    Default Multiple Cognomens?

    Cognomen: The Romans had a practice of awarding cognomen, or nicknames, to men who had accomplished something of significance. Roman commanders can now earn various cognomen for winning heroic victories against certain factions, or for carrying out successful campaigns. These cognomen include: Africanis, Britanicus, Gallicus, Germanicus, Parthicus, Graecus, Aegyptiacus.

    It says nothing about having multiple Cognomen so i was just wondering if it possible. For example, a general of mine from a while back was Julius Germanicus, afterwards he was shipped to North Afrika, so theoretically could he be Julius Germanicus Africanis?

Every operation was unique; no two were ever quite the same. However, the underlying every Campaign and battle were certain fundamental, which were applied according to circumstances.

    A new cognomen will always replace an old one, so you can never have two at the same time.

    So instead his full name would change from Julius Germanicus to Julius Africanis?

    Correct. It can be quite annoying when your faction leader loses a really good cognomen like "the Great" for something lame like "the Killer".

    Can you ~ cheat in a cognoman?
    Can you ~ cheat a name too?
    Can you ~ in ancillaries and traits?

    IF the answers are yes than I could make a Gaius Julius Caesar!!! =

    Not sure about that. There are script commands to add traits and ancilaries, but I'm not sure if they work from the command prompt.

    It's possible to use the RomeShell (~) to grant both traits and ancillaries to characters, and as certain traits grant certain cognomen and titles, that's possible, but names are not.

    Speaking of cognomen, are there any plans to give the Romans three names instead of two? Like how the surname 'Brutus' will become 'Junius Brutus', so that 'Marcus Brutus' becomes 'Marcus Junius Brutus'. To my knowledge I think RTR or one of its submods do that.
