    Default Unique names and desriptons for buildings

    I am planning to do a submod that gives unique names and description to building in every faction, that would give more of a Tolkin lore feel and maybe improve gaming experience.
    For example for Mordor instead of a pleasure place there can be grand torturing pits, because I cant quite imagine orcs in a brothel. And Rohan could have unique stables, Silvan elves instead of an in can have a woodland grove, ect...
    You're suggestions are welcome!
    With the help of A1_unit, now every faction can be done separately:
    Progress:
    Mordor: 100% done
    OotMM:30% done
    Isenguard:25% done
    Dwarves: 90% done
    High Elves: 0% done
    Silvan Elves: 0% done
    Eriador: 0% done
    Dale: 0% done
    Rohan: 0% done
    Gondor: 30% done
    Harad: 50% done
    Run: 5% done
    I didn't want to post this but since it's going to be a while till the submod's going to be released, here it goes.
    What do you think of this idea?
    For example I changed the town hall name in the orc factions to chieftains hut and I translated it to Black speech with the help of a lore-wise site to Grat Dār witch means chieftains hut.
    I've done this to all the other buildings in dwarven and orc factions and plan to do it to the elven ones too.

    So, what do you think of this idea?

    Sure, if you're doing it for yourself anyway, I'd be interested in downloading it.
    It would make each faction seem more unique.

    Ok. It seams that there are a lot of interests in this.
    I will need a clean export_buildings.txt.
    Now I will ask KK for permision to do this.

    once again, we have never restricted any sub-modifications, except those that involve 3D models.

    So, you don't have to ask for permission for things like that.

    Thread moved to sub-mods...

    Yes it would! I'll make a version compatible with his submod if he gives permission.

    This is definitely a very good idea for a sub-mod. It certainly belongs to the "must be added to TATW by default if the end result is as great as the idea" category, along with Unique Buildings by axnsan, and Visual Enhancement by Louis Lux (except for that main menu screen )

    Having said that.. Maggot vendor? Human flesh merchant??? OMG

    Edit: To clarify my dislike of Louis Lux's main menu screen - I dislike watercolors, and I also think that a hand-painted picture does not fit with the rest of the visual aspects of the mod. Also, it's a rather.. happy.. picture (I'm talking about the colors), again compared to the mod's darker mood. Other than that, I think it's fairly good.

    A moment of insanity...
    Didn't know what was I thinking...
    Have a monstrous hangover...
    As for the Maggot vendor, orcs didn't really had a taste for good food, they ate everything even maggots.
    But please recommend something else. I really need suggestions.

    I can't think of anything proper for an Orc market - the very idea of Orcs trading seems really funny to me. But I would suggest something more generic, because I can't imagine a Maggot Vendor trading in silk/wine/furs etc.. Would be a pain to decide on how many worms are worth a bottle of good red wine

    Seriously though, in the same way we have Markets instead of Food Merchants or Wine Vendors for the humans, we should have something equally generic for the Orcs. I really can't think of a name though.

    Slave fields sound good for farms. As for merchants, maybe something like the dark lords gift shop. where he gives out lots of treasure in exchange for mere trifles that he fancies. Or what about the morrannon mafia, ar the black gate market. orcs weren't too different from criminals.
