Editing/modding names/dynasties?
Is there a way to edit or mod the names of the characters? I'm sure I'm not the only one to want to substitute my own family name into some dynasty (or is it din-isty?).

Im guessing this will be moved to the Scenarios and Modifications forum soon
 I read in some other posts that you will be able to change the names of characters, so I'm guessing it will be possible, I know I'm gonna try that when I get it, well, the House of Kurek, counts of Bristol in 1066, King of England one day

Yes it's possible. Depending on exactly what you want to mod you would want to look at either the ...\ck\db\dynasties.txt file or possibly the ...\ck\db\character_names.csv file. The former governs last names used for dynasties and the latter is for first names.
Oh...and off to the scenarios and mods forum we go...

My big hope is that Paradox patches the game so we can click on characters names in game and rename them like military units in Hoi/Vicky.
Given the nature of the game this seems like it should be a no-brainer feature, not to mention it would be tons of fun. I really don't get why it wasn't added. ::shrug:: Oh, if we change the name of our dynasty in the savegame, I assume our future kids keep that name? |

Dynasties and Characters are two separate entities. You create your dynasty entity thing which has its own ID, and then you create characters and assign them to dynasties via the ID. So if you did change name string in the dynasty you're using, everyone belonging to that dynasty would have a name change.
Of course, my experimentation with modding so far has led to undead bastard sons and doppleganger courtiers, so don't just take my word for it
