@Cephalophore: you definitely deserve credit! This is impressive!
The name changing is pretty straightforward and I usually add in the file guidance for modders to make their changes. Eg. in the script.txt you may find a Table of contents at the begining and then explanation.
See below examples of how to do it without religion concerns. You need to use the internal codes for factions.
Code:
;===============================================================================================
;======================================================================================================
;---- SETTLEMENTS CAPTURED & NAME CHANGES ----------------------------------------------
;======================================================================================================
; if you add a name in this script, remember to add it also in the expanded.txt (and leave the last line empty!)
; if you add a "historic_event" you must add the relevant entry in the "historic_events.txt"
; for some cities there's a special notification and pics used (see below eg Wroclaw) - this may be copied also to the other cities. However, if in the future many such entried would be added then they may get too burdensome for the players - so think about it.
; a willing modder could also make movie files (.bik) for certain great cities (eg. Constantinople, Kiev, Cairo, Baghdad) to provide more immersion for the players
