Baye Saint-Louis

[geauxtigers]

I noticed in a recent playthrough as France that the province of Auia (ID:884) in coastal Texas renamed itself to Baye Saint-Louis upon colonization. This is a bit odd because as far as I can tell there is no such thing as Bay Saint Louis, Texas, while there is a Bay Saint Louis, MS that would be located in the province of Taneks-Haya (ID: 2530) which currently has no dynamic province name. I'm not sure if this is an error or if there is some reason to have the naming this way, but it seemed a bit strange to me.

Probably a result of an old province getting reshaped/moved somewhere else, without getting its dynamic names updated.

Shenyang for example gets renamed to Port Arthur when held by Russia, even though it no longer even has a port post-Manchu patch.

The name is after Fort Saint Louis, the first European settlement in the area.

I suppose that makes some sense, though I find it a bit odd to name a province after a failed colony that didn't even leave its name behind for the bay it is on while leaving the place actually called Bay Saint Louis today with no dynamic name at all.

I've done some double-checking of it, and although it's not optimal, we don't have so much info in the are on early colonial times, TBH.
