Customizable Ruler Titles?

[ArchmageIlmryn]

Will titles of rulers be customizable during empire creation? If not, this seems like a feature that would be relatively easy to add considering most names are already customizable during empire creation and something widely appreciated by the playerbase(a fair amount of which probably would want their Divine Mandate ruler to be titled say God-Emperor rather than Archprophet).

Why would they want that? Divine Mandate represents a theocratic nation ruled by clergy, ala Iran in the period directly after the revolution. God-Emperor is more likely for a despotic monarchy.

Because the leader of a Military Republic might be a 'Primarch' or 'Supreme-General' or 'First General' or any number of other things.

The ruler of a Monarchy might be: 'King', 'Emperor', 'Chiefiest Chief you ever did Chief'

Democracy: 'Prime Minister', 'President', 'Chief Executive'

Religious Oligarchy: 'Pontifex', 'Pope', 'Grand Buddha', 'Space Pope', 'Grand Moff'

There are always a dozen different titles you might want for you Space Empire, why wouldn't you want to customize it?

I agree. Plus it would make sense considering that the Devs do want it so that your species is your species and highly customizable.

This would truly expand on how many options on governments you can have, as the limited amounts of governments actually can represent many others.

Please let this be a thing. Because then I'd get to be an Archduke in space. Also, I'm sure there will be mods for this.

I would not mind this in singleplayer, but do not want to make this possible in multiplayer. I like then i see Archprophet and i know, ok he/she have Divine Mandate.

I can already foresee people abusing the ever loving hell out of this in multiplayer.

I NEED IT

I'd love to see this in multiplayer! Makes it easier to role-play different empires and added customization of titles brings variety without affecting gameplay.

It works both ways. If someone begins to "invent" things like: Chicken God Emperor it braks immersions and RP. But you can change the names of almost everything so I guess it does not matter.

I like to roleplay in my games and customizable titles would be really great.

I don't know how many MP games in EU and CK are random but I only participated in MP games which were organized in a forum thread or with my friends. For the first case you can simply adjust the rules if you wish to play a game influenced by RP (or go the other way and everyone tries to build the most hilariously empire ).

People in MP games have plenty of ways to break immersion regardless, immersion-keeping names/titles would have to be houseruled anyways. There is at least in my opinion little difference in the immersion breakage of a ruler named 'Archprophet Dingus McDerplord' or one titled/named 'Grand Derplord Flergadersh.'

Thousand yes, this MUST be a feature. Doing RP in a multiplayer match could be too awesome to be true.

You know what could be awesome? A system where your own name lists could be downloaded by the other players before the start of the match. They are text files so I don't think it would be too heavy.

"I'm the President Dolores Muwanga, nice to meet you"
"I'm the motherf***** Imperator Gnaeus Aurelius, bend the knee or die."

I would really love it if the leader of the United Puppylonian Empire would actually be called Lord of All Puppies [insert name here], that would be helpful for both RP and more randomness in multiplayer. Maybe even the AI could randomise some own ruler titles, or the AI gets a set list of titles to choose from.

By the way, can we also customise our own empire's governmental system while playing? Like, if I made an AAR and there was a huge civil war, after which I want to be a republic instead of a dictatorship, or something like that. And what about the name itself? After losing Earth, why should the United Nations of Earth still call themselves that way?

Yes, you can change your government form (that one likely still limited by your ethos, but those can change after the game started) or be forced into it by rebel.

Wait ... So we can NOT customize the ruler titles :O ? Aww damn that means I am locked to the despotic empire for roleplay my space german empire and that means I am locked to this "shitty" military stations instead of being able to have elite imperial guards or a giant space Tirpitz ...

I like this idea a lot and would love to have it. I think it could be an issue if you have situations where you have male and female versions of titles, king/queen for example, unless you can customize the titles for both genders.
