Renaming Captured Settlements

[Cleitanious]

Anyone else do this?

As England, my Conquering King died shortly after the capture of this Moorish Castle, in his honor the castle was named after him. Apparently, hundreds of years later, a plastic wrap brand was also named after him, lol.

is it possible??
if my emperor is soo famous and stuff?

[Cleitanious]

What do you mean "is it possible"? Of course it's possible. :p

Just click the text in the "Settlement Overview" window and start typing...

I also rename my settlements to include what type of settlement they are in the name. Like Nottingham is now called "Fortress Nottingham" etc.

ohhoo thnks for the enlightment i will sure do that

I do usually rename Constantinople when capturing it. Either into Byzantium or Istanbul. For purpose of other settlements, only when I think there's a good Dutch name for it. But usually Dutch doesn't change names.

[Cleitanious]

The English came up with new names for everything, so I figure it's only fitting. Maybe I'll start using the names they named the colonies.

In RTW it could screw up scripts so I learned not to use this feature at all...

I wouldn't rename stuff if you are running the Basiliea ton Romaion submod. It relies on specific settlement names for the historic events that occur. Not sure if renaming them in the game will stuff up the script or whether the campaign script can still see the original names. But better to be safe than sorry

I better watch my step - in my Mongol campaign, I've been re-naming like no ones business - cities named after the conquerer etc etc

How about the Battle for the Baltics-Submod?????

Nope you should be fine. But if you rename Novgorod I'm gonna have to hunt you down!

Up to now I never went that far east, but as you mention it, I will and rename it Neustadt for the TO. I think Novgorod means New City which Neustadt does as well.

And now, catch me if you can...

[Sargon_of_Akkad]

I tend to be wildly mature about this sort of thing, and go out of my way to capture Jerusalem, Constantinople, Mecca and Medina as variants on the name "Penisland".

I freaking hate religious zealotry!

Hmmm, I removed the Bulgar Uprising and Fourth Crusade events from my campaign script...does that put me in the clear?

But...but...all my hard work.... If memory serves you should be ok. But don't forget changes to the script aren't savegame compatible

[Gnostiko]

Awwww, I'm sorry, CC!
Don't worry, I intend to put them back in with slight modification; I just thought they were a little too specific in their historical details.

There's no such thing

[Lothe]

I like to rename settlements.

And yeah, I do occasionally name them after a general which I like.

[Gnostiko]

Lol, I meant I feel those two events were due to a set of circumstances far, far, far too unique to be able to accurately replicate. The tweaking I'm planning to do (if at all possible) is change the Bulgarian Uprising to occur when a) anyone has control of the trigger settlements, the garrisons drop to a certain level and taxes aren't lowered for x number of turns
and
b) change the Fourth Crusade event to only launch if the Romans are at war with Venice (I'm not sure if the event launches if the Venetians are destroyed?)

[Caesar Clivus]

(I'm not sure if the event launches if the Venetians are destroyed?)

Pretty sure I set it to check if the venetians were still alive...if not, well I meant to
