    Default Character names

    The roman names, in the game, are made up of three different strings.

    I've not quite been able to figure out what decides which string is assigned the praenomen, nomen and cognomen though. Looking at the text file, you have stuff like Lucius and Marcus in one place, but then right below that comes stuff like Afranius and Africanus.

    Another place got more common names like Cornelius and Julius, and then an entirely different section with stuff like Scipio and Caepio.

    However, before I start editing, I'd love to know if anyone knows whether there is any knowledge of where the files that assigns the different strings to the various faction characters is located?

    Well, Lucius and Marcus would be praenomen, Cornelius and Julius = nomen, Scipio and Caepio = cognomen and I should think Afranius and Africanus would be examples of agnomen (which some, but not all, Romans have).

    There's clearly something wrong with the way the game pulls the names as, although they always seem to appear in the correct order, I've noticed characters rarely belong to their correct gens. IIRC at the start there are 2 guys with the nomen Cornelius in the available generals pool, yet neither are actually considered part of the Cornelia family. Would certainly be good to find a way to fix this.

    Bump for obvious reasons.
