CA pls rename Budapest to Pest-Buda

[Febeo]

The name Budapest is only in use since 1873, when the 2 cities (actually three) were united. Before that, no one called the city Budapest. I dont know, how long does it take to CA to rename a capital, but I think they can do this big modificationtons to be more authentic.

I think you'll be able to rename cities yourself like it was in bi, so i see no problem here. the first thing i am going to do when i play as the turks is to give the turkish cities their turkish names like Iconium to Konya or Antioch to Antakya.

[Febeo]

OMG - I didn't know about that. That was one of the features I've always wanted to have in TW games. Thanks chgo.

[Lord Kal]

Yeah, how do you do it?

[Lusted]

You click on the city name in the settlement scroll, press delete, and type in your new name. Ca added the feature into Bi after the manual had been made.

[Matty_P]

wow, sweet revalation!

[GVP]

I can't belive I didn't know about renaming cities. Oh the shame.

If only the map and campaign was as easily editable. Great Revelation Lusted

Note: To change city names, the last line in preferences.txt has to be set to EDIT_SETTLEMENT_NAMES: TRUE.
In Medieval 2, it might still be necessary to edit a file first before changing the names.

[Matty_P]

i hope cicites are name editable. the polish town's i've seen are wildly incorrect as far as spelling. well, it's correct english, but...

[Burebista]

Remmber that Bucharest and Sofia is also there ... and they know exactly this is wrong and how easy it is to change (emailed them all) ... I've runned out of arguments.

[Arakorn]

You could do that? Wow, never knew!

Of course, you can always mod it... :wink:

[Scarlett Letterman]

So if its actually two separate cities, shouldn't you name either pest or buda, seeing as theirs only one city their?

[Matty_P]

well, they merged after a long period of growth and so forth...am i correct?

Actually they used to refer to them as separate towns. You can either go to Buda or go to Pest.


Still they call - for example - the "Fortress of Buda" not "Fortress of Budapest" or in hungarian *Budai Var - Built by Bela IV. after the mongolian invasion in the 13th century.


People living in Budapest are still considered as either "from Buda" or from "Pest". So regardless of the merge, people prefer to use either "Pesti" (*from Pest) or Budai (*from Buda) in hungarian. They use "Budapest -ian" when they want to be politically correct.

Buda is the hilly side, while Pest is the flat side, divided by Danube river.

[Tzar]

Yea It's two cities Pesta and Buda, I bolive Pesta is more importanat

[John I Tzimisces]

THis should be very easy to mod, even if you don't have the capability in MTW2 to rename cities.

In any case, as soon as an armenian faction is modded in, Constantinople is becoming "Bolis", mwahaa....

[PorT_Lobo]

Another major error from CA....

Anyway, nothing can beat give Navarra to Portugal....

[Speiz_Bankurt]

Well actually, it should just be Buda, as Pest was a smaller settlement back in those days and Buda was the capital city.

well, sort of correct, it was a settlement, but it wasn't that small.. Buda (namely) was founded on the "Buda rock" which is really a big hill. The Buda Castle is built on top of it.

Budapest's recorded history begins with the Roman town of Aquincum, founded around 89 AD on the site of an earlier Celtic settlement near what was to become Óbuda, and from 106 until the end of the 4th century the capital of the province of lower Pannonia. Aquincum was the base camp of Legio II Adiutrix. The area of Campona (today's Nagytétény) belongs to Buda as well. Today's Pest became the site of Contra Aquincum (or Trans Aquincum), a smaller sentry point.

Part of Aquincum (roman baths) ..or what is left over
