[Modding Q] City names

March 5, 2012 12:21:18 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

For my custom faction, the Sea Serpents, can I set up a mod which will run through a list of city names for me rather than generating totally random ones?  For example my backstory is related to a group of seafaring peoples who have decided to band together and set up colonies on this newly discovered land.  My original city is always named Landfall, and it would be nice if it (and others to follow) defaulted to my own naming conventions rather than some random gobbledygook.

Yes. In your raceconfig, you can set them up like this

              <Capital>Athica</Capital>
        <City>Avalan</City>
        <City>Tylan</City>
        <City>Denara</City>
        <City>Keeran's Hold</City>
        <City>Mirthrandra</City>
        <City>Farcross</City>
        <City>Staidenheart</City>
        <City>Larrenstree</City>
        <City>Seera's Pass</City>

the list goes from top to bottom

You could also use the faction editor to set up your race. It has a place to set the city names (separate by , no spaces).
