Changing city names

[Shaun]

No, this thread is not about asking how to change city names - if I wanted to know that, I would have posted in the mod threads. So, I have been playing my Kingdoms expansion pack, with the Americas campaign as New Spain. When I conquer cities, I notice that some of them change names. Not only when I conquer them, but when the French conquer them as well. Example: Louisiana now exists, Fort Caroline as well, along with several other Spanish city names that I cannot remember. However, all had native sounding names before.

Does anyone have a list of what cities change names to what, and if it differs from faction to faction (like if the English capture a city it will be called an English name, the Spanish a Spanish name and so on)?

From the campaign_script

[Spurius]

Has anyone tested if their renaming *back* when natives retake it works OK? I get a hunch it doesn't, since there's some reported 'hangs', could be related.

[finneys13]

Yes, it works, Fort Caroline - Calusa went from me (Apache) -> France -> again me without any problems

[Spurius]

OK, thanks for ruling that out.

[B. Ward]

nice....sweet feature

[tehhaxxor23]

yea, it's a neat addition.

would be cool if you were able to rename cities in general tho on the campaign screen.

[Emperor Raven]

I think you can (at least I did that to Constantinople in Crusades, changed it to Byzantium) just click the city so the building browser comes up, double click the settlement name on the scroll and you should see a cursor. Hit back backspace or delete and the letters should delete, then just type in the name you want to rename the city.

[Halie Satanus]

I would have posted in the mod threads.

And I would have moved you to the workshop.

[CtrlAltDe1337]

This is cool. I would love this in all campaigns, but it would be a load of work to write all those scripts for every settlement.

[Yoda Twin]

This was in the greek mod for Civ 4. nice feature

[Johan217]

I had the feeling that certain settlements had changed names. Now I know my eyes haven't been deceiving me
