Unique Names

[mechaerik]

Ive always been a fan of Dynamic Civ Names, but i think some of the names get a tad dull after a while (possibly too similar). So Ive decided to make a whole slew of civ unique names. These are all the names Ive assembled, but Im sure there are many more to be found, and some of the ones ive found could be better. So i have decided to enlist CFC.


Notes:
I'm trying to avoid dynastic names.
"<-TBI" simply means I havent put that name into the game yet.
I added new civics module I made that added one (1) new civic to each category.
Some of the names where pillaged shamelessly from RFC.
"Junta" means under Police State AND in the lower half of the scoreboard. (currently the trigger code isnt working for some reason)
When I put "Republic", it means both Representation and Universal Sufferage trigger the name.

Names I have, divided by civ:

I noticed that Holy Rome was missing on your list of civs. So here are some additions to Germany:

Holy Roman Empire (Hereditary Rule and Theocracy/Organized Religion)

 

[mechaerik]

Just because they're not listed doesn't mean I removed them, it just means I have nothing for them.

But that reminded me that I did have something for Holy Rome, I just forgot it. Added

I dont know how old you are, but if you were alive during "Reagan's America" you'll remember all the paranoia and "ooh the Russians are gonna get us!" mentality. There was a TV show I had to watch in 7th or 8th grade called "Amerika" in faux Cyrillic with the "r" reversed I think, about the Communist take over of America. It would of course be "The Glorious People's Republic of Amerika" or the "Union of Soviet Socialized Amerikan States" or the something along those lines.

Good luck to you, seems like you have a lot of imagination!

 

[civgenius]

Ideas:

Aztec becomes Mexico at industrial

New Roman Empire (Roman industrial if more than 10 cities, otherwise it is Italy)

Also, leaders should change names too.

 

[Thomas SG]

Have a look at the Community Civ V. Everything is already in there.

Im only 17, so no, I dont remember Reagans America. I think I prefer the cliche USSA though.

Very few of these names are of my own creation (I think only United State of America, but thats hardly very creative); some are pillaged from RFC, most are based on the names of some actual political parties or movements, and some (Airstrip One, holy britannian empire, novaya russia) are based on various fictional sources. All are from the interwebs.

Aztec becomes Mexico at industrial

New Roman Empire (Roman industrial if more than 10 cities, otherwise it is Italy)

Also, leaders should change names too.

1) im not entirely sure. i dont really want to change the Maya either. Although their unique names are both inspired by Mexico and guatemala, respectively (just like the Incas are inspired by Peru).

2) Interesting idea.

3) A little beyond the scope of this project though.

Have a look at the Community Civ V. Everything is already in there.

I just checked, but CCV doesnt have unique names on this scope. Unless you were talking about civgeniuses leader-changing suggestion.

 

[mechaerik]

I have now added the unique rebel names I have to the first post.

Although the regular Unique Names is pretty well fleshed out, the Rebel names aren't. There are only a handful of them.

Also, I'm thinking about whether I should change the names to be "Noun of [Short Description]" rather than "[Adjective] Noun" (ie, Shofetate of Carthage and Caliphate of Arabia rather than Carthaginian Shofetate and Arabian Caliphate). Which would be better?

 

[The Capo]

Did you actually get this to work? I have been trying to add it to my mod.

Also Thomas SG, what's up with you not answering my PMs man?

 

[mechaerik]

I just gave up trying to extract Dynamic Civ Names and used RevDCM as a base (if thats what you're asking). Afterwards, I opened the DynamicCivNames.py file and mass deleted most of the sections that handled what name was given. Then I began to rewrite it with new names and a different hierarchy- first, it checks if you are a vassal. Then it checks if you are theocratic, then if you have 1 city, then for Communism, Corporatocracy (a new civic), Nationhood, then by government type.

DCN already had a system in place for unique names like Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Third Reich, and a few others, which involved checking whether a word (like Russian or German) was in the civ's Adjective. Its pretty simple to make a name unique to certain civs just by running this additional check.

Portugese Ditadura Nacional

It should be Ditadura Nacional Portugesa!

 

[mechaerik]

Or should it be Estado Novo Portuguesa?

And what about Carnation Portugal for a State Property republic? And Portuguese Salvation Junta for a State Property Junta?
