The great "nitpicky bitching about Africa" post

[Black7Emperor7]

Also if any capable modders could please lend me a hand with a couple of issues I'm having atm so I can release my damn mod id appreciate it. shouldn't be too major, namely:

-Cant seem to change the culture and religion of Keffi county in central Nigeria. Tried so many barony codes or what have you but still nupe and orisha and its driving me insane. All surrounding counties are done.

-Modding council positions by culture seems to be a massive pain. I had it working mostly but the spymaster position is showing up blank, other positions displaying correctly. Can't work out what I've missed here since I'm just doing the same process for each position...

-somehow I broke the localised titles I've done for yoruba and central African culture groups. I think this happened after I added some new queen mother titles. Happened once before but I fixed it. Just need another set of eyes on this I think as its really just the flavorisation txt and a single localisation file that is required for titles.

-Finally, I've tried to change Boris name via localisation file for religion where you can edit deity list etc. Simply changing the display name from Bori to Tsafi. Game just ignores this and displays Bori still. This is important as I need to change Boris name as I want a faith of 'Bori' for Kanem as well, as its my mission to kill the 'Bori Blob' and localisation for Kanem is the final step.

Thank you!

Anyone think they might be able to help with this please?

I won't be able to help with all, since I barely have time to do my own bug-hunting. However I think I can help with those I have encountered myself.
- the game uses "province mapping". It's done in regions where number of provinces have similar histories - the game have it defined only in one of them and all others are defined in history/province_mapping/00_your_desired_region.txt
I believe that Keffi county baronies are mapped this way.

Localisation is quite tricky. I had some problems with it myself in my mod, as we probably already spoke about (Problem with kingdom of "Greater Nri" still being called "Igbo-Benue", despite my desparate attempts to change it.
The solution:
- put a "replace" directory to your localization folder in your mod (at the same level as is the "english" and other language versions). There keep the structure. And don't forget to make sure you have all the directories speller correctly.
