I dont know how many of you have renamed your civs, but id appreciate it if someone explained exactly how. I edit both the civilisation.txt and civ_str.txt but it always claims it cant find the new name. So how do you give them new names/citys/descriptions ...anyone?

To change the name of a civ in the game, all you need to edit is civ_str.txt. Illogical as it is, the name in the start-up screen is stored in the 'singular' string, so GREEK_SINGULAR for the Greeks (as opposed to plain GREEK as one would expect). To change the name of the Greeks to e.g. Belgians, change GREEK_SINGULAR "Greek" to GREEK_SINGULAR "Belgian". Change the other strings (GREEK, GREEK_LEADERM_NAME, GREEK_LEADERF_NAME, GREEK_COUNTRY_NAME, GREEK_SINGULAR, GREEK_PLURAL) and city names as well and you're ready to go. If you want more than the standard of 30 cities, add CIV_CITY_NAME GREEK_CITY_31 (and 32, 33, etc) to civilization.txt and GREEK_CITY_31 "Charleroi" (or whatever) to civ_str.txt.
Hope this helps...

This is as off-topic as anything, but ...
Locutus, you obviously like Science Fiction (or at least star in it) and made a reference to an obscure city in Maryland, so ...
Are you by any chance a Harry Turtledove fan?
Edit: Er, Americentric of me . Belgium, rather, but the Question still holds.If you Ignore YOUR Rights, they Will go away.

Sorry, it's very late over here , but if you can find Harry Turtledove's work in the Netherlands, I think that you'd enjoy it.
He specializes in Alternate History, and it seems to me anyway, that a Civilization fan would take to it like a duck to, well, you know.
Besides, if you read his book, The Two Georges, you'd get to see what a paltry excuse for a town, our version of Charleroi isIf you Ignore YOUR Rights, they Will go away.
