Longer City/Unit/Religion Names

Description
In my opinion, the game has a ridiculously low character limit for names. Especially since some of the pre-existing city names exceed the 15 character limit. So I made this little mod which increases the character limit for city, unit, and religion names to 99 characters to allow longer names.

It does not affect save games so even if you have used the mod to give longer names to cities/units/religions you can still load the save without it.

The mod is also available for manual download at CivFanatics: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/longer-city-unit-religion-names.23963/

The mod should definitely still be compatible and working, it was made with the last patch and I still use it in my own game.

@Fnord Can you point me towards where exactly in the files I should go; I couldn't find where I needed to change up the unit names.

You can actually go into the files and make city names longer yourself.

Hi there, is this mod still working? Just wanting to check to see before downloading; hope you respond.

Is there a mod where you can make the names shorter? I want to name my cities "A", "B", "C" etc lol.

Let me guess... Flying Spaghetti Monster? lol You'll have to use 'Fly Spaghet Mon' I guess if you want that religion. I actually know a guy who has a tattoo for the Flying Spaghetti Monster, guess he takes it pretty seriously. He also says that white South Africans deserve the genocide against them because apparently they were bad to black South Africans in the past, or some nonsense like that.

I never tried to make the religion names lnger than 15 characters, but yeah, the mod works great for unit names and city names. For units I like to number and date them as they're made and track them as they upgrade.

Warrior I 4000BC Swordsman I 1000BC
War I 4000B Sword I 1000B LS I 800A
(LS means Longsword)
W1 4000B S1 1000B LS1 800A M1 1300 R1 1750 I1 1890 GW1 1910

After the first AD I stop using it to save space since nothing comes after AD. I'm kinda OCD in how I like to date things and it seems to have crept into the Civ games. I also number and date my cities as I settle/capture them. I almost ALWAYS play games on the 'Accurate Earth' map which generally automatically changes the city name to whatever major city is on that part of the world, which is nice, but I often check Google Maps myself to make sure it's accurate. This has greatly helped me to learn more of world geography, as it turns out.
