I tested it on a Windows 11 Virtual Machine with installing Python 3.12 through the Microsoft Store, and git from https://git-scm.com/downloads/win . Then i just did the command
pip install antlr4-python3-runtime
in CMD, i went to /generator and then i ran python3 main.py. If you still have issues running it, just send me a DM and we can work it out.

Netcat, I can't run your code, how did you install Antlr4?

I believe I already fixed that in my version, will be updated soon.

Great mod, but sometimes it says "Prinedom of" instead of "Princedom of" - particularly looking at the Prinedom of Joseon for a vassalized Korea

Awesome! Yeah this mod really breathes new life into the game for me (i love seeing the names of nations change as a playthrough goes on, so this is basically perfect). That's why I'm putting (maybe too much) effort into this, haha.

I did change some things around per personal preference, I'll try to make a comprehensive list of all the changes I made so it's easy to keep track of.

I don't have that much modding experience with EU4 itself but I found this mod to be a great entrypoint for that, so I'm just playing around with it at this point, and seeing what other ideas i could come up with to make it even better.

I'll also stop hogging the comment section now so other people can come up with ideas!

Hollllllly cow, you truly put way more effort into this than I ever intended to, didn't you?

This is very cool. I'll gladly include your work and pin you as co-author.

Ok, I'll look into this tomorrow.

I've been working on a complete overhaul of the structure of the rules file as well. i've been experimenting with YAML instead of JSON, but i figured a structure similar to regular paradox script files may be better, so i made my own parser for it as well.

The benefit of this is that not only is it now closer to the regular PDX modding script language, but it also benefits from formatting and code highlighting using the CWTools Paradox Language Services extension for VSCode, which makes adding rules much easier (at least, in my experience.)

The main script is now extensible and efficient as well, so that's a huge bonus too.

If you'd like to take a look before i do any pull requests, feel free to check it out here. The rules are now in rules/rules.txt

Enjoy your holidays!

I'm on holidays rn, so I cannot change anything. I'll look into your changes after I return next week.

Another update (I feel like a co-developer at this point, lol), I managed to get the feudatory/protectorate idea to work on my end. To my surprise, multiple countries can have the same name as well, which is convenient.

If you'd like, I could add this to the mod as well.

I also made an effort to significantly optimise your script, it now finishes in only a few seconds compared to the several minutes of the original. If you upload your mod to an online repository such as Github, i could make a pull request for you.

To add to my previous comment, I have some ideas for how to construct this, alongside a similar suggestion for feudatories. Instead of marking certain tags as a feudatory, instead check if:
- it is a subject
- its overlord has the mandate of heaven
- a nation with the name does not yet exist

Then, for feudatories, assign a name based on the *area* of China it is in
For protectorates, similarly, assign a name based on the *region* it is in. (so Anxi for Central Asia region, Andong for Manchuria region, Anbei for Mongolia region, Annan for Indochina region)

Could it be possible to have subjects of the Emperor of China be marked as "protectorates"?
Examples are the Tang dynasty protectorates, Anxi, Anbei, Andong, Annan and Chanyu, as can be seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_dynasty_in_Inner_Asia#/media/File:Tang_Protectorates.png

Oh awesome, thanks

ok got it.

Sullex, many unique governments have custom names.
For example United Provinces, Mong, etc.

that could be too excessive though since you could form out of the nation still with the government so it would have to be a general title that would fit any nation i guess

so it changes with government types, ever thought about unique names for the unique governments?

Here's a mod that does what you had in mind:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2138662155

TsEragon, what you mention here, are names in local languages. The goal of this mod is to have names like "Kingdom of Sweden" or "Republic of Genoa".

Yes, my friend, that's not the original name of the structure we call the Ottoman Empire. It was named "Ottoman Sultanate" by European writers and leaders. The state known as the "Ottoman Sultanate" was actually called the "Devlet-i Aliyye" (State of the Exalted), meaning the Eternal State. They never called themselves the Ottoman Sultanate. In my opinion, most of the state names here are misrepresented. By dynamic names, do you mean titles like empire, kingdom, khanate, or sultanate, or actual dynamic names?

TsEragon, it is the correct name.

*i have no idea, typo.

dynamic names but Ottoman Sultanate? BRUH.

Such names I never found used.

I'm just spitballing so I'm not actually sure if that would be a good idea or just bloat but if anything maybe it should be a addition of you reach empire rank? But Some wouldn't sound right in some naming positions like the first good one that comes to mind maybe is "western European empire of ******" but you're free to trash the idea because that sounds like a mouthfull to have to see on the map but u have no idea

I guess there's the USA and the UCA... But you cannot form them OUTSIDE America.

You can always add more names of you want.

Just thinking about how some names are derived from location with some countries

"North american" at the start of a title if your nation consists of the region or superregion but maybe that's a bit excessive

Ben0316, all vanilla names are preserved. The Turkish localised named (for example Eyalet-i Misr) are in. Regular countries that didn't have a custom name just get swapped to "Eyalet of X".

Scullex, I don't understand your question.

actually, good point to ask, if big enough does the geography get stapled onto the name?

all we do is win win win no matter what, time to make the north american confederation of lesbos

does the mod add eyelat names to the tags (e.g. eyalet-i tunus)

Netcat, sadly no. The mod has to have the name directly defined, they aren't dynamically generated during the gameplay.

If you're making a mod, you can use the attached generator to generate a build of the mod that will work with your tags. See the tutorial in the description.

Could it be possible to have "default" names for nations that are not explicitly supported by this mod? For example, if i make a custom nation "Greenland" that is a kingdom, could it automatically become "Kingdom of Greenland"?

While I have been talking with Jey on Discord, I would like to share something with the comments here.

https://pastebin.com/uCwUKT7n

I've been working on more rules for subject types from various mods, starting with Expanded Subjects. As for why mandala vassals have rules in Oceania, it is due to how another mod, Extended Timeline, handles that area, combined with the general proximity.

Netcat, Great Armenia has been added, EoC Korea now gets named "Great Zhonghan".

For a "Korean Chinese empire", you could go with 中韓 or "Zhonghan (Chinese pronunciation) / Junghan (Korean pronunciation)", which has 中 (meaning "central", referring to China as the center of civilisation) and 韓 (meaning "Han", referring to the three "Han" states of Korea, and not to be confused with the Chinese Han dynasty, which is entirely distinct).

In a modern context it is usually used to describe Chinese-Korean relations. Maybe it could indicate a "harmonious" coexistence of the Korean and Chinese people, but maybe i'm looking into it too much now lol.

Netcat, "Great Yi" is intentional. I wanted to include a fancy dynastic name for Korea as Chinese empire. If you have a better idea how to call it, I'm open to suggestions.

When it comes to Armenia, I will address that issue, it is indeed a bug on my side.

Another thing to note, when Armenia forms "Great Armenia", it will change its name back to "Kingdom of Armenia". I guess this is personal preference but i think Great Armenia sounds cooler.

Great Mod! I do have one nitpick though, when playing as Korea and becoming the emperor of China, the name becomes "Great Yi", but this should be "Great Joseon" instead. Yi is the clan name of the imperial family of Joseon, but not the name of the country.

oh wait nevermind it already is

is this extended timeline compatible?

Celestial Caesar, Sunconure11 - the issue has been addressed.

I can confirm the same issue, but didn’t think it was this mod

Ok, I'll check it when I have time

Awesome mod, the only bug I've found with it is that it renames the Estates tab to "Electorate of Teotitlan" for some reason.

Thank you!
