City name auto-generate list

[percuno]

What file stores the city names that are automatically generated when you build a city? I wanted to add a bunch, as I am geting sick of cityname1 type cities (and cityname2, cityname3...)

Is there a way that I can create a completely new civilization, with its own name, leaders, city names, etc?

The files you need are civilisation.txt in your ..\ctp2_data\default\gamedata\ folder and civ_str.txt in your ..\ctp2_data\default\gamedata\ folder. civilisation.txt contains the civilsation definitions and civ_str.txt contains the strings reffered by the civilisation.txt.

I found the former, but it didn't have the info. I needed, thanks for the heads-up about the latter.

So if I want to go beyond 30 predefined city names, can I just add, for example,

CIV_CITY_NAME GREEK_CITY_31
CIV_CITY_NAME GREEK_CITY_32
CIV_CITY_NAME GREEK_CITY_33

to the civilisation.txt file, and then add

GREEK_CITY_31 "Charon"
GREEK_CITY_32 "Geryon"
GREEK_CITY_33 "Charybdis"

to civ-str.txt?

Why don't you try it. The worst thing that could happen is to make CTP2 crash. But to answer your question: Yes it is the way as it works.

I just should say that mods like ApolytonPack already have more city names per civ.
