Is it possible to mod the Family Names?

[Espadas:Benson]

playing in late england, the royal family is known as Plantagenet. Is it possible to make it so that Planagenet is the royal last name in the Early campaign? I know it might be A historical, i just want my english guys to have last names 0.0 Also i have had kings named gayelord and william clinton..... is it possible to change the actual names of my characters?

All help is apreciated

You can do it before the campaign starts, but I think after it is started, you are stuck.

Find descr_strat.txt in Medieval II Total War\mods\SS 6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign , Ctrl+F to the english characters (I don't remember their names, so you have to find them by yourself) and add Plantagenet in every general's name.

edit: I found something, search for
character Robin, general, male, age 20, x 68, y 213 ;Winchester

Oh, also it may get removed when you switch the files to Late Era, I am not quite familiar with the new sub-mods software.

I did what you said, but when i try to start an early era campaign, nothing happens, i just get redirected to the main page

Try this

Put it in Data/World/Campaigns/Imperial Campaign

If it doesn't work, let me know.

Hi all!
I thought a "hello" would suit my first post ever. ;-)

I am having kind of the same problem as Espadas:Benson had described. Yesterday I changed character names or ages, and added some more children to the family trees in descr_strat. I was carefully changing the file - but still, after I saved and try to start a new game with any faction it only brought me back to the main menu, just as Benson had described.
@Polydamas: As it seems your txt file is working, any suggestions or hints on how to do it? I am a bit concerned as I was ending up installing SS from scratch yesterday...

Thanks,
ilokrutz

Yeah I did this on 6.1 but you must add your name in various files.
