idea!!

@PonderThis In the other thread, I mentioned that it would be interesting to expand the list of continents by having them named after Greek letters, such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, all the way to Omega. This way, there would be 50 unique continent names and would maintain the same alphabet-based theming.

Well this mod is all about finding text from within the standard game files so that if you reload mid-game, as I often do (man, I'm still mis-calculating where I can move units and blowing past "eureka points" in the research tree and having to double back) the game can find the text entries. I hope Firaxis will fix the bug where custom text is lost on reload but for now this is a good solution.

Oddly enough, Enlightened Fox, I find myself liking these names better because they sound more "continenty". Maybe that is because historically we've given continents names taken from people's names -- Europe comes from the goddess "Europa", and America, of course, comes from that shameless self-promoter Amerigo Vespucci.

As for y'all's other points I'll head over to the other mod.

PonderThis updated New Continent Names Better Names with a new update entry:

Renamed Mod and Changed One Name

1. Renamed mod as noted on the main description page.
2. Changed first entry from "Amber" to "Agacia" to be more "continenty".

Despite having two sets of names available, there seems to still be people that just don't like the names I've selected. Well, fair enough. To me, the important thing was just that the names were easily distinguishable. The specific names weren't so important. However, some recent comments over on Steam got me thinking about it so I wrote a utility that will allow you to enter your own names, the Civ VI Continent Names Editor.

If you decide to give it a try, you'll want to delete this version of the mod first. Otherwise you'd have both of them installed and you'd have to make sure only one was enabled in the game itself and if you forgot there's no telling which one Civ would load.
