Renaming Foreign Civs Midgame

[Kweeky]

Is it possible to rename civilizations (other than your own) during the game (obviously it's possible by renaming the Civs in the WBS file), but I'm wondering if it is possible to say change the name of say Russia into the U.S.S.R. in 1917 for example

Just curious really, this isn't a mod request - just I'm tired of having civs such as Persia/Aztec in the modern game

 

[sennomulo]

I agree. It is a bit odd that I usually see a Roman Empire with control of just the Italian peninsula up to the end of the game. To me, that civ ought to be called Italy.

 

[a1Basco]

though having Persia in the modern era isn't that strange.... Iran was called Persia up until 1935....

You want to get technical though, the place has had many name changes...

Hell, I know it's probably incorrect, but I still call people from Iran Persians. O.o

 

[sennomulo]

I call them Iranians, but I still speak of the Persian language and the Persian Gulf.

 

[Thonnas]

I'm pretty sure Persian is an ethnic heritage, where as Iranian is more of a Nationality. Most likely, calling an Iranian a Persian would not be wrong, although not all Iranians are necessarily ethnically Persian.

 

[Kweeky]

Ugh. Why did I have to mention Persia?

If Roman Empire falls Italy is represented by Independents.

Italy in the renaissance is the independents ( a lot of lesser nations here and there ), and a Roman Empire reborn ( in my opinion ) is the state in the 19 century...

I now that there is a mod that change the civs name depending in their civics, maybe we can mod it, that if Rome uses Police State or Universal Sufragge it is called Italy, or if Germany uses Vassalage its name is Holy Roman Empire, etc...

Does anyone know where i can download this mod? ( i know that this mod exists, though ).

That's actually a wicked way to do it

I wish I knew as it sounds absolutely awesome! gieb modcomp!

 

[The M'Hael]

What about Aztecs not using slavery, they turn to Mexico? Or the Babylonians become Iraq? Persia becomes Iran. Carthage becomes Tunisia. Maya becomes Panama. Khmer becomes Cambodia. Inca to Peru?

That would be very awesome

Here is one I found: Dynamic Civ Names

Someone in that thread states that Zebra 9 is working on a version where civs just change names over time.

It is not that hard really, Instead of requiring Civics, we could tie it to turn numbers, just like the leaderheads changing...

There also has to be a way to get your civ name and leader to change. I think it is possible.

There are a lot of interesting ideas in that thread. Read them all!

Please, please don't compare Italy to Rome (sorry Rhye).

 

[Nerva]

I'd like to see the Roman Empire conquer the eastern Med and split in half, with the eastern half being the Byzantine Empire.

I'm also curious why the USA is required to kick the Brits out of Canada.

I don't think they were suggesting that Italy is like the Roman Empire, just that the in RFC, a resurrected Rome acts like unified Italy: it controls the Italian peninsula and maybe a few colonies. So it would be better if they could be called Italy instead of Rome.

United Italy isn't resurrected Rome. Personally I wouldn't like to see Roman Italy in RFC. Same thing is about few other nations (Aztecs=Mexica=/=Mexico). If it would be possible to change names after resurrection it would be OK, but now :/

why it OUGHT to be ? If Persia conquered Greece and Rome, but then it got its butt kicked by Turkey and Arabia and loose everything but the italian peninsula, it should be renamed to Italy ? Why ????
For Italy to exist, an entirely new civ should be made, even resurrection wouldn't work because Italy would need different UB, different UU, different leader, different city names... I mean there's nothing in common except the spawn area.

I or IIWW infantry as a UU!

Byzantine with just Egypt.Rome without Rome.Carthage without Carthage.
Civs changing names whenn they incorporate some areas would be interesting. Khmer conquers India= Indo- Khmer Empire? England+France= Anglo- Frankish Empire?

Not this mod- stability would be so low that nations like that couldn't exist

I don't remember Roman-Carthaginian-Greek-Egyptian Empire or Spanish-Dutch Empire.
