I'm happy to annouce the collaboration of the Character Names Project (CNP) and LTC on upcoming LTC releases! In case you aren't aware of CNP's work yet, we are an international group of TWC members working to overhaul all of MTW2's character names lists so that they are as historically correct as possible. A secondary goal is to increase the number of names in each list, therefore creating a more diverse character (specifically family) tree in a MTW2 campaign. This is being done to address the problem of vanilla MTW2 having names lists which contained errors of all varieties, and the problem that they contained too few names.
At the moment the CNP mod is in a beta phase. I'd like to have willing LTC fans help beta test the CNP files with their next campaign. Potential bugs are confined to a few "nameless" characters, and nothing more (that we are aware of). Installation is a snap, involving only two files.
So, get ahead of the game, and help us in the final testing of the CNP mod v 1.0 in preparation for its coming integration with LTC. The following factions have completely new character names:
HRE, England, France, Venice, Sicily, Spain, Portugal, Hungary. In the next few weeks I'll be adding Byzantines, Papal States, Poland, Denmark, so keep an eye out for them.
Please leave comments, suggestions or bug reports in this thread or on the CNP forum.
Many thanks, and enjoy!
