File: data/regimentnames.txt

By editing this file you can modify the available names for regiments during generation. Not all naming schemes are exposed in this file at the moment, but you can add more names.

The file contains a number of text lines, each specifying a naming script.

The syntax is:

Code: Select all

Name;RelevantTypes;Requirements;Disqualifiers

RelevantTypes is separated by slashes
Requirements is a list of requirements separated by commas - each requirement can contain multiple allowed items separated by slashes
Disqualifiers are optional, and take the same form as the requirements

Here is an example:

Code: Select all

Phalanx;LightInfantry/HeavyInfantry;Spear/Pike/Longspear,L:Greek

The first part is the name "Phalanx" we want to add.
The second part is "LightInfantry/HeavyInfantry". This means the name can be applied if the regiment type is either LightInfantry or HeavyInfantry.
The third part is "Spear/Pike/Longspear,L:Greek". This two requirements must be met. The first is "Spear/Pike/Longspear" - either of these weapons must used by the regiment. The second is L:Greek, which means the language of the culture must be Greek.
There is no disqualifier part.

Another example:

Code: Select all

Swashbucklers;LightInfantry;PaddedCloth/NoArmor/Leather Armor,Long Knife/Dagger/Short Sword/Rapier,TL:Cultured+;Small Shield/Medium Shield/Large Shield

First part is "Swashbucklers" - the name.
Second part is LightInfantry. Only this regiment type can have this name.
Third part, requirements, is "Padded Cloth/NoArmor/Leather Armor,Long Knife/Dagger/Short Sword/Rapier,TL:Cultured+". Three requirements: Firstly, either the regiments must wear Padded Cloth, Leather Armor or have NoArmor (a special identifier indicating no armor). Secondly, the regiment must use a Long Knife, Dagger, Short Sword or Rapier. Thirdly, the TL:Cultured+ means the culture must have a Tech Level of Cultured or higher.
The final part, disqualifiers, is "Small Shield/Medium Shield/Large Shield". If any of Small Shield, Medium Shield or Large Shield is used by the regiment, this name will not be applied.

Now the relevant identifiers which can be used in these scripts. (work in progress - there are more)
