General Names

[Kaiserina Kratos]

Could someone so kind hearted make a mod that adds more variety to the names of generals enlisted for the campaign? Because in my current Oda campaign, I have 12 generals and 4 of them are from the Oda Clan Tree, 2 of them are Takeyama, 2 are Toyotomi, and 4 are from the Akechi Clan. In my opinion, the game lacks variety when it comes to general's family names appropriate for each clan. I want to have my generals to come from different families/clans. Why can't I have Shibata, Mori, and Maeda? Having 4 Akechi Generals serving me is plainly boring (not to mention unsettling that one may eventually betray me at Honnoji )

So is it possible? Is it? Is it?

Since I know your using PFM and modding. Why not edit those names?
You can edit names by looking at these inside the "data.pack"

names_forts
names_groups
names_royalty
names

And if you want to have idea on Japanese general names, I suggest looking at "Sengoku Basara", "Samurai Warriors", "Way of the Samurai", or "Tenchu". Those are games from different consoles, although they can give you an idea in naming your generals by the way

Oh thank you, I found them on names_tables! Thank you very much. Just a little change and I might be able to bring in more names for recruited generals. Merci beaucoup!

I have the same problem as you do. I have tried changing things, though I would prefer adding new names to the various clans rather than changing them. Does anyone know if it is possible to add new names to shogun 2 using the assembly kit tools?

I believe changing the names in names_table.db is not going to work using pack file manager, but you can try changing names in en_loc and loc.pack. But I'm not sure. You should check around. There are tutorials in the forums somewhere. You might want to pm the creator of "Sekigahara Campaign". He managed to do it.
