Folks,

Here is what I did to get my custom names working (lifted from my support post).

Good News: I know how to get the two custom name ruleset files to work and have tested this successfully.     Bad News: The game should be allowing mod file overwrite but it isn't.  Not sure what other XMLs will not modifiy.

Solution for Name Rulesets:

1. In the data/english folder change the two existing rulesets extensions from .XML to .bak to have in case something goes wrong.
2. In the English folder copy in your modified files for these two items.
   1. Rename to match the orignal file names (may not be needed, but better safe then sorry).
3. Now jump back in to the data folder and locate the file called "Data.zip".
   1. Rename this by adding a few exclaimation points in from of it (should be like this: !!!Data.zip ) Again this is a backup if something blows up. You can just remove the exclaimation points and go back to business as usual.
4. Now start a game.
   1. There is no need for the /createblalbla command line item.
5. The game will hang for a longer then normal period of time as it build sthe missing zip file from the core files.
   1. If you are paranoid like me start task manager before launching the game. When the game hangs you should see a process caled datazip.exe chugging away. That is the game rebuilding the file. Elemental may say "no responce" or something like that. Just  ignore that until the datazip.exe goes away.
6. Once it builds the new zip it will continue and you can setup your new game. You should be seeing new Worldnames from your file.
   1. If you look in the /data folder you should see and new data.zip close to the original size. Could be more or less depending on the edits in the file.
7. It took my older machine about 10 minutes or so to rebuild the data.zip. Your mileage may vary.
8. Enjoy
