Bug in randomleaders.csv? or am I an idiot

[unmerged(13787)]

I got tired of Leader 1 and Leader 2 while playing as Persia, so I scoured the net for some Persian names, and inserted them in the correct placement (between ORI (?) and PEU(?)).

At first I thought I'd not done it right, so I double checked to make sure that Persia is indeed PER (as defined from world_names.csv) -- PER;Persia;;;;;;;;;;x

So how come after re-starting from the Desktop am I still getting Leader 1 on a new GC ?

I double checked randomleaders.csv to make sure I didn't have an extra space at the end of the names (here is a snipplet of some of the names)

PER;Afsaneh
PER;Afshan
PER;Afshin
PER;Ahmad
PER;Ahu
PER;Aida

Is this a bug? or am I just an idiot and completly missing something somewhere?

I'm moving this to the mod section. IIRC there is a tag in one of the database files which sets which leader name list you will use. I believe Persia's is set to MIN for minor and this will need to be changed. But someone in the other place will know better than I will.

I'm not sure but I presume that once the game was started, the leaders' names are loaded from the save game file and not from randomleaders.csv itself. Did you try to start a brand new game as Persia?

Not trying to be rude, but I did say a New GC, the boring Leader 1 and Leader 2 are still showing up. Again, not trying to be rude, just pointing out that I started a new GC.

Sorry, hadn't notice.

To make the game use the names in the randomleaders.csv file, you need to edit the country.csv file as follows:

Change: PER;DarkGray;MIN;MIN;Light_Grey;White;9;21;X
To: PER;DarkGray;PER;MIN;Light_Grey;White;9;21;X

Good luck! By the way, there are several new random leader names in the thread "randomleader.csv proposals/discussions" that is a few threads down from here.

Thank you. Perfect Fix

I'm happy with my 214 Random names now ... No more Leader 1 or Leader 2. WOOHOO

You did not have to scour the internet for Persian names. I have compiled a bunch of new random leader names (including Persia) by various people: http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=117325
