this is not working for me

actually i was wrong there are nomadic alan rulers in early start dates but they still have the title khagan which makes no since as theyre an iranian people

could you add cultural ruler titles for nomadic governments? ik its not really possible in vanilla for any non-altaic realm to be nomadic but when I use mods to make my gothic realm nomadic i'd prefer reikas or wtv instead of khagan/khan which is a mongolic and turkic word.

Absolutely love this mod, really brings flavour to the world perfect for my vanilla plus games. I would also love to see a version of this for When the World Stopped Making Sense, there is a fair bit of cultural naming already there but there a definitely a few large gaps that could do with filling in.

Worked like a charm, thanks for the quick fix!

Fixed in the latest version!
It was an extra pair of quotation marks that broke part of the landed_titles file. Oops, sorry about that!

I will investigate and hopefully fix it for the next release. I'm thinking there might be some typo / syntax error in the file.

I'm also having my Indian subcontinent turning into no character zones with this mod enabled.

Having the same problem, I downloaded it outside of steam and also tried a few releases back but the bug kept happening.

Yes, I disabled all the other mods I had installed and tested this one alone. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled MCN and got the same result.

@RazgrizInvicta does it happen with only this mod enabled?

Hey, love the mod. But for some reason enabling it makes large sections of Asia unplayable. Most Indian and Tibetan and Northwestern Chinese provinces still exist on the map, but they're transparent and they have no characters to them. I have all the DLC and I've isolated this mod as the cause. Don't really know what to do.

There's now a dedicated version for A.D. 633: Rise of Islam, available here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1366353511

yo, does this work with the Nomina Vera mod?

The Pontic Steppe and other such made-up empires are indeed incredibly annoying.

"Pontic Steppe" as a name at least actually exists IRL, definetely not for an empire, but for a geographic region. I will try adding translations for it but it will still mean the same thing.

It's the game developer's decision for a "Pontic Steppe" empire to "exist" and since MCN's scope is to pretty much just provide more name variants in more languages, I really shouldn't just go ahead and change it to something else entirely.

Do you have an idea of what "Pontic Steppe Empire" name should be? I saw it & I think it's an insanely stupid name for an empire to have. I thought your mod might have an idea for it, but I still see it as "Pontic Steppe". Or do you know any mod that change some of the empire names?
Other than that, I do like a lot of the names you added in the mod. I just never like "Pontic Steppe" as a name for an empire.

I have a suggestion to the one of the Old Saxon culture that is in Germany. there they called the king rather Kuningaz

Are you going to add Komes/Komessa for Greek Count/Countess and Doukissa for Greek Duchess?

I don't know. If that mod modifies the landed_titles file it's not, otherwise it is.
Officially only vanilla and HIP is supported.

Is this compatible with the mod Ck2plus mod?

@lebowski26

Nope. That was actually part of MCN's scope a while back, and the title changes are still part of the mod, but have not been updated/extended in a long time.

For vanilla CK2 there are already quite a lot (32) of cultures covered, and for the other games there's no need (HIP does that by itself, and CK3 has a different and excellent mod that does that)

I might, however, extract those into a separate mod in the future, and remove them from MCN.

Ok, I understand that! Just asked because CleanSlate seems like a really cool and helpful addition to the mod's world. Anyway, another question: do you plan do to a second mod in the future, similar to this one, but with cultural title names, like adding variations to "count", "duke", "king" and so on for different cultures?

@lebowski26 Hi, thanks for enjoying it!

But unfortunately no, for CK2, MCN only works with vanilla and HIP.

Others are welcome to make compatibility patches, and that would be greatly appreciated. On my part though, MCN is already taking a lot of time and effort to maintain and develop further, so I had to put CK2 on hold (meaning that the existing versions will be maintained, but no new ones made), so that I can focus on the newer games instead.

Hello! Is there a version of this awesome mod that works with CK2+ and CleanSlate? Thank you!

:)) da, e și în română

the mod description is in english, romanian and german

lol cand am vazut ca e scris in romana m am speriat:))) nu intelegeam de ce

@hori thanks bro

I use this https://github.com/hmlendea/more-cultural-names-builder to generate the mod.

Here is the MCN mod itself https://github.com/hmlendea/more-cultural-names (locations.xml for example)

@hori I wonder how do you add names quickly? I want to make new cultures and I don't want to be adding names till the eternity.

Any love for the Aztecs?

Komes/Komessa for Greek Count/Countess and Doukissa for Greek Duchess, please? :(

@Roofus a total of 4954 landed titles have roman localisations

How much Roman localization is in this mod?

Incredibly well-made. A tad headache-inducing, as well.

Well you can play in ironman but achievements are disabled

question is this iron man compatible

Yes, sounds like a conflict

Playing a new 769 game with only this mod enabled does in fact work:
https://i.postimg.cc/pr0kp6wx/scr-1605992114.jpg

validate_cultural_names does not work, however, when continuing my modded savegame. Which makes me think there must be some mod conflicting with this one

@Roszek England should appear as Lloegr in welsh

Here are some steps that we can try in order to see why that's not the case:

1.
I know this sounds like a cheap suggestion, and you probably did that already, but please double check that the mod appears in the launcher and is enabled.

2.
Then, could you try loading up the game using *only* this mod and try to see if a change occurs?

3.
You could also try opening the in-game console (the ` key, left of the 1 key, below Esc) and entering the following command: validate_cultural_names
This command will force the game to refresh the cultural names of all the titles in the game.

4.
Then if this fails try unsubscribing, deleting any leftover files (of this mod) from the mods folder, if any, and subscribing again and trying the first suggestions again.


Please report back with the result and which step fixed it for you, or if the problem still persists.

I find this mod fascinating and a much needed add to the vanilla game. Though I fail to see much of a change? I mean, in the CK2 version, the names of the counties do not appear to change at all from vanilla switches? Tried setting England culture to Welsh in order to try.

What about now?
I've reuploaded

since the update the mod isn't showing up in the launcher

I've uploaded a new version and hopefully fixed the problems for those who had issues activating the mod.
Let me know if you still encounter those problems, thanks.

Not showing on launcher

It's more that I've never got around finishing all of them, rather than forgetting :P
Eventually all default/vanilla names will be added (as long as they make sense, ofc, some of them are names from completely other places and I won't include those)

Thanks for this mod, but I see that you has forgotten to paste original dynamic names in some tittles (for exemple, compare vanilla c_lleida with your c_lleida, it missed arabic name or vanilla c_dublin with your c_dublin, it missed norse and irish names).

I'm not familiar with what wtwsms does, but the golden rule is that if it edits the landed_titles file, then they are incompatible.

Is it compatible with wtwsms? I am aware that this mod adds many new cultures, but they won't conflict?

Hi,
Thank you for your concern and informing me about it.

Yeah, I'm not sure why there's two and where the second one comes from. The zip is generated by the Paradox Launcher so I'm not sure what's going on, but I have an idea that I will try when updating the game the next time.

Another thing is that the main file is named "more-cultural-names.mod.mod" so it has ".mod" twice . Again this is because of the game launcher when uploading, as the file I created is named correctly. But at least it doesn't seem to be causing issues.

Hi there, I'm not sure if you're aware but there are two different descriptor.mod files [i.ibb.co] in the zip archive of the mod downloaded from this page.

I'm no CK2 mod author, but going by experience, I believe that the left-side version of the file would be the correct one, and the right-hand one should be deleted.

Thank you for creating and sharing the mod with us.
