    Icon5 Rome 2 - Settlement Renaming Mod

    Greetings,
    I've noticed that, in many campaign based mods, the modder is able to rename the settlements. I'll find an example if needed, later. But is there any way I can rename my settlements? My guess is, most likely it is a mod, if not, please refer me to the right source.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Authentic Ancient World is working on the most extensive renaming of all Settlements and Regions yet, also on a new map. But until we are ready to release it I can give you this:

    http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=232609104&searchtext=better+settlements


    http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...er+settlements

    If you want to mod them you need to search for the db files:

    text > db > regions.loc / provinces.loc / start_pos_settlements.loc

    If you want to mod them you need to search for the db files:

    text > db > regions.loc / provinces.loc / start_pos_settlements.loc there you can change the names of the cities, Since you are new on TWC I assume you never modded. This is a total different story. You can learn modding here, the necessary tools are also to be found there (in your case its simply PFM (Pack File Manager)): http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forum...me-II-Workshop

    If you havent modded other games so far and are completely neew to modding than you can use this overview guide for novice modders: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post13924502

    local_en_Rome2.pack is the default game folder for it. but you want to create a new pack file and import the original files to your newly created pack file and edit them there. you don't want to edit the native files.

    It won't let me save the native pack , unless if it's a mod or movie. Do I make a seperate mod on it's own then?

    Create your own mod, than add the necessary tables from the native file. you do never edit the native files.

    I am unable to find the creative assembly kit, it just doesn't show up in the tools. I even tried it on a retail version , and that's another problem, it can't connect to steam, and can't get the Assembly Kit. Are there any off steam links?

    you are definitely if you have problems you should regularly take a look in the workshop tutorials and resources forum. I also posted you the modding guide for novices which has some awesome tutorials in there for good learning.
