Petrezok Pertrezok: Pertrezok Reloaded (AKA Circassia's Naming Issues)

[Straigthtsilver]

After playing a couple of games in the vicinity of Circassia and occasionally checking on their rulers, I noticed a bizarre trend in the naming of their kings. At first, I thought it was just a couple of rulers with the same name reigning for ages, but closer inspection revealed that they were actually going through kings at the normal pace, but all of them had almost identical names!

The last straw for me was when, in my current Mamelukes game, I checked up on Circassia and saw this dynamic ruler-heir duo leading the Adyghe tribes:

The thing is, I hesitate labelling this a bug because, upon looking at the Circassia /country file, it just looks like Paradox decided to cut a few corners with naming options rather than something going wrong.

Not only is 'Pertrezok' incredibly weighted in the options, but the handful of naming options in the first place means that Circassia is stuck with very little creativity in terms of rulers/leaders.

Given the opportunity, I'd be happy to compile a more complete list of naming options, and I'm sure there are a few other people in the community with country ruler/leader naming grievances who'd like to help out with others.

Petrezok; possible ancestor of Ed Balls?

I agree that there should be more names, because it ain't that much effort.
But Circassia is probably a nation which (in the eyes of Paradox) is a nation that will most likely get eaten within a few decades.

With that Hostile core creation it lasts a lot (as a vassal)

I wouldn't mind it that much if their last name wasn't also Petrezok. If it was just like Petrezok XVI of (dynasty), kinda like France's Louis Brigade, then it'd be very believable.

I've actually seen them typically survive for well over a hundred years in each game I've played in 1.8.1. Their extra-coring cost NI means that they're aren't a very tempting target unless Crimea or the Ottomans are blobbing.

in my tabarestan game I had an endless armada of belzebuks as generals and kings until i formed persia, it wasnt that bad but still noticeable. some more names or the french number system would be nice.
