Editing ruler name and dynasty

[reaperous]

Is there any way i can edit the name and dynasty of my ruler and heir?

I imagine opening up the save and using ctrl+f to search for the present dynasty name will lead you to it without too much trouble. You might have to go through a few rulers first, but once you find it, just type in what you would like to replace it.

Edit: I'm not certain, but you may have to edit two entries if you've changed your heir or king into a general.

Nope, i can't find it by neither name nor dynasty, and if i search for dynasty it only turns up pretenders and possible heirs for Poland.

The easiest way to do it is save editing, make sure your save games aren't compressed, then use notepad or notepad++ (personally I would suggest notepad++) then use CTRL+F to search for;

• human=yes
• dynasty? (what ever the current dynasty name is)
• change it to whatever you want it to be
• enjoy your new dynastical name

Thanks a lot guys. If i search for Human=Yes i can find it, but for some reason searching for the dynasty name brings no results

Edit: Welp, nevermind.

If you are using notepad the coding is uncomfortable with changing some of the number values and sometimes takes a while to load, which is the main reason I much prefer notepad++

Hi guys,

I am also trying to change the name and dynasty of the dude I am playing in EUIV and have attempted to use notepad++ and searched for both dynasty name and human=yes and on several occasions found my rulers name and dynasty and so forth. Changing the name and dynasty does not work though, seeing as one of two things happen: either the game just cannot handle it and assumes I am not playing as a nation, or the name and dynasty of my ruler remains unchanged. I come to you guys, seeing as it is not working, hoping you can help me. If it matters at all, my ruler is in a union with two other countries, seeing as he is Christopher III von Wittelsbach, the starting character for Denmark, Sweden and Norway. I am specifically trying to play him as Denmark and change his name and dynasty.

With high hopes and regards,
