[Suggestion] Able to change name of war

[Trytols]

Would be more fun if it is possible to change the name of wars.
Way easy to do, just clicking on war name on war goal popup.

Im kinda "bored" of France conquest of xxx, Aggerssion war ecc...

I would like to rename a war the way i feel it should be named:
For instance a long war may be called "the 10 years war" and not the "Castillan conquest of xxx".

Paradox should really add this small modification to the game. Easy to do and more fun and flavour to our games.

If you want to be historical, you would name a war that lasted 10 years the "6 years war" or the "14 years war." Only nerds would name a 10-year war the "10-years war." I mean geez. Where's the excitement in that.

It'd be even better if only the WINNING alliance/person can change the name, as the victors write history, no?

 

[ringhloth]

[A]s the victors write history, no?

Well, mostly the people who write history write history.

 

[Red John]

Well, mostly the people who write history write history.

But the victors pressure the people who write the history to write the history in a more kind way to them.

Or something like that.

Yes please!

Confession: I used to rename the wars in my savegames. Now that's impossible with Ironman.

More customization is always nice. I'm more interested in the ability to rename and (most importantly) recolor my country in game. Let's just say there's a reason I never want to create Germany.

"More customization is always nice" that guy answer to you.
If you dont wanna rename it, leave it as they are, else we are asking the possibility to do it.

But still opposing sides have called wars in different names.
This is your story, so you should be able to name your wars.

I can edit anything in savegames, but the fact it is possible IN GAME is more fun.

I can change kings names, general names, religions, cultures and other in savegames but a click and a rename in-game isnt that hard to add.

I dont understand why you should not like the fact you can change war names in-game...

 

[IEKevin]

I confused does the name of a war matter in a game Like this really?. I never look at the name of a war

 

[Cryostorm15]

It would be kind of nice to rename wars if they can not find a way to give them more dynamic names, nothing is more boring than seeing the 30th War of Bohemian Aggression or your massive war against France and Russia that lasted 10 years and resulted in over 250,000 casualties called the Bohemian conquest of Poltava.

30th War of Bohemian Aggression

That's a lot of lost stability there. Ouch.
