A small suggestion regarding territory

[unmerged(63324)]

I would like to make a suggestion regarding territory. If you're in control of a certain nation and you have territorial claims on land which you incorporate into your country later on, you should be able to rename it to the familiar name which your nation or people know it as. For example, if you're playing as Lithuania and you control Memel or Wilno, you should be able to rename those provinces Klaipeda and Vilnius respectively.

That's an interesting suggestion. In EU3:IN you can, so I am led to believe, change province names via a province decision (for example, the province containing St. Petersburg is named St. Petersburg when the province decision to found the city is made). Perhaps something like this could be implemented, although it would probably be more like something I'd expect modders to do rather than being included in the release version.

If they want to improve the game they should take a little inspiration from EU3 and include this feature!

I concur, that's also a great idea.

I agree. This should be fairly easy to do and would add a little bit of flavor to the game.

Actually, in IN you can change any province or city name you want, whenever you want, into anything you want. Since they're using the same engine for HOI 3 as IN, I would think that it would not be too much trouble to implement the same feature in HOI 3.

I would prefer it if there were also a list of linguistically proper names, or that it automatically changed to your nation's version of the name... I see little reason to name a province anything you want unless you are making a mod.

in IN, there are decisions which change the province name as one of their consequences as well as the ability to just change it whenever. i think parts of the reason is because it makes no sense for somewhere colonized by Russia to be named 'Louisiana' for example [no idea if that's a valid example, I'm pulling it out of the air here.]

anyway, i seem to remember the soviets being particularly prone to renaming everything they got their hands on, so it isn't purely a mod thing.

if this is implemented, and you know the historic name for a place, and you want to change it, you can. and if you just don't like looking at 'Stalingrad', well, you can rename that too.

heck, you could call it 'happy bunny land' if you really wanted.

but yeah, this is less significant in HoI than in EU3, certainly.


personally, i almost never changed the names in IN, apart from some colonies. it's So much easier to find places when they keep the same name you expect to find

... umm, yeah... i'm sure i had a point when i started... that is all...

<_< >_>

I REALLY (is that enough emphasis?) dislike the idea of the game changing the names of my provinces. I would love to have that be an option though.

It'd be hard to do that, Paradox would have to make 10,000 territory names... For every country, or atleast the major ones.

To all of those who say you think it's stupid and shouldn't be in, you can simply ignore it. On the other hand I'd prefer to rename Stalingrad to Hitlerburg, or Stalinsucks :rofl: .

Yeah, sounds great

 

[Battlecry]

Coding the game to change the names of provinces automatically depending on the controller would be a truly monumental project. I think the current (EU3: IN) ability to rename any province/city to whatever you like manually is enough.

 

[Thistletooth]

This sounds like a silly, if completely unnecessary, feature. Although it might be neat to rename every province my US Army captures to "Kilroy was here".
