[Sub-Mod] Faction + Unit Names restored [English]

**Mavrik347** · March 13, 2014, 12:45 PM

After hours of typing, one highly frustrating power cut and probably contracting RSI; I've made a mod that reverts all unit names and faction names back to as they were in vanilla Rome and all new units are given Anglo/Traditional names like vanilla Rome has.

What I mean by traditional is that units like Perioikoi Pikemen (Greek troops) have not been translated, as they weren't in vanilla Rome. The same goes for Equites etc.

Latest version for :
DEI 1.05
08/07/2015

Features :
Restores Faction Names
Restores Unit Names

Installation :
Drop in your data folder and put above DEI in Mod Manager if you use it. Simples.

Steam Workshop :
DEI Faction + Unit Names restored [English]

Manual Download : (depreciated as of 1.03)
DEI Faction + Unit Names restored [English]

Thanks to JFC for something to work from.

This submod is now also available as part of the DeI Official Submod Collection on Steam.

No-one has replied to this yet?? Will give it a whirl mate and provide feedback!

Cheers

Update:

The mod works brilliant mate, I can now understand everything

,

However: People who want to use this mod must rename it from 'mod_dei_etc' to just '_dei_etc'; otherwise the game will not recognise the changes!

Ah that's a good point if you're not using the unofficial Mod Manager. I'll change that, thanks for the feedback.

Thanks! A great mod.

Hel ant get this mod to work. please post all installation instructions

Mavrik347, please accept my sincere thanks for creating this mod.

I've noticed that using the new 0.85 DEI release causes some problems when using the current version of your mod (i.e. new Macedonian horse units) and I really hope you can provide an update. If you won't then please let us know which files to edit so that we can do it ourselves.

**Mavrik347** · April 02, 2014, 12:50 PM

@Carlito you should be able to just drop it in your data folder and activate it in a mod manager.

@raystanz thanks for letting me know, I'll get this updated ASAP.

Thank you all for your comments, makes it worth it. The mod is on Steam under the same name and my name is the same on Steam if you can't find it.

Wohooo! Great work bro cheers. As much as i like the concept of using the actual names, it is really confusing when commanding your troops in battle. Hence this mod is brilliant. By the way, on your original post, create a link for the Steam Version too. To make it more accessible and known to players. Keep up the good work. Keep this updated ok.

On as side note, i would suggest creating a format similar to what default DEI has done with their unit descriptions. Example would be like this;

---------------------------------------------------------------
Greek Companion Cavalry
(Hetairoi)

Description of that unit here. blah blah blah talks about the unit
---------------------------------------------------------------

In this way we not only have their default English names but also their historical ones. Now im sure this is a rather difficult task, but it would increase immersion in my opinion.
Hasn't been updated for patch 0.85 ive noticed. Hope it gets updated soon.

**Mavrik347** · April 03, 2014, 11:32 AM

Updated for 0.85

@Xaero.xiii
There is a mod by JFC for that, but the names just get way too long and take up too many lines in my opinion so I stuck to English. The description is unchanged and often gives you the ancient name however.

Thanks for the quick update Mavrik, everything now appears to working great once again. I love DEI but being typically British I suck at understanding foreign languages and your mod is a godsend! :-)
