In retrospect, I ought to have done this sooner, but here we are.

I have taken the freedom to update update this mod to 3.11.*.

Here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3214774618

@Galle I hope this is quite alright with you - if it isn't at all, please do tell!

On the one hand can you make a 3.6.1 version its not working for 3.6.1 (I downgraded Stellaris)
Beast-Storm 5 Oct, 2023 @ 4:27pm 
If you update this mod... please leave this as a legacy version (unchanged and left alone as it is)

I'm the same as 12th Archknight down below lmao finally found the culprit.

Would really appreciate for this mod to be updated to forked to the latest version of the game.
victim of the stairs 18 Feb, 2023 @ 2:41pm 
Is this going to be updated in the future by any chance?
12th Archknight 16 Feb, 2023 @ 8:44am 
So THIS is the mod causing none of the ai empires to have names ngl i dont really remember adding this mod =x
CaesarSaladin 12 Jan, 2023 @ 5:44am 
Thank you for the great mod if you choose to be done with it after 3.6 broke it :) I see it’s been 8 months since the last update.
greensniperhat 15 Dec, 2022 @ 8:55pm 
naming format got changed a bit in 3.6, basically all the lookups part in the code is broken now.
AdmiralWarron 12 Dec, 2022 @ 9:37am 
I noticed way too late, that all my random empires dont have names. Is there a way to regen all the names ?
SomeTrashGuy 3 Dec, 2022 @ 4:36pm 
I don't know if this is Gigastructural Engineering or this mod doing it (probably this one) but all the nations I did not make in the 3.6 game I just started are literally nonexistent. They have no names. So... I'm gonna say no it's probably not compatible with 3.6 yet.
Zephyr 2 Oct, 2022 @ 8:35am 
Does this work with 3.5?
DrStrangelove05 3 Sep, 2022 @ 9:50am 
Is the mod achievement compatible?
Gaël 30 Aug, 2022 @ 10:00am 
Really like this mod, the names are so much better!
I encountered a small bug when a Fallen Empire awakened (the materialist one): their name changed to just 'of Logic' (missing the first part).
I've also had a typo when becoming the Galactic Emperor: my nation (a machine intelligence) was renamed to 'Galatic Matrix' (missing a c), but I suspect this comes from the main game.

Hi Galle; noticed that one of my ingame countries has an underscore(_) as part of its name.

So I went into your mod localisation file and noticed a missing "_" in the definitions;

the Heavens:0 "the Heavens" should read:

the_Heavens:0 "the Heavens"

Hope that helps!

All the mercenary enclaves that I am getting have incomplete (empty) names, oddly enough.
Shawtyfreude 28 May, 2022 @ 11:35pm 
any way you can post a legacy one? i really didn't expect to lose my week old save out of nowhere like that :(
Galle  [author] 24 May, 2022 @ 9:16am 
Also, fair warning, you will probably need a new save for the new version, as the changes will break already-generated names.
Galle  [author] 24 May, 2022 @ 9:13am 
Another update, with both bug fixes AND new features!

@Sulfurine: I'd already fixed those issues in my development build, but thanks for the help anyway.
Akirazine 23 May, 2022 @ 7:52am 
Hey thanks for your work ! While troubleshooting a similar issue in which rebel empires and mercenary companies kept spawning with incomplete names i found a few remaining errors in your mod :

00_empires_names, line 674 : missing "1" in "Bone = 1"
00_empires_names, line 3609 : missing bracket to close "random_weight"
ben_random_names_l_english, line 417 : missing underscore in "the_Heaven" loc key

Really hope this fixes the issue once for all because i really love your mod and don't feel like going back to bland vanilla empires names.

Thanks for the update
Galle  [author] 17 May, 2022 @ 5:52am 
Fixed several bugs. At the very least, any stability issues should be fixed.
Galle  [author] 15 May, 2022 @ 7:08am 
The mod has now been updated for 3.4. This update should also fix the oddities like some empires just being named "United".
Frenzy 13 May, 2022 @ 7:05am 
Just posting to confirm as well 3.4 broke the mod.
Wayjourner 12 May, 2022 @ 11:51pm 
Getting some errors in the latest version. Is the mod still being updated?
Overlord 12 May, 2022 @ 12:40pm 
Does not work in 3.4 anymore.
Frenzy 21 Mar, 2022 @ 9:39am 
Ran into some weird glitches in my most recent game. A resurgent fallen empire was renamed to a file name and the horde successor states had some weird names like "Allied [Species name] Allied".
Brokkhouse 23 Feb, 2022 @ 7:03am 
Hi, thank you for a great mod. Is this compatible with 3.3.1?
Morgalion 25 Jan, 2022 @ 4:29pm 
Is there a way you could make this iron-man compatible please? I love it but I am a greedy achievement boi.
greensniperhat 18 Jan, 2022 @ 8:27pm 
Sometimes primitives don't have civilization names, weird.

Half my maps empires start with the name United. Sadly, this mod makes things more confusing and not less.
Dignan Zazumba 1 Jan, 2022 @ 11:20am 
In Ethics and Civics Classic, default Direct Democracies seem to spawn nameless most of the time?
Minthara 18 Dec, 2021 @ 5:48am 
Does this mod modify the checksum?
FunnelVortex 13 Dec, 2021 @ 4:25pm 
I know it's an old sci-fi trope, but the empire being named after the species makes no sense for xenophile multi-species empire who probably incorporate 5+ species and have a president who isn't of the original species by mid-game.
wjmackenzie 13 Dec, 2021 @ 2:48pm 
The adjective portion of the naming conventions is... a little irksome. Empires that have "league" in their name tend to have "leaguan" as their adjective. I think it's due to how the game itself assigns the adjective, but it's still just weird.

The "people's federation of people" meme aspect is also rather strong.

Overall, good mod though, despite those two aspects. Endorsed
IAmTheRad 9 Dec, 2021 @ 9:52pm 
In line 659 of common\random_names\00_empire_names.txt, you forgot to add a "1" to the end of the ""Bone" =" line. Easy enough for the end user to fix, but it's a oddity.
greensniperhat 9 Dec, 2021 @ 6:40pm 
ay thanks mang!
Galle  [author] 9 Dec, 2021 @ 9:13am 
@greensniperhat Done.
greensniperhat 8 Dec, 2021 @ 6:45am 
please rename empire_formats.yml so it doesn't overwrite vanilla, please - got a mod conflict with amazing civics: megacorps, there's a country named format.olig_corp.1 in my game now.

Hmmmmmmm...
It appears that someone was blinded by the ring's majesty.

haha federation person haaaaaaaa

The People's Federation of People gives off the Republic of Central Africa in Central Africa vibes.
Cosmic Cat 5 Dec, 2021 @ 2:29am 
Haha, that People's Federation was funny :P
Hexagoros 4 Dec, 2021 @ 7:39pm 
All hail the People's Federation of People.
Oorillon 4 Dec, 2021 @ 11:25am 
The People's Federation of Peoples... lol
Darmug 4 Dec, 2021 @ 7:46am 
Thank you for the info
Galle  [author] 4 Dec, 2021 @ 6:49am 
You'd think it would be, but unfortunately, no, it appears that 00_random_names changes the checksum.
Darmug 3 Dec, 2021 @ 6:34pm 
Quick question, is this Iron Man comp?
Joker 1 Dec, 2021 @ 2:02pm 
Hey thanks a lot for this, I've been using this mod for years it really does help!
Manfred Cornburg 1 Dec, 2021 @ 10:01am 
"The People's Federation of Peoples" is hilarious
