English dynasty names

[Heman123]

Hey guys,

Is there any way to get the dynasty names back to the way they were in vanilla? The Abbassids are called Abbassiyun now for example. After all the hours I spent with vanilla Crusader Kings I got used to the regular english spelling. I installed HIP with all the modules.

Thanks

This is something that Arkopack Armories does.

The only way to not have that happen is to not install Arkopack Armories (although, yes, that means you also do not get the cool CoA's).

Yes, I know. I don't care for the change in dynasty names, either.

Note: You can prevent the dynasty names from showing up in the political map at all (e.g., you'll see "Arabian Empire" instead of "Abbasiyyun") by removing each instance of the line dynasty_title_names = yes from the file common/cultures/00_cultures.txt.

Personally I think it's misplaced in the Arkopack, it would fit better in SWMH (and you'd also have the option to go for fully English localisation).

SED affects titles, not dynasty names. There is currently no option which changes the dynasty names to vanilla version, other than to not install Arkopack Armories.

(Although I have a personal file I use which does this -- I suppose I could make that available, if there's a demand for it.)

Oh, right. I thought it was more than that, but then again, I haven't tried it.

We have no real choice since we can't deal separetly dynasties names and CoA code.
Arkopack follows SWMH's way to deal with cultural names though.
Mind that if you don't install Arkopack, you'll steal get cultural name from pure SMWH additional dynastic files, so fully English version, even for SWMH doesn't exist.

Actually, we can separate dynasty names from CoA code just fine. @Rylock and I both use a personal sub-mod that merely renames the dynasties back to vanilla (well, for the most part -- we could both just stand to not see the nativized -iyun suffix and be perfectly happy with the rest). Overriding just the name of the dynasty works fine, and it has no effect upon the assigned CoA or other dynasty details defined in ARKOpack.

ok, it is something new then ?

Could be. When we were exploring this, I tried it (using a separate file to just use the dynasty id & the name) and it didn't change the CoA, so likely it's something they changed/fixed when they did the last update for folderization.

It is in fact possibly something old that didn't work correctly since i remember having tested various things in this regard
So it opens the way for S.E.D to add Englicised names dynasties.

While this is helpful, the reason SED still doesn’t have dynasty names is I’ve been put off by the sheer number of them. And also it’s tough striking a balance between what different people want to see for Anglicized names. But perhaps I’ll write something to sort them by their relevance to the game (number of titles held) and go down the list that way. Then, partial completion would still be worthwhile.

I think it would be simpler to just stop the dynasty names from appearing on the political map. For now, you could have two choices--"Abbasiyyun" (default) and "Arabian Empire" (SED)--and then decide whether you want to expend the effort for a third choice of "Abbasid" (SED sub-option, like Mini-SWMH under SWMH) later.
