    Default Facing a few problems

    I recently modded my game so that poland wasnt named poland, and that worked. But when i click on my units it still says Polish _________. The next thing i tried to do was to change the name of all my units, and now it doesnt display names. Can anyone help me
    Also, the only file i have used is the expanded.txt and the descr_strat files.

    Check through your expanded file for entries with POLAND, these capitalized words are usually in between the parentheses. Do not change anything in between there! Only change the portion on the right hand side - this text will be displayed.
    You should find about 25-30 lines.
    There is no need to change anything in the descr_strat if you want to change the name of your faction. Expanded is sufficient.
    the only exceptio would be if a units name is: "Polish Hussar" - that you can change in data\text\export_units

    Keep in mind: left side in parenthesis = do not touch, these are the games pointer\links

    THank you, I did that, but my characters still dont have names. I changed them in the descr_strat document, do I have to change any other documents?

    Names are allocated by faction and gender in the data\descr_names file (no special characters!).
    The data\text\names file is one of those with the parenthesises, enter new names here (no special character in the parenthesises!)
    The name in the descr_strat file has to be from the correct faction (and gender) in descr_names

    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
