Fully changing the name of a faction?

[Pious Agnost]

I don't know about you, but I preferred calling Novgorod, the Russians... I would also like to rename a few other factions like the Byzantines, the Papal States, Spain and maybe the Egyptians

[Cooltosha]

That would rock so much, for example, I have seen a mod, I think it's something like Total War eras (I just quick passed through it) has renamed factions completely and accurately, even in their native language, so Turks are Osmani Imparatoroglu, Byzantines are Basileia ton Romaion, French are Royaumme Francais or something, Danish are Danmarks Koningen, Germans are Heilige Romische Reich etc.

This would be awesome for SS and even could be better to be done in-game, like if you take Rome as Byzantines you could rename yourself to Imperium Romanum, and similar, like Venetians could rename themselves Latin Empire if they capture Constantinople.

Indeed it would, but you can change the name to a certain extent from the faction window (Click the symbol of your faction on campaign map) then simply click on your faction name and change it to what you wish, but I'd like to know how to make it so that, should I put my cursor over a Novgorod port, it would have "Russian Port"

The whole game is in english so there's no point in translating only faction names. Unit names are in english too, so are buildings, most cities, buildings, regions and so on. Just changing the name to something long isn't much difference.

You don't roleplay, do you?

The file you want is expanded.txt in the Stainless_Steel\data\text folder. Although why you'd want to change Novgorod to Russia is beyond me

[delra]

Maybe try Novgorodskaya respublika.

[Pious Agnost]

Yeah, why would I change it to Russia... Soviet Union is so much more comical thanks all

[delra]

I'd rename it to "China". When Mongols come they will look at road signs saying China, stop and say:

"WTF we already conquered this, you have us running in circles Batu!!!" and "I told you we should have taken a right turn after Samarkand!!!".

Just instruct your peasants to never give them directions towards Kiev or Novgorod and send them south to Persia instead.
