Yes, it says British Canada at game start now. However, if you get too many different cores in a single blob it will default to continent name, i.e. if the UK would conquer the USA it would probably say "British North America"

OK, I'll just ask now. Who was the genius that came with this? :)

Nice pictures and info. The colony labeling feature is very neat, I just hope it works well, even in 'unforseen' cases. Can't wait for the Prussian Siam.

Oh, and the video and this nice screens absolutely make up for the lack of DD this week.

Well done with the coding! Must've taken some time.

Indeed, it all seems to be coming together very nicely indeed : ]

As an aside to the developer who was posting here, will the Boer republics be catered for? Are there likely to be any mechanics for a Boer war or is it down to the engine itself to simulate a generic Boer-style war, depending on the makeup of South Africa later in the game?

I'd like to play as Transvaal and defeat the British, if possible.

Should it still be that the in-game population is 1/4 of the historical population? Impressive.

There's a tooltip on that number to which mentions both your POP population and your actual population.

Just the one who holds the majority? or anyone who holds enough to get over the line?

i.e. Could you get, British Canada sharing borders with French Canada or would the one who got the biggest chunk be the only one to get the name?

AND its a BRILLIANT little feature, Great idea, Great Work

It is called Java because they have cores on it. It is Dutch because they own it.

Yeah, that's the way it works.

Names are generated ingame, so if you conquer a large enogh territory it will name it after your country.

Yes, it says British Canada at game start now. However, if you get too many different cores in a single blob it will default to continent name, i.e. if the UK would conquer the USA it would probably say "British North America"

That is a truly amazing feature !!! It shows definitely that Vicky 2 is a game of the fans, by the fans, for the fans :D

However sorry to hear that you guys are working during this week end... I hope that you are still enjoying this day ! ;)

It's just the majority of cores in your nation's land. It's fully possible to get "British Canada", "French Canada" and "Canada"(as an independent nation) to exist at the same time.

should wales not be called British Wales then? or is that because Great Britain has cores on the same provinces too so the secondary doesnt count? or maybe land connection.
Ireland likewise.

If it is Britain, they have cores on Wales and Scotland. But since it is past 1801, they should also get cores on Ireland :)

What if we own all the continents, could we have British Earth? :D

Awesome feature. Its the little details that add immersion like this that really make a game come alive.

So with that in mind- nation specific regiment names please.
