Feel free to suggest any names you think might be missing from the mod; just keep in mind that most of the names are historical!

Gonna copy this from reddit (not mine!)

"Nuwang" and "Tiannuwang" are awkward in Chinese I think. The more often used words are "Huanghou" for empress and "Wanghou" for queen.

"Junfa" for fascist leaders of China is weird because it refers to military dictators of any ideology, not necessarily fascists per se. "Lingdao" meaning "leader" would be a good analogy to the titles of European fascists.

Maybe "Great Joseon" or "Kingdom of Goryeo" for monarchic Korea?

Parliamentary Russia as "White Russia" is a strange choice since the Whites comprised of monarchists and proto-fascists as well as republicans. Something more straightforward, like Russian Republic, would also be historical.

"Third Reich" for fascist Germany is a weird choice since that's super historically contingent. Why not just German Reich, or Greater German Reich?

In general, use <Adjective> <Realm> as a template for fascist countries? Like Dutch Rijk, or Nordic Riket.

Aztlan or some variation thereof would be good for fascist Aztecs.

Maybe more creative, slightly non-historical names for large communist countries. Like German Raterepublik, from the historical Bavarian Raterepublik.

If Jewish Spain is Sephardia, then Jewish Germany should be Ashkenaz, Jewish France should be Tzarfat, etc.

What if Jewish Phoenicia was Israel.

Just finished crafting a response on reddit to that post haha! Thanks for copying it here - makes me less likely to forget about these great suggestions!

Great job with the mod, looking at the list it seemed that most of the obvious names are already included.

Thinking of some obscure names for Russia I assumed that it would be appropriate to use Garðaríki (Gardariki) for ancient/medieval Russia with germanic religion. The norsemen initially used it to refer to the Northern Rus' around Novgorod. If local Slavic people would adopt the Norse religion, they could perhaps adopt the Norse name as well. I know there's that entire can of worms regarding combing the old Rus' with Russia, but I think that this particular instance could work.

@TLPD-AVW - It'd be a bit of work to set up a separate check for just a Germanic religion mixed with a variety of governments, but I think it'd be an interesting name for a Norse/Germanic theocratic Russia for sure!

Perhaps a bit of a bizarre suggestion, but it might be kind of neat for the leader names to switch to a 'username' like style after switching to 'Digital Democracy'? Could possibly be done by adding '@' symbols to the start of names, or putting first name and last names together, separating them by underscores or dashes even. (Although I'm not sure how such symbols would work within the mods code).

If you really wanted to get creative with it you could get a bit meta and give each of the leaders silly 'steam handles' although trying to think what a few dozen historic (and in this case potentially immortal) would use while socialising on a gaming sounds like bit of a bizarre and daunting task. It might be a nice easter egg for when you get into the very late game though.

@Ghost - I like that idea! I'm definitely going to spend some time soon on the Future Era governments and I'll make sure to keep these in mind. Thanks for the great suggestion!

Hello, SeelingCat. I have reporting this mod after I have test in huge map (Epic) with 12 player (with various Rule with Faith mod except for Government Title & Supergalactica Neptunia stuff and civs mod).

First Image:
https://i.imgur.com/XAuH2oL.jpg

Everything is work fine after 750 turns. No CTD at all and no weird bug (so far) like my previous problem when play with different leader lead by same civilization. Anarchy is work fine, playing with different player that lead by same civilization is work fine (thanks for fixing this major bug) and custom title (that made by other modder for supporting this mod) is work fine, as you can see the first image show my 5 Lucky Star leader come with different title (and Gamalatica player's title to make sure that they will not conflict with different civilization).

Second Image:
https://i.imgur.com/8n7IzWO.jpg

However. I have one huge problem when playing with Digital Democracy (or Cyber Democracy in RwF)'s leader title were the second image show the player's title being given as "@GoddessTomoya" instead of formal title "Goddess Tomoya" before I change back to Democracy (or Liberal Democracy in RwF) since this (Gamalatica) civilization always come with royal title like "Lady, Princess, Queen, Empress, Goddess, etc.". Although I like Ghost's idea about Digital Democracy's title, and this is not a huge problem by most of people/modders, but I think that you might adding SQL option to using normal/formal/royal title on this government instead of username-like title for some civilizations and leaders.

Although I still not update my civ mod to support this mod yet, as I have waiting when this mod is stability or complete update. I hope that you would like my my suggestion.

@Mastodonmk2 - excellent suggestion! I think I have an idea bout to make this work - I'll see if I can get this changed later today!

Should be fixed now!

A better name for a facist Dutch nation would be Dietsland (or Dutchland in English) it's the name Dutch nationalist use for a Netherlands that is united with Flanders.

Since facist Norway and Sweden's name overlap a bit so maybe you can do something like "Norweigen Riket" and "Swedish Rike" like the Nazi German Reich?

Lastly, maybe you can add some Greek titles to Cleopatra's Egypt like JFD did older versions of RwF?
SeelingCat  [developer] 15 Aug, 2019 @ 1:31pm 
@Maxhoekstra98 - Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely look into using Diestland/Greater Netherlands for Fascist Netherlands.

Norway and Sweden's names are based on the Quisling Regime and the Nordic Realm Party (Nordiska rikspartiet) of Sweden, respectively.

I'll look into adding some Ptolemaic titles for Cleo as well - good call!

I have a few more ideas, most of the related to the Netherlands. First off regarding the United Provinces, I feel like that the Dutch Republic would be a better name. While the Netherlands was known as the Republic of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands, the Dutch Republic is a more common and much more and better known name for that period. Also the Batavian Republic was a French puppet state so I feel like the Dutch Republic would be a better alternative for that one aswell.

A thing you could do for a Dutch merchant republic is change the leader title depending on size. Pensionary for a small MR Netherlands leader, Grand Pensionary for a medium and Stadholder for a large. Speaking of which, for a very short while the Netherlands was united with Belguim after the Napoleonic Wars during which it was known as the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, so maybe that could be its large monarchy name? Or just the name of a large absolute monarchy/parlimentary democracy?

I like that you added Greater Netherlands, though I still feel like Dietsland/Dutchland would be a better fit for facist Netherlands than Greater Netherlands.

I know that these aren't historically accurate so feel free to dissmiss them, but Crusader Kings II allowed the player to reform pagan religions and giving them a Pope-like leader. The Germanic pagans get the Fylkir, Romunavu the First Vaidila, Slavic pagans Chernoban, Suomenusko (Finnish paganism) Tietaja, and Tengri the Tengrikut. Maybe you could put these in for their respective large theocracies? Would be a nice reference at the very least.

@Maxhoekstra98 - Thanks again for the suggestions! I wasn't really happy with United Provinces so I'm going to adopt your recommendation with a twist so that Merchant Republic names will be Pensionary/Dutch Republic then Grand Pensionary/United Provinces of the Netherlands then Stadtholder/Republic of the Seven United Netherlands as you get bigger. I've also gone ahead and changed the small and tiny Monarchy names to use Holland instead of the capital/Netherlands in the title (so it'll be County of Holland for example). I've also swapped out Grand Pensionary/Batavian Republic for Konig/Konigin/United Kingdom of the Netherlands for the Parliamentary Democracy.

As for Dietsland, I'm going to keep it as Greater Netherlands for the moment since I'm considering making a sub-mod that will use more non-English names.

For the religious names, all theocracies have unique leader names (thanks to help from Tomatekh!) - Tietaja was included already for example. Germanic uses Goði/Gyðja since Fylkir is fictional (as is Chernoban - here it uses Volkhv/Vedunya). Tengrikut is a good suggestion however, so I'll add that. Also, while checking these I realized I somehow skipped Romuva's names in the file so now you can have Vaidila/Vaidilutė as well.

I'll have the new version with these changes up soon - I'm trying to sort out the Linux issue and the French localization at the same time. :D

Cool cool! Also a minor thing I noticed is that you forgot to add the unique female titles for a Greek and Macedon theocracy.
SeelingCat  [developer] 26 Aug, 2019 @ 6:49pm 
Hmm. They should use Basilinna or The Pythia if you don't have a religion or are following a religion that doesn't have full support coded. Is that not showing up in game for you?
Flactine 30 Sep, 2019 @ 5:07pm 
How about change "Manhattan Project" and "Operation Ivy" 's name too? Not all country call their nuclear weapon's project in these name.
