The "OMG! Look what happened!" Thread

[Linkman226]

PyScenario had a more interesting approach that could rename cities based on their location rather than their original name...

That way the player could even rename his towns to "Beverley Hills 90210" and a Spanish conquest would still trigger "Los Angeles"

The issue with that is that it doesn't make all too much historical sense. For example, the CityNameManager Thread created a native names for Aztecs/Maya/Inca all across the Americas, named after local tribes. For example, an Aztec city founded on Washington DC would be named Susquehannock. But I doubt that in real life, a conquering European force that captured this city would name it "Washington." They'd probably just Europeanize the name, to something like Susquehanna.

CityNameManager is considerably flawed, as far as the rename commands are concerned, when it comes to cities that are almost never settled.

Fortunately, we have a project to improve the CityNameManager.

Linkman,

Actually, there is a reason for this already. Take the Alexandria tile for example. If Egypt founds a city there, it's called Per-Wadjet, but although the city there would be called Alexandria when Greece founds there, on conquest it's renamed Buto. There are a lot more instances like this.

Precisely. Because a tile can represent more than one city. For example the Carthage tile is also Tunis if founded by Euro civs/ Arabia/ Turkey.

Oh I wasn't advocating anything - just mentioning that it would be nice to have the option

Now is a good time for "OH MY GAAAAWWWWD!" kid from Troll 2.

 

[Leoreth]

Which civ do you play in that game?

And blue marble looks good on RFC.

 

[SteveTR]

I think Portugal

 

[Ready_set_go]

I think Portugal

With a name I've never seen before for Portugal, only.

Maybe he changed the dynamic name.

 

[Gruekiller]

What is this. o.0

 

[Moshe Dayan]

It's the very rough cut of RFC Synthesis, so it's bound to have some weird stuff happening in it. Also, I added in the Improved Graphics modmod and changed the dynamic names of Portugal to Portuguese.

 

[Linkman226]

Oh, this is from Synthesis?

Thanks for posting this. I'll have to prevent such things from happening.

EDIT: Moshe, can you send me the files with the stuff you added? I'll include it in the next release.

It's too big to attach. Here.

 

[Linkman226]

Alright. Grazie.

EDIT: What's the difference between this and BlueMarble?
