Suggestions for Dynamic Names

[yurisusuki]

How about named it Australia when England has its capital in Australia? and same as Canada, and Argentina, Chile, Columbia for Spain?
And what is more crazy, named it Uzbekstan when Russian has it capital in Samarkand.
Actually we do it for Portugal when its capital in Brazil.

I think better add Australia like Civ
And anothers too

It's also my opinion, but to add a new civ seems a little difficult, while just to add a dynamic name is easy.

I got an idea, if China is Han and it is collapses why don't make into 3 factions: Kingdom of Wei as the player who tries to unify and other two are Shu as the independent cities faction and Wu as an Barbarian faction. If Wei successfully unified China it could be called Jin Empire.

But if China collapses, there is no China ...

Maybe if china's stability reaches a certain point then have all that happen. Like when rome's stability is too low then it will split off into west and east.

Elaborating on the Indian broohaha further:

Tamils vassalized by England, India or Mughals-in-Delhi not present: British Raj.

Tamils vassalized by England, have India present or Mughals still in Delhi: Madras Presidency.

 

[Leoreth]

Currently vassal names are strictly dependent on master civ only with no other conditions, excepting the extra Nazi and Soviet names. So doing these would require a rewrite.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Then Madras Presidency will do fine.

I think British Ceylon would be a better name for Tamil if it is an vassal of England.

[Lone Wolf]

Tamils typically control more then just Ceylon.

Would "British Dravidistan" be out of the question?

I feel kinda weird bumping this thread, but I have a few more suggestions:
Spain, when a vassal of Phoenicia: Barcid Spain
Phoenicia, with capital in Iberia: Barcid Empire
Moors, when a vassal of Phoenicia: Barcid Andalusia
Portugal, when a vassal of Phoenicia: Barcid Portugal
Phoenicia, when capital in Iberia and Muslim: Barcid Caliphate
Phoenicia, when capital in Iberia and running democracy-like stuff: Barcid Republic
Phoenicia, when capital in Iberia and running communist-like stuff: Barcid People's Republic
Phoenicia, when capital in Iberia and running autocratic-like stuff: Barcid Junta

 

[Hightower]

Moors, when a vassal of Phoenicia: Barcid Andalusia

I'd go with "Barcid Tartessos" and just "Tartessos" if they're Greek vassals.

British Dravidistan or Dravida Nadu is good. +1 to that~

Sometimes the Spain will lose all of it's territory in Iberia because of war, and the capital will be at Buenos Aires or Manila.

If the capital is at Manila, how about copying Khmer's code of Dai Viet and name it Spanish East Indies?
Or perhaps just the generic Kingdom of Philippines is okay imo

That happened in the game I'm playing now. Even though Spain controls 2 other cities in Iberia, it's capital moved to Manila. It should probably get a different name in this case.

 

[BenZL43]

usually the capital will only move to Manila (or Buenos Aires or Ciudad Mexico) only if there is no city left in Iberia.. the same with Portugal.

 

[Leoreth]

The capital move algorithm doesn't prefer cities on the same continent, but it probably should.

It moves to the most populace one and disregards everything else (except maybe cities in revolt) AFAIK
