Dynamic Province Names system in 1.8

[Myrten]

From latest dev diary:

In time, when Russia will begin to push Tatars away and settle the Russian plain. Civilization will come there and due to the dynamic province names system, big Russian cities will appear instead of Wild Fields. No more anachronisms!

Two questions:

1)Is this system going to be implemented in other areas?
2)Is there any chance for dynamic colony names in vanilla EU 4?

 

[NotConforming]

This System exists since 1.6 (I think). Dutch and Italian provinces change names depending on owner. Some others do too, but the Lowlands (Inheritance) and northern Itlay are very common.

 

[oblio-]

Weren't there some topics collecting province names in other languages a few months ago?

If we're lucky all those suggestions are actually included in the game.

 

[Ginnungagap]

The dynamic name changes of provinces could be overhauled completely in my book. Really it seems like the changes only apply for Austria and France in general. With a few other exceptions.

Austria is the only nation changing names no matter the province culture.

I hope AoW changes this to truly be more dynamic.

 

[Kalpa]

Well there certainly are provinces in India that utilize the system already

 

[Holland989]

As for how it is now, the system seems arbitrary, meaning that you don't know if the province name will change if someone else conquers said province. Poland for example (or the Polish culture rather said) has dynamic names in the Teutonic provinces, but they don't change because they aren't the right culture.
As Ginnungagap said, only if Austria (and any other German nation) conquers new land, the name changes.
This doesn't apply to any other nation as far as I know.

So in short, dynamic province names should be based on the liege's culture, not the culture of the province.

The current system doesn't even come close to this and I really hope Paradox implements a system like this(random colonial names). If not, then I'll just have to make a mod like that on my own.

They will be in 1.8

They will be in 1.8[/QUOTEdid the devs say this?

 

[Wizzington]

did the devs say this?

Yes.

 

[Simoleum]

Does this apply to colonies/uncolonized provinces as well?

 

[Kinasawa]

Yes.

And is fix the andalucian provinces with moor names when Castille owns them?

 

[Wizzington]

And is fix the andalucian provinces with moor names when Castille owns them?

Yes, that is fixed in 1.8.

 

[Zhetone]

Province name fix is the best thing about 1.8, and it will now be perfect. I had to obsessively culture convert everything before.

 

[Myrten]

Yes, that is fixed in 1.8.

That's great - I wasn't even aware that there was a province renaming system before

Any chance we could see colonial autorenaming in the future?

 

[hwoosh]

Related question: Did the bug that randomly changed the capital city name of colonized provinces ever get fixed?

 

[Rhomaioi]

Maybe province names could be tied to the new autonomy system?

So that a province with high autonomy would have its own culture's name, and a province with low autonomy would have its owner's culture's name.

 

[Zhetone]

That sounds like a nice idea but I'm not sure how it could be done.

 

[Enewald]

But if Tatars end up owning the Russians, do Russian cities get Tatar names?

What about Polish names for Ruthenian cities? Or Balkans becoming Turkish?
