Few Neat Things + Question

**Quentillius** · December 28, 2009, 05:24 PM

I noticed that in Third Age, you can change the name of towns, which is truly fantastic. For instance, playing as Harad and conquering Gondorian towns, you don't want such a Gondorian name, so you change to something more suitable to Harad. Very neat feature. Also, in a hotseat campaign, you can change the name of your actualy faction. So from High Elves to 'Elves of Rivendell' for instance. VERY nice.

Now, the question. I only found out about this recently, but you can give your ancillaries to other generals. Now, in Third Age, with rings and titles, it is a much more important feature. But I'm wondering, Elrond will die relatively soon, so I want to give a few of his VERY nice and important things to the heir. But this would require a lot of 'kerfuffle' and I'd rather not. Do things get passed down? When Elrond dies, will his heir for instance get 'Leader of the White Council' and the ring 'Vilya'?

1. That was also possible in Vanilla.
2. Yes they will be passed to his heir if he has space for more retinues. The maximum is 8.

Ok, brilliant. And I'm sure you can't change the name of towns in Vanilla, I tried and failed

Strange, for it works.

How can you change the name of settlements? Haven't treid it in Vanilla - didn't know it was possible. Sounds nice by the way...

**Seleukos_I.** · December 28, 2009, 05:53 PM

Double-click on the settlement, then on the name and then tip in the name you want it to have.

Thanks! Will try it next time I get to play some TA:TW again...

So not able to change townnames in TATW?

**Hermes Trismegistos** · December 29, 2009, 05:58 AM

Of course you are. It was only disussed if this was a new feature of TATW or if it had been in vanilla, and I said it was a new feature of the kingdoms campaigns.
