Call to Arms: Fan Fork
Cwrwi doesn't seem to have any interest in maintaining this project, and with me having scrounged together a mostly working for my own mod, I have received a request to upload a copy of it on the Workshop.

The thing is, Leviathan added a lot of new provinces, hence the scrounge part. It is not complete.

But it could be. With your help.

I have seen quite a few comments with good feedback on the mod, if we pool together our know-how, we could resurrect the project.

Key word being we, I'm not gonna code in all of your suggestions on my own, I'm already slacking in trying to iron out crashes in my own mod, so I will need help.

I'm thinking of making a GitHub repository, where we can pool together our changes and additions, except I'm just not that adept at GitHub, so again, I will need help.

Please do comment here if you're willing to help, and what you could do for such a project!

I'll admit that I have no experience with modding EU4, but I'd be willing to learn to help this project.

I am willing to help, not with the code sadly, but I could be a good help with province and colony naming.

You are brave to do this, thank you, I own the largest historical discord server, so if you need help don't mind to add me, you might ask help in there

Historical Discord server? As in, a server that's only about discussing history?
Could be handy, but I'm hoping that I can crowdsource the changes/additions, not take this on my self 100%.

I just made a Git Repo here; https://github.com/Danarca/EU4-New-World-Colony-Names-Fan-Fork

The goal will be to translate the new provinces (will also have to find those...) for the languages already included, and then make it ready for 1.33

I've skimmed over the GitHub repository and the wiki's province list, and it seems like the most outstanding issue is that the dynamic name lists all stop at ID 4650, and there are about 250 or so provinces that have been added after that, particularly in eastern america and south-east asia. Would updating this mod to the current version just be a matter of filling in those blank names?

I think so, yes. Except there's 20 different languages in total...

Mind you, not all of those provinces are in America, which is where the focus of the mod is. I don't have an exact number, but I get the feeling the majority of those 250 provinces are in Asia.

We could try getting in contact with the credited translators, and see if any of them would be willing to fill in those gaps.

(A sidenote: looking through the files, it seems like the "Gaelic" province and colony names the entire Gaelic culture group shares are actually all Welsh, which is immediately aesthetically distinct from the Goidelic branch that Irish and Scottish Gaelic belong to. Maybe in the long-term we could seek out another translator to create a Gaelic names list distinct from the current Welsh list?)

Ah! Good catch!
When I 'fixed' this mod, I integrated it with my own mod, Miscmod, the Gaelic file is a remnant from that. I thought I'd caught all the files, besides whatever is in colonial_regions, that's a file I haven't touched after ripping it out :p

I'm willing to help for the Dutch language.
