Staraja Lagoda

[BenZL43]

I was playing by the Conquest Map in the original CityNameManager.py and I found something a bit odd but interesting...

Staraja Lagoda​

In Viking's Conquest entry,
When they control Staraja Lagoda, the name will change to either Aldeigjuborg or Kiev (?)
Historically, its Aldeigjuborg...

Here, the part on the CNM

Spoiler :

elif (iNewOwner == iVikings):
if (sName == 'Byzantion' or sName == 'Constantinopolis' or sName == 'Konstantinoupolis' or sName == 'Istanbul' or sName == 'Konstantinopel' or sName == "Konstantinopol'" or sName == "Car'grad" or sName == 'Stambul'):
city.setName('Miklagard', False)

elif sName == 'Gothenburg':
city.setName('Göteborg', False)

elif (sName == 'Dublin' or sName == 'Áth Cliath'):
city.setName('Dubh Linn', False)

elif sName == 'Staraja Lagoda':
city.setName('Aldeigjuborg', False)

elif (sName == 'Nowgorod' or sName == 'Novgorod'):
city.setName('Holmgård', False)

elif sName == 'Staraja Lagoda':
city.setName('Kiev', False)

Also I wonder... Who built Staraja Lagoda ? As long as I remember, there is no entries like that for any Civs...

It's actually Ladoga.

Wiki:

And yeah, I dunno what Kiev is doing here.

 

[corovanrobber]

there's a rename for aldeigjuborg into staraja ladoga for russians (the opposite never works due to typo)
lol ladoga is one bugged city

 

[BenZL43]

Wow yeah..
You made me found another one..
This one, on Russian Conquest Civs

Spoiler :

elif sName == 'Aldeigjuborg':
city.setName('Staraja Ladoga', False)

So, first, there is a city called Staraja Lagoda, and if conquered by Viking, it will rename to Aldeigjuborg or Kiev.
If Russia conquer Aldeigjuborg, probably from Viking, the name will be Staraja Ladoga
If Viking reconquer Staraja Ladoga, the name will still be Staraja Ladoga, not Aldeigjuborg, because name Aldeigjuborg will only spawn if the city name is Staraja Lagoda

Hmm..
Still strange for me lol
Yeah, I've checked Wikipedia before post here. But I don't realize its -doga, not -goda lol

Also, there are duplicate lines in Arabian when they spawn "Kem Kasir" as city name

Or what Dubh Linn is doing there. The Norse equivalent is Dyflinn.

Yeah..
IIRC, Dubh Linn is Celtic, right ? *CMIIW
Do you find any other false transliteration like this ?
Gotta tell Science_Rules to be fixed in the UCNM
