    Default Is it possible to change the name of a faction yet?

    I've looked around alittle in the packs and though I be a noob it seems the place that I would suspect it to be are not assessible yet. I also looked around the forum to see if this has been covered yet, and I havent seen this specifically addressed. If this is somewere around here in the forum I apologize.

    I am trying to change the names of a couple of factions.

    patch_en (or patch_XX, with XX being your language's abbreviation)

    You want text\localisation.loc

    Ive found all the enteries in location.loc. It appears that they are adjectives of what appears onscreen. I have also found some files that give me an error message saying that these files are not accessable yet. They are in the main pack I believe, so I guess I may just have to wait.

    there are faction-adjectives and faction-names in the Localisation.loc. To change the On-Screen-Name you need to change the faction names (they sure are in this file, as i already did such changes....)

    I was wondering about this too, I have tried to change some faction names, but cannot seem to get it to work.

    Here is what I did:
    - Exported the text directory containing localisation.loc and ui.loc from local_en.pack using Pack manager.
    - Imported the files into a new pack containing nothing but text/localisation.loc and text/ui.loc and saved the pack as a mod pack.
    - Tried launching through Mod manager: no in-game change; confirmed that the user-script file was properly set up. I could detect no errors, nor are there any error messages. Faction names remain unchanged in both campaign and custom battles.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The mod functionality doesn't seem to work with .loc files. You'll have to modify patch_en.pack directly, I'm afraid--that's what I had to do in order to get name changes to work.
