Updating names mid game

Walsh06 · 03-09-2015, 04:08 AM

So my basic issue is I want to update the names database during a game. I have create a game in Ireland and the world file was set to 90 irish and 10 UK (which I assume is what affects name frequency). It turns out the Irish names are very Irish and I want to balance with some more normal names which probably would come from US and UK.

So what are my options. Is there a way to change the percentages?? Or would I have to go in and change a names file so that UK names are set to Irish??

Just change the percentages using the in-game editor. Instead of having 90% Irish names and 10% English names, change it to something like 80-20 or 70-30.

The changes only apply to newly created players, so the change won't be apparent immediately.
