Question: Pool of cities all civ's pull from

[dtumacder]

I just wanted to know if there was a way to do this, or a mod component out that did this already. It looks like you need to define a pool of city names for each individual leader.

I would like a list of cities for an entire map and each one is given in the order it is taken.

What I would do is make a "city" civ. It would be unplayable for AI and Human players and have nothing but city names. Then delete all other city names (or keep the capital cities). When the city autonamer thingy can't find any more cities for a perticular civ it will take it from a random civ. If the "city" civ is the only civ with city names, then it will take it from there. I'm not sure if it will be in order, though.

oh excellent, that is what I needed. So that will mean if, say I have a civ that will have its own list, and the rest of the civs go froma pool using this method won't be possible, correct?

actually after some thinking this method might not work. Basically this is for the Dune mod I'm working on. I am going to need two pools. One pool, the Fremen civ and Fremen barbarians will pull from, these will be the desert cities or Sietches. The other pool will be for everyone else, the basin cities.

or better yet have it based on geography. If a city is built in the desert it pulls from the "Sietch" city name pool. If a city is built in the basins it pulls from the basin city names pool.
