Changing Region Names

[Pocus]

Beginning with the next patch of each game (AGE engine, no third parties, Delphi is powerful but don't reach that far ), you will be able to alter the display names of each region by simply tweaking the LocalStrings file of the game.

The keys to add must have this format 'RegionName' + UID of the region.


So:

RegionName0, RegionName1, RegionName2, ...

By RegionName I really mean this string, and not the old region name. So no 'Cap Breton0' here...

In the cells of each language, put the name you want. It will appears in-game.

The feature will need a bit more of testing from the core team of modders, but at worst it will not have any side effect if not used. It appears to work well though

To clarify, we only need the strings that we wish to change, not all?

Anyway, I will put these strings in for next patch using current names, so the modders of WIA will have them there to use

Does this screenshot look correct?

This is very good news, and something I know a lot of people will appreciate quite a good deal; nice work!

I'll be pleased to have chance to test it over Germany 1813 Hist. mod.
Is there any beta-patch to be downloaded?

As Pocus stated... It will be in the next patch of each game as they are released. You can search the specific game forums for official patches and/or public beta patches released after the date of this announcment. Public Beta patches are generally announced in the "Help to Improve..." section of each dedicated game forum.

Indeed I was looking to some beta patch not yet official!
Ready to try it!

I would suggest you start compiling a list of region names to be changed and post queries for other NCP gamers to comment on. Get a consensus on the required regional names to be changed, then we can process them systematically.

It has been done:

I sent ThilPhib, copy of Cities 1813 excel file I edited for 1813 Hist. Mod......
At that time I was unaware of this last modding chance!
